History

Today's Straubing Airfield was founded at the beginning of the 1960s by several flight enthusiasts from Straubing. At first, only gliding operations with winch towing took place. In 1972, Straubing-Wallmühle Airfield was founded as a limited liability company by the two shareholders, the city of Straubing and the district of Straubing-Bogen. Since that time, the airport has been a public transport company (Verkehrslandeplatz) with a daily duty to operate at binding opening times.
