A good friend -Thomas Kupfer- and I got our PPLs here back in 1976!
Our instructor was Peter Fried, the tower was run Herr Walch, and his daughters worked at the airport.
When (I forgot his 1st name) Guillemot took off on a Cessna C320 out of that miniscule airfield (he mentions Biarritz, FR as his destination), it was like being in heaven … my heaven.
It was a tight operation, and to this day I love going there.
To the Walch family: thank you for leaving me with such wonderful memories …. (and thank you to my parents who made this possible for their son … I was very lucky).
The shortest asphalt runway with 408m in germany and a 50ft obstacle when you takeoff to the west. If you can make it here, you can do it everywhere :-)
