Flensburg-Schäferhaus is a small general aviation airfield on the German-Danish border, just outside the city of Flensburg in Schleswig-Holstein. It offers a hard-surfaced main runway and a parallel grass strip, making it a useful and characterful stop for VFR pilots exploring the far north of Germany. The field has a distinct wartime history, having served as an Advanced Landing Ground for the Royal Air Force.
Flensburg-Schäferhaus Airport (ICAO EDXF, IATA FLF) is a general aviation airfield serving the city of Flensburg in Schleswig-Holstein, close to the Danish border. It carries no scheduled airline traffic and functions purely as a base for light aircraft operations, making it a straightforward and quiet destination for visiting pilots flying VFR in northern Germany.
The airfield lies at Flensburg, in the northernmost part of Schleswig-Holstein near the border with Denmark. Traffic in the area is coordinated through Langen Information on 125.1 MHz, with Flensburg Radio also available on 122.855 MHz for local information. Pilots should expect uncontrolled airspace typical of a small German general aviation field, and should monitor the appropriate frequency for traffic information when operating in the vicinity.
The airfield has two parallel runways aligned 11/29. The main runway, 11R/29L, is hard-surfaced, lit, and approximately 4,181 to 4,379 feet long depending on the direction flown. A second, unlit grass runway, 11L/29R, runs parallel to it at 3,726 feet. There is no ILS at the field. Field elevation is 128 feet.
Pilots can expect to work Langen Information on the AFIS frequency of 125.1 MHz, with Flensburg Radio also monitoring 122.855 MHz. There is no instrument landing system at the airfield, so arrivals and departures are conducted visually.
During the Second World War the site was used by the British Royal Air Force as Advanced Landing Ground B-166 Flensburg, part of the network of temporary airfields established in newly liberated territory to support Allied air operations. In the postwar decades the airfield also handled scheduled domestic passenger flights, though this service ended by around 1980, after which the field settled into its present role supporting general aviation.
Flensburg-Schäferhaus today operates purely as a general aviation airfield, with no scheduled commercial airline service. It continues to support light aircraft flying from its hard-surfaced and grass runways.
