The Army Airfield Celle "Immelmann-Kaserne" ( ICAO Code : ETHC , abbreviated HFlPl Celle ) is a military airfield of the German Army in Lower Saxony . The facility, located in the district of the city of Celle , was opened in 1934 and has been in military use since then . During the Berlin Airlift in 1948/49, the airfield was an important operational base from which coal and food were flown to the western part of the sealed-off city . Today, the plant from being Bundeswehr mainly for training or exercises of airmobile infantry , the tactical training of helicopter pilots and separate from the basic training of NCOs and sergeant candidates used.
By the end of World War II , the term "was airbase Celle- Wietzenbruch "; during the Allied occupation from 1945 to 1957, his name was initially "Airfield B.118" , then "RAF Station Celle" . The army airfield was later given the name " Immelmann - Kaserne ".
Location and directions
Geographical location
The Army Airfield Celle is 4.8 kilometers southwest of the city center of Celle and 31.2 kilometers northeast of the city center of Hanover . In the west joins the Wietzenbruch, a moor-like area that is named after the river Wietze and the surrounding forest . The area also gave its name to the Wietzenbruch district to the north of the airfield. The Hanover – Hamburg railway line runs past to the east and south . The midpoint of the runway , the reference point of the airfield, is 39.3 meters (129 feet ) above sea level .
Transport links
The air base is approached via a branch connection of the state road 310, which serves as a feeder to the federal highways 7 and 352 . In addition to the autobahns, Celle and thus also the airfield are accessed nationwide by the federal highways 3 , 191 and 214 . Since December 2005, the Immelmann-Kaserne has had a stop on the city bus line 13 named after it "Kaserne".
history

Prehistory of aviation around Celle
In 1910 a private person named Schlueter made his first flight attempts on the Scheuener Heide on the outskirts of a district of Celle on the northern Allerseite . The citizens of Celle were invited as spectators through newspaper advertisements. However, aviation around Celle only gained importance when the Imperial Navy decided on the area near Scheuen in search of a “naval landing airfield”. The airfield was completed on October 3, 1918 and from then on regular flight operations took place until the end of the war . The pilots spread the news of the Kiel sailors' uprising very quickly in Celle and on November 7th, 1918 - starting from Scheuen - the uprising also broke out in Celle.
After the end of the war, the airfield was abandoned in June 1919 and further, verifiable flights did not take place again until the mid-1920s. However, the area was no longer of great importance. From the mid-1930s it was again used for aviation purposes as an external landing site for the Celle-Wietzenbruch air base.
The former airfield now partially includes the civil glider airfield Scheuen .
Wehrmacht 1933 to 1945
Since the German Reich was banned from having its own air force by the Treaty of Versailles after the First World War , the ruling National Socialists used the camouflage of the German Air Sports Association (DLV) to advance the armament of an air force. As in many other places in Germany, a suitable location for an air base was sought in the area around Celle. The choice fell on a site near Wietzenbruch. According to official information, one of the headquarters of the " Deutsche Verkehrs-Fliegerschule GmbH " (DVS) should be built there. The exact reason for this choice of location has not been handed down. The architectural management was in the hands of Ernst Sagebiel , who at the time set the tone for the construction of air bases across Germany.
With the deepening of the Fuhse Canal in the east and the Adam's Trench in the west, extensive work began to level and drain the boggy terrain. The first buildings were built at the same time, so that the planned flying school could move in in 1934 .
A little later, the flexible, boggy subsoil had to be mixed two spades deep with bitumen to prevent the aircraft from sinking in. Due to the bitumen-grass mixture, the surface water could only drain off poorly, so that large areas of water regularly formed on the airfield. Because of the springy subsurface, the airfield was named "rubber meadow" by the pilots.
On March 9, 1935, with a speech by Hermann Göring, the DLV gave up camouflage throughout Germany and the air force officially acted as host at the air base , the employees openly identified themselves as soldiers and wore the uniforms of the Wehrmacht .
In the further course the Reichsluftwaffe stationed ever larger aircraft on the air base; the training company ultimately comprised almost all of the common German military aircraft types of the time.
Due to its size, the school operation required external landing sites in the nearby towns of Hustedt, Scheuen and Dedelstorf . In 1937, for reasons of capacity, the blind flight training (forerunner of instrument flight ) had to be outsourced to the Wesendorf Air Base, about 35 kilometers further east .
