After the Flugsportclub Odenwald e.

In 1969 the connection to the water, electricity and telephone network could be carried out. In 1970 a gas station was built on the airfield. Construction of the asphalt runway began in 1986 , and a taxiway was also built shortly afterwards . At the same time, the airfield received the status of a commercial airfield and has since been open to air traffic six days a week. The airfield currently has five spacious hangars, a shipyard, a gas station, a glider workshop, a restaurant, a training room and the flight control tower.
