Schleißheim airfield, Aviation museum and airfield in Oberschleißheim, Germany
The Schleißheim airfield extends across a large area north of Munich, featuring three aircraft hangars and specialized maintenance facilities for wooden and metal aircraft.
Established in 1912 for the Royal Bavarian Air Force, the airfield served various military purposes throughout both World Wars and continued operations under US control until the 1970s.
The Flugwerft Schleißheim museum displays over 70 aviation artifacts, including historic gliders, modern aircraft, flying boats, and rockets that highlight German aerospace advancement.
The facility maintains storage capacity for 63,000 liters of aviation fuel and provides dedicated spaces for six air sports clubs that regularly conduct flight operations.
This location represents Germany's oldest continuously operating airfield and now functions as both a Federal Police helicopter base and a center for civilian aviation activities.