After the start of the war , the flight school was relocated to Leipzig-Mockau Airport . From November to December 1939 the I. Group of the Sturzkampfgeschwader 77 lay here with their Junkers Ju 87B . In March 1940 the Heinkel He 111P of the II and III started from here . Group of the Kampfgeschwader 54 . But they were relocated in April. It was not until May 1943 that regular units were located here again, when parts of transport squadrons 1 , 2 and 4 with the Junkers Ju 52 were stationed here one after the other . After the last transport aircraft had withdrawn in March 1944, Group I of Kampfgeschwader 40 came to the field in July 1944 with the Heinkel He 177 and stayed until August. In the last months of the war, from March 1945, the II. Group of Jagdgeschwader 26 flew last missions with their Focke-Wulf Fw 190D from here.
From the spring of 1944 until the end of the war, the airfield was under the command of the air base in Wesendorf.
Fighting
From 1944 onwards, the Junkers Ju 88 was temporarily finished in an aircraft hangar , but Celle-Wietzenbruch remained of minor importance for the war. Therefore, and because of the skillful camouflage of the hangars, the square was rarely the target of Allied air raids . Attacks with on-board weapons by Allied combat aircraft on April 8, 1944 and a year later on April 9 or 10, 1945 are documented.
According to the attackers, a Junkers Ju 52 / 3m was destroyed in 1944 and a Messerschmitt Bf 109 , three Focke-Wulf Fw 190s and a Ju 88 were damaged. German contemporary witnesses, however, reported that during this attack an American fighter pilot attacked aircraft hangar V until the air defense system on the airfield had responded to the plane and “forced the pilot to disembark”.
According to Allied information, a total of twelve Savoia-Marchetti SM.83 , two Heinkel He 111 and three unspecified training aircraft were destroyed in an attack by 40 combat aircraft on April 10, 1945 . According to German information, this attack took place on April 9, 1945 and had no effect, as members of the last Wehrmacht unit stationed at the air base, the A / B 6 pilot school , blew up the remaining aircraft and then left the barracks .
The site was handed over to the British armed forces on April 11, 1945 by a sergeant who had been recalled without a fight and almost undamaged .
Allied forces 1945 to 1957
The British Air Force of Occupation moved into what the Allies initially referred to as Airfield B.118 , which later became the RAF Station Celle . Shortly after the capture, the British Air Force laid metal perforated panels on the airfield to make it more stable for larger aircraft. After initial connecting flights to Great Britain and surveillance flights along the air corridors to Berlin , the number of flight movements quickly fell again and the space remained of secondary importance.
From the end of May 1945, with a three-month break in the summer of 1945, a squadron of BAFO Spitfire PRXI / PR19 photo reconnaissance aircraft, the 2nd Squadron, was located here . At the end of 1946 it was the last remaining Spitfire squadron on German soil and moved to RAF Wunstorf in mid-April 1947 .
In 1947 there was no flight operation at all and the aircraft hangars served as storage areas for furniture and tanks .
Berlin Airlift
With the start of the Berlin Airlift in June 1948, this changed suddenly. The Allies urgently needed more airfields and Celle offered a strategically favorable location: the shortest distance to Berlin and directly on the central air corridor. In contrast to most of the other airlift locations, RAF Station Celle was not completely transferred to US administration. The British Air Force remained on site with a small contingent of soldiers and retained high command.
In addition to Faßberg and Wunstorf , the Celle Air Base was the third operational airport in the region. For the implementation of the supply flights of the 317th Troop Carrier Wing of the US Air Force with Douglas C-54 Skymaster , which initially mostly coal was flown to Berlin, the airfield had to be expanded considerably. Among other things, it received a siding with an unusually long loading ramp (around 300 meters) and a direct connection to the airfield, as well as a paved runway made of tar and macadam for the first time, as well as extensive storage areas north and south of the runway.
At the beginning of the airlift there was a total of about 600 tons of freight, in spring 1949 1000 tons of coal and 1000 tons of food were transported daily. Thus, after RAF station Faßberg , RAF station Celle developed into the place with the second highest turnover of goods. At that time half of all goods for supplying Berlin were flown from these two places to the trapped population. 5000 German workers supported the work on the air base. Large Nissen huts were built to accommodate them and the soldiers north of the barracks .
