Cottbus Air Base, Military air base in Cottbus, Germany
The air base covers a large area northwest of Cottbus, featuring a 2,360-meter concrete runway and multiple military operations buildings.
During World War II, the Luftwaffe operated from this base, which later served the National People's Army throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
The aerospace museum within the former air base preserves regional aviation artifacts and documents the transformation of military installations in Brandenburg.
After its closure in 2004, the concrete runway maintains emergency cargo flight capabilities while supporting a substantial solar power installation.
The facility combines its original military infrastructure with modern solar panels, generating renewable energy while maintaining emergency aviation functions.
