Flugplatz Staaken, Cultural heritage monument and former aerodrome in Spandau, Germany
The former airfield complex contains multiple runways and six aircraft hangars spread across a substantial area in western Berlin's suburbs.
Established in 1913, the facility served as a manufacturing site for Zeppelin airships during World War I, producing twelve dirigibles for military operations.
The airfield became a center for aviation innovation in the 1920s, hosting international flights and contributing to Germany's early commercial air transport development.
The facility operated at 149 feet elevation with sandy soil characteristics that provided natural drainage, making it suitable for year-round aircraft operations.
In 1938, the airfield launched the first land-based transatlantic flight, which reached New York's Floyd Bennett Field in 24 hours and 56 minutes.