Meanwhile, the population of Celle got excited about the women called "Veronikas" who, attracted by the well-paid soldiers, were more or less openly looking for love affairs with Americans. A public appeal by the city of Celle denounced "women and girls [who] aroused ... annoyance and indignation" in the bourgeois population through their behavior. The public horror and the recurring calls for morality by municipal elected officials in the local and regional press finally became known nationwide. So on February 14, 1949 , the Stuttgarter Nachrichten dealt in a half-page article with “Celle - an indignant city”.
The airlift monument , which - in a somewhat smaller form than in Berlin and Frankfurt am Main - stands on the access road to the air base and also adorns Wietzenbruch's coat of arms, still testifies to the time of the airlift .
After the end of the airlift, the area was again used exclusively by the British Air Force , which was initially equipped with De Havilland DH.98 Mosquito . After the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950, the RAF Second Tactical Air Force began to rearm , which later became RAF Germany . For the RAF station in Celle , this meant a modernization through the influx of Vampires , the first jet aircraft that were stationed on the field. In January 1954, the two vampire squadrons of the 139th Wing (squadron) upgraded to their successor Venom .
The infrastructural ability to quickly set up a new airlift to Berlin was maintained and consistently expanded until German reunification . Among other things, the runway was first extended in the 1960s and later completely renewed. An instrument landing system was installed for runway 26 and comprehensive lighting was installed for the loading ramp at the end of the 1980s, shortly before the fall of the Berlin Wall .
Since a new airlift to Berlin would have been an internal affair of the state, but the Bundeswehr may only be active in Germany in the case of a declared defense situation, the Federal Ministry of the Interior bore the costs for the maintenance and expansion of the facilities.
Bundeswehr since 1957
One year after the establishment of the Bundeswehr , the British handed the airfield over to the German army aviators on November 29, 1957 . After Niedermendig and next to Fritzlar , Celle became one of the first locations of the then youngest troop branch of the German army , which over the years stationed various airborne units and units in Celle.
As a special feature, air force units with two air transport squadrons were also stationed in Celle from 1959 to 1967 . This resulted in a permanently mixed-use air base for the army and air force, which was unique in the Bundeswehr until the 1990s. However, the Lufttransportgeschwader 62 moved to Cologne as early as 1960 and later on to Wunstorf . The Air Transport Wing 63 , which was set up in Celle in 1961, was relocated to Hohn near Rendsburg in 1967 , where it is still stationed today.
In the fall of 1961, a smaller unit of the United States National Guard was stationed at Celle Air Base, which was kept in reserve here due to the tensions after the Berlin Wall was built for use in a possible new edition of the Berlin Airlift .
After the transport squadron was relocated, the Air Force no longer stationed any airborne units in Celle. Nevertheless, a mixed unit of army and air force continued to provide air traffic control services . In addition to the stationary air traffic control unit, there was also a mobile air traffic control unit in Celle, which was equipped with a mobile tower and could, for example, operate so-called motorway emergency landing sites.
Furthermore, from 1959 to 1966 a US air force unit equipped with mobile radar served at the air base . This unit managed cruise missiles of the type TM-61C ( MGM-1 Matador ) by connecting to the control unit via radio after they had been launched and thus directing the missile to the target. Since it was not absolutely necessary for the complete coverage of the airspace, especially to the east, the unit was dissolved again for reasons of cost.
From 1963 to 1981 there was a test squadron at the Army Airfield in Celle, which carried out tests with drones and newly introduced helicopter types such as the Bölkow Bo-105 in the version as an anti-tank helicopter.
The unit with the longest stationing time in Celle was Heeresfliegerstaffel 7, relocated in 1961 from the Rheine Army Airfield . It was upgraded to a battalion in 1968 and downgraded to a squadron after three years . In 1979 the name was changed to Army Aviation Squadron 1. The unit equipped with the Alouette II liaison and observation helicopter was disbanded in 1994.
On July 28, 1967, the facility was given the additional name "Immelmann-Kaserne" in memory of the German pilot Max Immelmann as part of a festive ceremony . The flying ace fell during the First World War on June 18, 1916.
At the beginning of the 1970s, the army aviation branch was massively increased in terms of personnel. In 1971, with the Army Aviation Regiment 10 , equipped with Bell UH-1 D, an association of regiment size was created in Celle for the first time . In 1979 a second regiment, the Army Aviation Regiment 16 , equipped with anti-tank helicopters , was set up.
