Landsberg-Lech Air Base, Military air base in Penzing, Germany
The concrete runways of Landsberg-Lech Air Base extend for 2066 meters at an elevation of 623 meters above sea level in Bavaria.
The German Air Force established Landsberg-Lech Air Base in 1935, initially operating Dornier Do 17E and 17M bombers through Combat Wing 255.
The military installation features traditional German fliegerhorst architecture and crew buildings that reflect mid-20th century Bavarian construction methods.
The base maintained active flight operations until December 2017, when the final Notice to Airmen announced its closure for aviation purposes.
French forced laborers were held at a concentration camp within the air base during World War II, as documented in records from 1995.
