Altenburg-Nobitz airfield, more than a century old and rebuilt in 1933, was taken over by the Red Army on 1 July 1945; Soviet forces remained here until 1992. Five of the seven hangars were dismantled and taken to the USSR. In June 1992 the military airfield was handed over for civil use; an aviation museum has operated beside it since 2005.