Since the air base does not have space for two regiments, it was planned from the beginning to move one of the two to the Faßberg Army Airfield . The final decision in 1981 led, contrary to the initial intention, to relocate the 10th Army Aviation Regiment to Faßberg. Its regimental coat of arms still shows the stylized Celle Castle today .
After the end of the Cold War , in 1991 the ability to fly instruments in Celle as well as the emergency landing sites on federal highways were given up and air traffic control was reduced accordingly. The instrument landing system, the approach control point (radar) and the equipment that had been available up to that point for the rapid construction of a new airlift to Berlin were taken out of service. Several smaller units and offices were dissolved or relocated in the following years; the air force also withdrew completely from the air base.
The only remaining air force at the Celle site was the Army Aviation Regiment 16, equipped with Bölkow Bo-105 (PAH 1A1) anti-tank helicopters.
In 2002/2003, the Army Aviation Regiment 16 was dissolved as part of the restructuring of the Bundeswehr and the preparation for the introduction of the new helicopter types NH-90 and Eurocopter Tiger . Parts of the Army Aviation School moved into the airfield. At the same time, smaller, independent helicopter units were again set up in Celle.
With the start of training flight operations, Celle Air Base was again capable of instrument approach since 2003 and the Bell UH-1D helicopter type, which was relocated from Celle in 1981 - in addition to the Bölkow Bo-105, which was still in use - found its way back to the airfield.
With the switch to the new NH90 transport helicopter, the Army Aviation Troops did not need any further UH-1D pilots. On August 25, 2010, the training operation of the Army Aviation Training Center C in Wietzenbruch was discontinued on this model and the last seven UH-1D remaining at the location were transferred to Faßberg , where they belonged to the 10th transport helicopter regiment. Furthermore, all Bölkow Bo-105s of the Bundeswehr were brought together in Celle and used from there for training purposes and connecting flights.
After the decision to abandon the Bölkow Bo-105 as a flying weapon system, the training center C was renamed "International Helicopter Training Center TE 900 Celle Restflugbetrieb Bo-105" and took on the also disbanded independent units Army Aviation Liaison and Reconnaissance Squadron 100 and Army Aviation Maintenance Squadron 100. This construct, which was set up to process flight operations, will be terminated with effect from June 30, 2017. On December 13, 2016, the last flight with a formation of 18 helicopters of this type took place. This means that no airborne weapons systems are stationed at the Celle Army Airfield.
On July 1, 2016, the air mobility training and exercise center was set up in the barracks. This operates the airfield and supports practicing associations with mostly simulation-based and low real flown components in professionalization. Furthermore, the airfield with its capacity for transport aircraft is available, for example for the parachute jump service of the airborne brigade 1 .
Disaster relief
Soldiers of the Bundeswehr may only be deployed in Germany in the event of a declared defense or disaster, or for administrative assistance . Soldiers stationed at the Celle Army Air Base have so far been involved seven times in disaster relief within Germany.
During the storm surge in February 1962 , evacuation and supply flights started from Celle, mainly to the Hamburg area. The North Noratlas of Lufttransportgeschwader 63 and Alouette II of Army Aviation Squadron 7 were primarily used here.
During the fire in the Lüneburg Heath in August 1975, the 10th Army Aviation Regiment used the Bell UH-1D helicopter type with “Smokeys”, extinguishing water tanks hung under the helicopters, to extinguish fires . The ground-based personnel also supported the fire protection with the means available.
In the course of the snow catastrophe in northern Germany in 1978 , the North Air Traffic Control Company distinguished itself in particular with radar support for the rescue services during the catastrophic weather situation.
Individual soldiers and helicopters of Army Aviation Regiment 16 were dispatched to the disaster areas primarily to secure the dikes and for connection and surveillance flights during the flood of the Oder in 1997 . Regular operations at the site continued in parallel.
In the ICE accident in Eschede on June 3, 1998, the Celle Army Airfield was the responsible body for coordinating the massive rescue and recovery operations of the Bundeswehr on land and in the air. Two of the wagons involved in the accident as well as the associated parts of the railway line and all relevant bogies were stored at the air base in the then empty hangar V until the investigation into the course of the accident was completed. The entire area of the Federal Republic of Germany is divided into areas of responsibility of the Bundeswehr in the event of a disaster. In localized cases, the respective oldest location is the contact person for civil authorities and organizations. However, if required, support from other areas can be requested. For example, Bell UH-1Ds from the Faßberg Army Air Base were mainly used to transport the seriously injured, although its area of responsibility only begins a little north of the accident site.
