Flugplatz Unterschlauersbach, Military airfield structure near Großhabersdorf, Germany
Flugplatz Unterschlauersbach is a former airfield located between Unterschlauersbach and Großhabersdorf, featuring a grass landing strip that measures 940 meters long and 30 meters wide. The site preserves remains of buildings, barracks, and other military structures from its time in operation.
The German Air Force built this airfield in 1934 initially as a pilot training facility. During World War II, the site was converted to an operational base supporting military operations.
The site was known by the code name 'Seidenschal' and served as a base where military personnel lived and worked during its operational years. The layout of buildings and facilities shows how the base was organized to support daily life and operations.
The site sits about 23 kilometers west of Nuremberg at an elevation between 360 and 370 meters above sea level. Visitors should know that this is an open outdoor area, and access can vary depending on weather and ground conditions.
The former fire-fighting pond of the airfield was converted into a natural swimming pool that locals in Großhabersdorf now enjoy. This transformation shows how military remains have found new purposes in the community's daily life.
