As of 2023, the airport is no longer in use. Factories of the German company Viessmann are being constructed on the former plot of land.
Before World War II, the airport operated as a hub for Zeppelins. After the war, it was taken over by the Soviet Armed Forces (its Northern Group of Forces) and used for military purposes until the early 1990s.
There is a railroad line near the terminal that can be used for passenger service.