To support the assistance of the Bundeswehr during the Elbe floods in 2002 and 2006 , soldiers and material from Celle were again deployed to provide support. As with the Oder flood before, service operations at the site continued.
Others
In the period from September 2015 to March 2016, the sports hall and an adjacent building in the Immelmann barracks were used as emergency accommodation for refugees. For this purpose, a part of the barracks was provisionally cut out and an interim access created in the direction of Marienwerder Allee. After a few days, the German Red Cross took over the operation of the emergency shelter from the Bundeswehr. The precautions were completely dismantled after the end of use.
Airfield features
The Army Airfield Celle is a controlled military airfield , at which visual and instrument flight are permitted.
The majority of the buildings still in use today were built before 1940. Only a few significant new buildings were built after the takeover of the air base by German army pilots, for example the approach control building ( tower with approach ) and additional accommodation in the northern barracks area. The most striking changes to the infrastructure were the expansion of the airfield to the west in connection with an extension of the runway to the Berlin Airlift in 1948 and again at the end of the 1960s, and in 1994 the relocation of the Fuhse Canal east of the barracks. This originally led directly along the airfield through the barracks.
Several buildings of the airfield had to be demolished over the years due to dilapidation or for reasons of environmental protection , including the so-called "Berlin kitchen" (kitchen and dining room from the time of the Berlin Airlift), the air base cinema, the swimming pool and a tank system . Others have been and are gradually being renovated and rebuilt - sometimes several times. Some of them have been completely or partially changed in their function. The former riding arena is now used as a sports hall.
For cost reasons, the German Armed Forces approved the closure of the siding last served by the East Hanoverian Railways in 2005 . The supply of kerosene has since been ensured by tankers . Just one year later, the dismantling of the tracks from the Celle train station to Wietzenbruch, the last remnant of the former Allertalbahn, began .
organization
The entire facility is a military security area , completely enclosed by a barracks fence and therefore not accessible to the public. Organizationally, there is an internal separation between the barracks and flight operations.
In principle, all members of the Bundeswehr and allied armed forces are authorized to enter the barracks area . The administration, care, sports and medical facilities as well as the accommodation are located in this part . There is also an officers' quarters at the site .
The flight operations area is again specially fenced and includes the airfield, the hangars and parking areas for aircraft as well as the facilities for operating the airfield, such as radar systems , tower and tank farm. Access to the flight operations area - similar to a civil airport - is generally only permitted to people who have their place of work in this area or who have to enter the airfield as an aircraft crew or passenger .
Landing areas
The dimensions of the runway with a length of 1831 meters and a width of 45 meters with an additional 303 meters roll-over distance in the east (total asphalt and usable length 2134 meters) basically allow take-offs and landings of almost all common aircraft. As the largest aircraft to date, a Lockheed C-5 Galaxy landed in Celle in 1972 to carry out a material transport.
In line with its predominant use as a training and training airfield by the German armed forces, including for helicopter pilots , various grass landing areas are available parallel to the paved runway. Precision landings, autorotations and other helicopter emergency procedures can be practiced in these strips of grass, which are at least 50 meters wide and between 50 and 500 meters long .
In order to keep the noise pollution as low as possible for the city that has grown close to the airfield over decades and to be able to better utilize the capacity overall, a helicopter training and dropping area is also operated in Scheuen, northeast of the city of Celle. Landing exercises with helicopters and dropping exercises by airborne troops from helicopters and transport aircraft can also be carried out there , somewhat away from the built-up area, on a site training area.
The airfield does not have hook catching systems or other safety devices for jet-powered aircraft and is therefore only approached by fighter planes in exceptional cases.
Infrastructure
A total of five hangars are available for parking, maintaining and repairing aircraft, one of which is designed as a shipyard. Each of the halls can accommodate up to 24 helicopters, depending on the type. The outdoor parking areas in front of the hangars offer space for around 40 aircraft of various sizes. The north, south-west and south-east spider offer additional stand areas. These storage areas are loosely arranged in the shape of a spider and are partly covered by vegetation, as was common during the Cold War . Most of these are no longer used for flying purposes, but are available to a limited extent for exercises by non-local units.
