Holzdorf Air Base, airport in Germany
Holzdorf Air Base is a military airfield located near Jessen and Schönewalde in eastern Germany. The facility includes runways, hangars, and support buildings arranged across a large area dedicated to flight operations.
The air base was established during World War II as a military airfield. It saw use by multiple air forces after 1945, including Soviet forces during the Cold War, before becoming part of German military infrastructure.
This is a military facility with restricted access, so the public cannot enter the grounds. Visitors can view the perimeter and surrounding landscape from outside the security barriers.
The base was used by Soviet pilots for decades after the war and served as a key strategic point during Germany's division. Today it stands as a remnant of Cold War geography, reflecting how military installations shaped the landscape of this region.
