Tannheim Airfield (EDMT) is a family-run grass airstrip in the Allgäu region of Baden-Württemberg, lying between Bad Wörishofen and Memmingen. Founded in 1976 by the Dolderer family and still operated by them today, it is best known as the birthplace of the Tannkosh fly-in and the home base of aerobatic pilot Matthias Dolderer.
Tannheim is a small, privately owned public airfield near the town of the same name in the Allgäu region of southern Germany. It has been run continuously by the Dolderer family since 1976 and combines a working grass airstrip with a flying school, restaurant and guest accommodation, giving it a relaxed, informal character that is popular with both touring and recreational pilots. For a simulator pilot it is a rewarding short-field destination with strong local flavour, historic aircraft on the field and a strong connection to European general aviation events.
The airfield lies in the Allgäu, roughly one nautical mile northeast of the village of Tannheim, between Bad Wörishofen and Memmingen airfield. It sits at an elevation of 1900 feet and is used for VFR traffic within the surrounding lower airspace of southern Baden-Württemberg.
Tannheim has a single grass runway, 09/27, measuring 2758 feet in length. There is no instrument landing system, and operations are conducted visually.
Traffic at Tannheim is worked as Tannheim Radio on 122.83 MHz. Pilots can also obtain wider flight information from Langen Information on 126.95 MHz. No published instrument approaches or navaids serve the field, so arrivals and departures are flown under visual flight rules.
The airfield is located close to the village of Tannheim itself, about one nautical mile to the northeast, and lies on a line between the towns of Bad Wörishofen and Memmingen, whose airfield can serve as a nearby reference point when navigating in the area.
Tannheim Airfield was founded in 1976 by Max and Helga Dolderer, making it one of the few family-owned and operated public airfields in Germany. Their children, Verena and Matthias Dolderer, now run the business, and Matthias first became airborne at Tannheim before going on to a career as a national aerobatic pilot and Red Bull Air Race competitor. The airfield became internationally known as the birthplace of Tannkosh, an annual fly-in and airshow inspired by the American Oshkosh gathering, which for many years drew vintage aircraft, warbirds and classic cars from across Europe.
Tannheim remains a family-operated general aviation site offering a flying school, restaurant, guest rooms and a campsite for visiting pilots and their aircraft. Historic types are based on the field, including a Texan T-6 named 'Las Vegas Lady', alongside Matthias Dolderer's aerobatic aircraft. The airfield continues to host visiting pilots, flying clubs and holidaymakers, and remains closely associated with the Tannkosh fly-in tradition.
