Leipzig/Halle Airport

Leipzig/Halle Airport celebrated its 70th anniversary in 1997. It was on Easter Monday in 1927 that an airport - which was very modern in its time - opened after very short construction time north of the town of Schkeuditz, half way between the cities of Halle and Leipzig.

That date forms the clear starting point for the history of the airport, you might think, and you would expect a continuous development towards the efficient air traffic facilities we have today. But the history of aviation in the region was very troubled. The ups and downs in the development can only be understood in the context of the eventful German history of the 20th century. Two world wars had crucial influence on the development of the airports around Halle and Leipzig, as had the political difficulties of the Weimar Republic, the National Socialists' preparations for the war, and the political and economic post-war situation.

We will thus have to range further afield than the beginnings of air traffic in Leipzig and Halle from which the airports in Halle Nietleben and Leipzig Mockau evolved. We will then present a chronicle of the Schkeuditz facilities from the early days to the present Leipzig/Halle Airport.