Kerosene ( F-34 ), with which almost all military and most civil aircraft fly, is kept ready. Fuels such as AvGas , MoGas and diesel fuel , which are mainly used for sports aircraft, are not available. Refueling takes place via tank vehicles. The underground tank system that used to be also operated now only serves as a kerosene store.
airspace
The airport is surrounded by a surveillance zone of airspace class "D", but which is only active when the opening of the airfield. The airspace in the area of responsibility of the approach control point is classified as "E" with a lower limit of 1000 feet .
The airfield has an omnidirectional radio beacon ( frequency : 311 kHz , identification: CEL). This is used for the approach and departure procedures of the Celle army airfield, but also by the civilian German air traffic control as an arrival and departure aid for the airports Hannover-Langenhagen and Braunschweig-Wolfsburg and in radio navigation as a waypoint for two airways . Furthermore, the field is equipped with a precision approach radar ( PAR-80 ) and an airport all-round radar. The ASR-910 , which was used until the end of 2017, is currently being upgraded by the successor system ASR-S.
services
A flight advice service , a branch of the geographic information service of the Bundeswehr (weather advice center) and its own fire station are stationed at the airfield. Thus, all the necessary services for national and international air traffic are kept available. The Celle Army Airfield is the “Airport of Entry” ( customs airport ) and can therefore be approached directly from non-European countries.
use
As a military airfield, the air base is generally available during its opening hours for all aircraft of the Bundeswehr, the police and the federal police , as well as the NATO member states. For reasons of noise protection for the civilian population as well as in order not to unnecessarily disturb one's own training flight operations, this is restricted by a so-called " PPR " regulation; This means that a permit to approach Celle must be obtained before the start of the flight.
Take-offs and landings of civil aircraft require a prior written request and approval or must be covered by a joint use contract. Only air emergencies are excluded.
In addition to the units that use the airfield for flying purposes or support flight operations, the Army Airfield Celle houses units and offices that only use the military infrastructure. These users are independent of the use of the property as an air base. For organizational, historical or capacity reasons you are in the Immelmann barracks.
The mandate and tasks of all units stationed at Celle Army Air Base are derived from the requirements of the 2006 White Paper . In addition to individual mandates and tasks, all units stationed at Celle Air Base have in common that they are available at all times as part of official and disaster aid to protect and rescue the population of Germany and support civil authorities and agencies, such as the police.
Units with an aeronautical mission
There are no units with their own aircraft stationed at the Celle Army Airfield.
Units with flight support mission
Air mobility training and exercise center
The Air Mobility Training and Exercise Center operates the Celle Army Airfield and provides training units with the infrastructural options for simulator-based as well as real-life exercises with aeronautical components.
Geographic information advice center Celle
The tasks of the geographic information advice center include the aviation weather service in general for the regional area as well as for emergency flights for the entire flight route - worldwide if required.
Weather observations are carried out around the clock , even when the airfield itself is closed. The data are fed into a global telecommunications system for weather data and the resulting image is evaluated on site.
When regional storms develop , the advice center issues warnings and information , especially to the aircraft crews.
Celle Army Airfield Fire Brigade
The army airfield fire brigade ensures fire protection and technical assistance at the air base. It is on duty around the clock, even when the airfield itself is closed. In the event of an air accident or an air emergency , she is responsible for the initial measures both on the airfield and in the vicinity.
In addition, the unit ensures fire protection on the Scheuen helicopter training area if necessary.
Sanitary supply center Celle
In order to ensure the troop medical care of the soldiers free of charge, a medical supply center is housed on the airfield as a branch of the Munster medical team with several general practitioners , specialists and dentists . This component is supported by specially trained flight doctors who are provided by the flight support units.
In the event of incidents in air traffic during regular working hours, the aviation doctors, together with the fire brigade, provide first aid to the injured.
Location service
Due to the separation between military mandate and civil defense administration prescribed in the Basic Law , the Bundeswehr maintains branch offices of civil service centers on the premises of the air base, the so-called location service. These ensure the technical operation of the systems as well as the maintenance and management of the site, including all buildings and facilities, and make them available to military users.
The Bundeswehr Service Center in Hanover is responsible for the Celle location .
