History

The aerodrome's history started on October 7, 1955, when the first glider took off. In the communist DDR era, it became an important centre of activity for the Gesellschaft für Sport und Technik (GST). Since 1990, it has been operated by the soaring club AeroteamKLIX Segelflugclub.

Operations

Good thermal conditions and little obstructed airspace made the airfield a popular destination for recreational fliers. It also allows excursions to the Leewellen area of the Zittauer mountains, and the mountains of Altvatergebirge and Riesengebirge.
