About :
We explore an abandoned air base together. Here are a few facts: Schönwalde airfield is a former military airfield east of the municipality of Schönwalde-Glien and southwest of Hennigsdorf near Berlin in the Havelland district. In 1935, the Reich Air Ministry bought large pieces of land in the area of the future airfield as part of secret plans for the rearmament of Germany and began to build wooden barracks in the northern part of the site to house the workers. In several construction phases, a complete air base with a concrete and illuminated runway, radio beacon and several aircraft hangars was built by 1939. The airfield also had a rail connection to the Bötzow railway and barracks buildings. A kitchen, a casino and an outdoor swimming pool were also built to provide supplies. In 1935, the Hennigsdorf Aviation, Training and Education Center (FÜS) moved from the nearby AEG factory airfield Nieder Neuendorf to the Schönwalde airfield, which was then still called the "Hennigsdorf Sports Airfield". At the end of 1936, the FÜS was converted into the Pilots' School (FFS) A/B 11, where pilots were trained for the German Air Force until 1943. In 1943, Schönwalde became the location of the supplementary and transport aviation group of the XIV Air Corps. The Schönwalde airfield, which had already been evacuated, was captured by Soviet troops of the 1st Belorussian Front on April 24, 1945 without any significant resistance. The location of the airfield in the Allied control zone and in the middle of the air corridor to Berlin, which would have required the notification of every flight movement to the Allied air traffic control center, prevented the intensive continued use of the Schönwalde site as an airfield, as did the fact that the location of the site did not allow an extension of the runway, which would have been necessary for use by the now increasingly common jet-powered aircraft. The airfield was still used as such until the mid-1950s. The first Soviet jet aircraft were stationed here and explored by the Gehlen Organization. A helicopter squadron was stationed here until 1965. After 1965, the site was used as a barracks by the 843rd Guards Artillery Regiment of the 25th Guards Tank Division of the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany. The CIS forces stationed in Schönwalde returned the site to German administration in 1992.
