Wunstorf Air Base, Military air base in Wunstorf, Germany.
Wunstorf Air Base is a German military airfield with runways, maintenance facilities, and training areas for flight operations. The installation hosts a fleet of large Airbus A400M transport aircraft that require extensive ground support and pilot training.
The airfield began operations in 1936 and played a role in German military aviation during World War II. After 1945, British forces took control and later converted it into a post-war German Air Force base.
The installation works with nearby communities through programs that show how the German Air Force operates today. Visitors can see personnel at work with large transport aircraft during organized events.
The base is located north of Wunstorf and is primarily accessible through organized visits by permission. Scheduled tours and events provide the best opportunity to see aircraft and operations up close.
From 1964 to 1998, a racing circuit on the grounds used the airfield infrastructure for motorsport competitions. National racing series ran on this track before motorsport activities were phased out.
