The Brandis-Waldpolenz military airfield east of Leipzig passed to Soviet forces in 1945 after a brief American presence and was used as a military airfield. The last flights by Soviet aircraft took place in April 1992, and the last servicemen left on 30 July 1992. In 2007–2008 the Waldpolenz solar park was built on the airfield.
Военный аэродром Брандис-Вальдполенц к востоку от Лейпцига в 1945 году после краткого пребывания американских частей перешёл к советским войскам и использовался как военный аэродром. Последние полёты советских самолётов состоялись в апреле 1992 года, 30 июля 1992 года аэродром покинули последние военнослужащие. В 2007–2008 годах на лётном поле построена солнечная электростанция «Вальдполенц».
