Landsberg-Lech Air Base, Military air base in Penzing, Germany
Landsberg-Lech Air Base is a former military airfield near Landsberg am Lech in Bavaria with concrete runways and structures from the aviation era. The site includes flight surfaces, hangars, and administrative buildings positioned on elevated terrain.
The site was founded in 1935 as a Luftwaffe air base and initially housed bomber squadrons. During the war it served different aviation units, and after 1945 it was taken over by the Allies.
The installation displays typical German air base architecture with crew buildings that reflect mid-20th century construction styles. This building approach was standard for military airfields across the region at that time.
The site is not open to general public access today since it remains a restricted military area. Those interested in visiting should inquire in advance about current access conditions and any guided tour availability.
During World War II, a concentration camp was located on the grounds holding French forced laborers. This dark chapter of the site's history was only documented decades after the war ended.
