Venlo-Herongen Air Base, Military air base at German-Dutch border, Netherlands and Germany.
The complex spans across Dutch and German territories with two runways measuring 1450 and 1200 meters in length, including support infrastructure and hangars.
The German Luftwaffe established the air base in October 1940, which operated until September 1944 when Royal Air Force conducted a major bombing raid.
The three-story structures at Venlo-Herongen Air Base demonstrate the principles of Bauhaus architecture, incorporating functional design elements for military purposes.
An extensive road network of 48 kilometers connects different sections of the base, linking operational facilities, shelters, and recreational areas.
The base maintains different preservation states: Dutch sections were cleared after the war, while German sections remain in their post-war condition.