Military chaplaincy
For the implementation of the military chaplaincy on the air base there is a chapel ecumenically used by the Protestant and Catholic local pastor on the premises, in which monthly church services are carried out. The permanent seat of the competent military chaplains is Hanover . You are part of the “ psychosocial network of help”. The network consists of the aviation doctors, the site pastors and other social institutions of the Bundeswehr. It looks after soldiers seeking help with private as well as official problems and looks after those affected, their relatives and deployed rescue workers in the event of an aircraft accident or incident.
There are no institutions of other religious communities .
Units not related to aviation
Sergeant / Sergeant Candidate Battalion 2
The Feldwebel- / NCO candidate Battalion 2 leads the recruits training and career courses for future sergeants and sergeant by the army.
The oldest in Celle
The site elder Celle represents the army airfield Celle and other military properties around Celle to the outside world, especially towards the city and the district of Celle and the local press . He is the point of contact for civil services and authorities, particularly when it comes to coordinating official and disaster aid by the Bundeswehr. The site elder exercises supervision over all units of the site and regulates matters of common concern, for example the usage times for the Scheuen site training area and the site shooting range .
Sergeant for reservist matters
This small service point is the link to the Bundeswehr reservists living in the districts of Celle and Heidekreis . The area of responsibility includes training and information events for former soldiers as well as organizational support for reserve exercises . The sergeant for reservist matters works closely with the Association of Reservists of the German Armed Forces (VdRBw).
The sergeant for reservist matters is subordinate to the Lower Saxony state command .
Association of reservists in the German Federal Armed Forces
The Association of Reservists of the German Armed Forces is a state-sponsored association that undertakes reservist work on behalf of and with financial support from the German Bundestag .
The district office of Celle is responsible for looking after the members in the district of Celle in cooperation with the sergeant for reservist matters. It organizes regular events and informs its members through a semi-annual circular.
Civil use
Until the 1980s, it was mainly members of the European aristocratic families , especially the English, and other public figures who took advantage of the opportunity to land on the military airfields that were inaccessible to journalists and photographers. The most famous guests at Celle Air Base were the Dutch Princess Beatrix in 1965, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (" Queen Mum ") in 1965 and 1984, Elizabeth II (Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) in 1967, 1984 and 2015 and Prince Charles with Diana 1987.
Furthermore, the Celle Army Airfield was occasionally used to hold troop visits by British nobles to the British armed forces stationed in the region , as well as to maintain the traditional connections between the House of Windsor and the ducal town of Celle , which had existed since Sophie Dorothea von Braunschweig-Lüneburg . However, with the increasing dissolution or relocation of British associations from Germany, this importance declined since the 1990s.
An attempt by Celle's politicians to expand the airfield for general civilian use, which was launched in the early 1990s, was not pursued any further because of the likely lack of profitability - in particular due to the proximity to Hannover-Langenhagen Airport. A renewed investigation ten years later failed due to the resistance of the Bundeswehr against such joint use.
At major local events, such as the Celle Trialog , or on official occasions in the region, the Celle Army Airfield is used by high-ranking, predominantly national, military and politicians , occasionally and with prior individual approval from other personalities for landings and takeoffs.
Importance and Development
The Army Airfield Celle appears only very rarely outside of the internal media of the German Army Aviation. Unlike Ramstein Air Base , for example , it is not a national term for a military airfield. Civil air traffic does not take place at the air base.
Economical meaning
The Celle Army Airfield represents a strong economic factor for the structurally weak region of Celle . Every year around 5 million euros are spent on construction work and maintenance and around 2.5 million euros on management and operation (as of 2008). Over 800 soldiers , civil servants and civilian workers are employed in the barracks .
Military importance
Almost every younger helicopter pilot in the Bundeswehr had completed at least part of his training in Celle by 2016.
Of the military airfield Celle associated air space situated in the aviation a composite of military airfield Biickeburg, Wunstorf , Celle and Faßberg (from southwest to northeast) is. This allows military air traffic from and to each other under strictly military control.
The proximity to the military training areas in Bergen and Munster makes Celle the starting point and base point for national and international exercises with the participation of aircraft.
Future development
For reasons of cost and to protect the population from noise, the development is moving more and more towards training in the simulator. Only the absolutely necessary training content, which cannot or may not be flown simulated, is taught in real flight operations. By the end of 2012, the German Armed Forces want to convert the Army Aviation Associations to the newly acquired NH-90 and Tiger models. Training on the Bell UH-1D was completely discontinued in September 2010, and the remaining machines were handed over to the Faßberg Army Airfield, where they continued to be flown until the NH-90 was introduced. The Bölkow Bo-105 was completely taken out of service by the German Armed Forces at the end of 2016.
