Segelfluggelände Düsseldorf-Wolfsaap, Gliding airfield in Düsseldorf, Germany.
The airfield spans across 300 meters in length and 60 meters in width, situated between Aaper Forest and the Knittkuhl district at 113 meters above sea level.
Established in 1956, the airfield emerged when the Düsseldorf-Lohausen location closed, prompting relocation to the military training grounds near Aaper Forest.
The Düsseldorfer Aero-Klub, operating since 1927, maintains six aircraft and conducts regular training sessions for aspiring glider pilots aged 14 to 70.
The facility employs an ESW-2B electric dual-drum winch system for launches, replacing the previous TOST diesel winch to enhance operational efficiency.
Five volunteer flight instructors guide students through a two-year training program, teaching both practical flying techniques and technical aviation knowledge.
