Großenhain airfield, one of the oldest in Germany (in use since 1913), was taken over by Soviet forces in May 1945 and then expanded with a longer runway. From 1951 to 1993 it housed the headquarters of the 105th Aviation Division. The last combat aircraft left in March 1993 and the last transports in August; since 1993 the airfield has been in civil use.
Аэродром Гросенхайн, один из старейших в Германии (действует с 1913 года), в мае 1945 года заняли советские войска и затем расширили его, удлинив взлётную полосу. В 1951–1993 годах здесь размещался штаб 105-й авиационной дивизии. Последние боевые самолёты улетели в марте 1993 года, транспортные — в августе; с 1993 года аэродром используется как гражданский.
