Leipzig-Mockau Airport, Cultural heritage airport site in Leipzig, Germany
Leipzig-Mockau Airport occupies a position at the northern edge of Leipzig, with its terminal building and control tower standing at 430 feet above sea level.
The airport commenced operations on June 22, 1913, and served as Leipzig's main air transportation hub until its gradual replacement by Halle/Leipzig Airport from 1926.
The facility transformed from an active airport into an industrial and exhibition area after 1991, preserving its terminal building as a testament to German aviation history.
The former airport grounds connect to Autobahn A14 and local transportation networks, providing direct access to Leipzig's northern commercial district.
The airport contained two Non-Directional Beacons, designated as 'LG' and 'L', which guided aircraft approaches during the 1960s using specific radio navigation patterns.
