Hahnweide Airfield (EDST) is a grass airstrip near Kirchheim unter Teck, a short distance from Stuttgart, long associated with gliding and vintage aviation. It is best known as the home of the Hahnweide Old Timer Fly-In, one of the largest gatherings of historic aircraft in Europe outside Oshkosh, drawing hundreds of classic types to its grass runways every few years.
Hahnweide is a grass airfield near Kirchheim unter Teck, close to Stuttgart in Baden-Württemberg. It is home to Fliegergruppe Wolf Hirth e.V. and is tagged as a gliding site, but it is most widely known among sim pilots and enthusiasts for the periodic Hahnweide Old Timer Fly-In, which turns the field into a showcase of vintage and warbird aircraft. Its unpaved runways and rural, hillside setting give it a character quite different from the region's larger paved airports.
The airfield lies near Kirchheim unter Teck in Baden-Württemberg, within easy reach of Stuttgart. It sits at an elevation of 1138 feet.
Hahnweide has two grass runways. The main runway, 12/30, is 3318 feet long on the 30 heading and 3316 feet on the reciprocal 12 heading. A shorter grass runway, 07/25, measures 1978 feet in each direction. There is no ILS at the field.
Traffic at Hahnweide is worked by an AFIS service under the callsign Hahnweide Radio on 128.95 MHz. Langen Information can be contacted on 125.615 MHz.
The first Oldtimer-Fliegertreffen was organised at Hahnweide by members of Fliegergruppe Wolf Hirth e.V. on the weekend of 12-13 September 1981, and the event was subsequently held every two years until 2013, after which it moved to a three-year cycle. Following a six-year pause, the fly-in returned in 2025, drawing around 250 mostly vintage aircraft from a participation list of some 380 and cementing its reputation as the largest gathering of historic aircraft in Europe outside Oshkosh. The 2025 event featured a striking mix of warbirds, including a newly restored Messerschmitt Bf 109E making its public display debut alongside Mustangs, Corsairs, Spitfires and a Messerschmitt Me 262.
Hahnweide remains an active gliding site and general aviation grass field, serving as home base for a small number of resident pilots. It continues to host the Hahnweide Old Timer Fly-In on its multi-year cycle, attracting vintage and warbird aircraft from across Europe to its grass runways.
