Holzdorf Air Base (German: Fliegerhorst Holzdorf) is a military airfield operated by the German Air Force (Luftwaffe). It is located 1.8NM east of Holzdorf, a subdivision of the municipality of Jessen in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt. It is also known as Schönewalde/Holzdorf Air Base, as most of the base is situated east of the Saxony-Anhalt/Brandenburg border, in the city of Schönewalde.[3] The air base is home to the air forces's Helicopter Wing 64.
In 1968 the site was selected by the Air Forces of the National People's Army for a new airbase. The airbase was completed in 1974 and expanded into an operational airfield by 1980. The handover to the NVA's Jagdfliegergeschwader 1 took place at the beginning of November 1982, when it was relocated from Cottbus-Nord Airport to Holzdorf.
The airport is at an elevation of 265feet above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 09/27 with a concrete/asphalt surface measuring 2419mx30mm (7,936feetx100feetm).
Support Squadron 1 of the German Army Aviation Corps was formerly located at Holzdorf. It was dissolved in 2013 as part of the reorganization/reduction of the Bundeswehr announced in October 2011.
