The small Brand airfield, built in 1938, passed to the Soviet air force in 1950; a 2,500-metre concrete runway was built in 1950–1951. Front-line aviation units were based here until the early 1990s, and in 1992 the airfield was handed over to the German federal property administration. In 1998 the site was bought by CargoLifter, which built an airship hangar; since December 2004 the hangar has housed the Tropical Islands resort.
Небольшой аэродром Бранд, построенный в 1938 году, в 1950 году перешёл к советской авиации; в 1950–1951 годах здесь построили бетонную взлётную полосу длиной 2500 метров. До начала 1990-х годов на аэродроме базировались части фронтовой авиации, в 1992 году он был передан германскому федеральному ведомству имущества. В 1998 году участок купила компания CargoLifter, построившая здесь ангар для дирижаблей; с декабря 2004 года в ангаре работает тропический парк Tropical Islands.
