Product Description:
As one of the largest regional airfields in Germany, Schoenhagen Airfield is increasingly developing into an important relief airport for Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER/EDDB). With approximately 45,000 aircraft movements per year, nearly 300 jobs, and 41 resident companies, Schoenhagen ranks among the most significant economic hubs in the Berlin-Brandenburg region.
Nestled within the picturesque forests, heathlands, and lakes of the Nuthe-Nieplitz Nature Park, the airfield offers not only ideal flying conditions but also a uniquely attractive environment. This combination makes Schoenhagen a sought-after location for renowned flight schools, aviation clubs, and hospitality businesses. Internationally recognized companies such as Cirrus Aircraft and Aquila Aviation utilize the spacious hangars for maintenance, development, and operational activities involving modern aircraft.
However, Schoenhagen is far more than just a regional airfield. It also serves as an innovative research and development platform for the aviation technologies of tomorrow. Projects such as ITEAL (Innovative Fuels for Low-Emission Aviation) and ALADIN (Advanced Low Altitude Data Information System) highlight the airfield’s role as a forward-thinking hub for sustainable and data-driven aviation solutions.
The Schoenhagen Airfield scenery sets new standards in terms of detail and immersion. Numerous animations and carefully crafted elements invite exploration. The package additionally includes five complex features: the highly detailed EDAZ airfield, Groß Kreutz heliport, the Luckenwalde hospital helipad, an animated helicopter at BER, and the iconic Weltballon at Potsdamer Platz.
What truly stands out is the dynamic nature of the scenery. Depending on the time of day, weekday, and season, the environment visibly changes: staff mowing the grass, locals jogging nearby, and evolving operational routines ensure that no two days feel the same. This living environment creates the impression of an active, authentic airfield embedded in the everyday life of the region.
Whether you arrive in a business jet for a conference and conclude the evening in the elegant Elly Beinhorn Hall, or organize sightseeing flights on the weekend followed by a celebration on the BBQ event terrace — Schoenhagen offers an exceptional range of possibilities.
Schoenhagen Airfield is therefore not merely a place for aviation, but a vibrant center for business, innovation, and experiential flying. A scenery defined by depth, dynamism, and atmosphere — revealing new details with every visit.
