Neustadt-Glewe airfield (ICAO code: EDAN) is a commercial airfield in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district. It is approved for gliders, motor gliders, ultralight aircraft and motor aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of up to 5.7 tonnes.
The grass airfield, built in the 1930s, reached a size of 1200 by 750 metres in 1938. It served as a training ground for various pilot schools of the German Air Force, including the FFS A72 as a satellite airfield next to Güstrow and Sülte from 1944. Various infrastructure buildings for flight operations from this period are still partially preserved[1]. In the GDR, the Society for Sport and Technology was the user of the airfield from 1953, and a district training centre for the northern districts of Rostock, Schwerin and Neubrandenburg was established with sections for gliding and parachuting. A special airfield was set up in 1991. From February 9, 1995, the airfield was approved as a commercial airfield.
