The airfield south-west of Perleberg was expanded from 1934 as an air base with a flying school. After the Second World War the site was taken over by Soviet forces: aviation units were based here until 1949, then the grounds passed to ground units, and from 1952 the field was kept as a reserve airfield; the housing area was enlarged in the late 1950s, in 1970–1971 and in 1988–1989. According to the town chronicle, the last units left the Perleberg garrison in 1992. The site passed into federal ownership, the dilapidated buildings were demolished in the 2000s and in 2020–2021; the flying field has been used by glider pilots since 1997.

Аэродром к юго-западу от Перлеберга с 1934 года расширяли как авиабазу с лётной школой. После Второй мировой войны площадку заняли советские войска: до 1949 года здесь базировалась авиация, затем территорию передали сухопутным частям, а с 1952 года лётное поле числилось запасным аэродромом; жилой городок расширяли в конце 1950-х, в 1970–1971 и в 1988–1989 годах. По хронике города, последние части покинули гарнизон Перлеберг в 1992 году. Территория перешла в федеральную собственность, обветшавшие здания сносили в 2000-х и в 2020–2021 годах; лётное поле с 1997 года используют планеристы.
