The airfield was built from autumn 1952 (main works in 1953–1954) and was used by the Soviet Air Forces from 1955 to 1994; during that period it was the largest military airfield in East Germany. A barracks compound and a residential zone were built from scratch together with the airfield. After the troops left in 1994 the site passed to civilian use and its aerodrome status was withdrawn in 2012.
Аэродром строился с осени 1952 года (основные работы — 1953–1954 годы) и с 1955 по 1994 год использовался советскими военно-воздушными силами; в этот период он был крупнейшим военным аэродромом на территории ГДР. Одновременно с лётным полем были заново построены казарменный городок и жилая зона. После вывода войск в 1994 году территория перешла в гражданское использование, статус аэродрома снят в 2012 году.
