Butzweilerhof, Historic airport complex in Ossendorf, Germany.
The main building features a reception hall with symmetrical window arrangements, white plastered walls, and a distinctive basalt eagle relief at its entrance.
Built in 1912 as an imperial flying station and flight school, the airport became Germany's second most important aviation hub after Berlin-Tempelhof in the 1930s.
The architectural ensemble represents New Objectivity principles, combining modernist design with functional elements through its tower, hangars, and administrative spaces.
The airport ceased civilian operations in 1957 when the new Cologne-Bonn Airport opened, and now houses business establishments in its restored historic structures.
The facility remains one of only two complete 1930s airport complexes in Germany, featuring original concrete runways and preserved employee residential buildings.
