Jüterbog airfield, Ultralight airfield in Niedergörsdorf, Germany.
Jüterbog airfield is an ultralight flying site in Niedergörsdorf, Brandenburg, with several runways available for different types of aircraft. One runway has a concrete surface while the others are grass, giving pilots a choice depending on their aircraft.
The site was established in 1916 as a glider training school and served military purposes under the Luftwaffe during the Second World War. After 1945 it came under Soviet control before eventually being handed over for civilian use following German reunification.
The airfield sits in the open landscape of Brandenburg and is used today by sport and hobby pilots who fly here on a regular basis. On good weekends, pilots gather on the grounds to share tips and fly together.
Pilots planning to use the grass runways should check conditions in advance, as rain or dry spells can make them harder to use. The concrete runway is generally more dependable in changing weather and can serve as a backup option.
After Soviet troops left, parts of the infrastructure they built over decades were left standing on the site. Visitors who look around carefully can still spot traces of that period in some of the older structures on the grounds.