In the future, exercise and training should increasingly be partially or fully simulated . For this purpose, simulation facilities are being created by the Air Mobility Training and Exercise Center at the Celle Air Base , in which infantry and aviation cooperation can be represented. Furthermore, it should be possible that the real parts to be carried out are included in the simulation. This is intended to ensure that a larger number of soldiers can train and practice more regularly with lower costs and effort. The airfield is used as the basis for the flying parts, but a significant proportion of the flying projects are simulated and therefore imperceptible to the surrounding resident population.
criticism
As with many other military airfields, the surrounding villages at the Army Airfield in Celle have grown ever closer to the air base that was built in 1933, apart from larger residential developments and under different circumstances. This development led to a conflict between the aviation users of the site and the residents affected by the aircraft noise.
Development of aircraft noise criticism
The first aircraft noise complaints have been reported since the airfield was taken over by German army aviation. The resistance from the population experienced a temporary high point when, in the 1960s, considerations became known to equip the air base with a second runway running in a northwest-southeast direction and to station a fighter squadron . Residents, primarily from Wietzenbruch, founded the “Protection Association against Dangers and Noise from Aircraft Wietzenbruch e. V. “The association submitted a petition to the German Bundestag with the aim of preventing expansion and deployment. Above all, reference was made to the expected increase in aircraft noise. The planning had meanwhile been given up. After the Federal Ministry of Defense confirmed that only helicopters would be stationed in Celle in the future, the community dissolved again.
The aircraft noise continued to be present in the local media over the following years.
For many years after German reunification , only the Army Aviation Regiment 16 with Bölkow Bo-105 remained stationed in Celle as the only flying unit. The dissolution of this regiment in 2003, the establishment of the training center for helicopter pilots and the associated significant increase in flight movements after more than ten years of relatively quiet flight operations, moved the airfield further into the focus of critical considerations. The renewed stationing of the Bell UH-1D helicopter from spring 2005 to summer 2010 provoked additional protests from the surrounding population, as the rotor noise of this rotary-wing aircraft ( popularly also known as the “ carpet knocker ”) was perceived as particularly loud compared to the Bölkow Bo-105 becomes. In particular, residents who had built or bought property in the "quiet" years were surprised by the new, unexpected intensity of air traffic.
Todays situation
In the neighboring districts of Wietzenbruch directly to the north and Heese to the northeast of the airfield as well as Westercelle and Altencelle in the approach and departure sector of runway 26, new construction areas have been designated since the late 1980s. At the same time, laws to protect the population from aircraft noise are increasingly being passed.
Builders and prospective buyers are advised of the existence of the nearby military airfield via corresponding information before the purchase and in the land registers , but they often underestimate the actual noise emissions of an active air base. In particular when night flight training takes place, the aircraft noise is perceived as very annoying. The noise caused by the airfield is regularly discussed in council meetings of the city of Celle and the surrounding communities. The Lower Saxony state parliament dealt at its meeting of 28 August 2009 due to a small request from the Group of the Greens also with aircraft noise at the location Celle.
On the part of the opponents of the airfield, the current noise protection laws, the right to health as well as the actual and alleged dangers of flight operations (e.g. possible aircraft crashes in built-up areas) are cited. Proponents argue that the airfield has been in operation since 1934 and that the current opponents, knowing of its existence and taking with them price reductions when buying land or houses, as well as a lower property tax, moved voluntarily to the areas affected by aircraft noise. They also cite the economic strength of the air base and the people who work there. The critics suspect, however, that because of the training company, only a few employees live with their relatives in and around Celle. Statistical data on commuters and resident population are not available, and official aircraft noise measurements have not yet been carried out.
Reaction of the Bundeswehr
The units on site try to counter the criticism with self-restraint. Thus, traffic patterns flown exclusively in the south over largely uninhabited area, practice approaches on Westercelle, as far as possible, avoid the lunch held mostly flight free prohibited densely populated areas in the approach and departure procedures for the place of overflight.
Although this relieves large parts of the surrounding towns, it leads to a channeling of air traffic over the still permissible routes and is at the expense of the residents on these adapted flight routes.
