Flugplatz Nellingen, Former military airfield in Ostfildern, Germany.
The airfield covered an extensive area with five aircraft hangars and grass runways situated east of Stuttgart near residential communities.
Construction began in 1932 on former royal horse breeding grounds, and by 1938 the site transformed from a planned civilian airport into a military airbase.
The facility maintained connections between military and civilian life, with soldiers producing toys for frontline troops' children during Christmas 1941.
At its peak in 1977, the Nellingen Barracks contained facilities and accommodations for 5,000 American military personnel stationed in Germany.
The Graf Zeppelin Research Institute used the northern section of the airbase for developing bomb construction and space flight technologies.
