Niederstetten Army Air Base is a German military airfield in northern Baden-Württemberg, some four kilometres east of the town of Niederstetten. It is built around a long hard-surfaced main runway complemented by two shorter grass strips, with an ILS available on one runway direction, and a Luftwaffe presence dating back to the 1930s.
Niederstetten Army Air Base is a military aerodrome in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, sited close to the town of Niederstetten from which it takes its name. It combines a substantial hard-surfaced runway with two parallel grass strips, giving it an unusual mixed character among German military fields, and its long-standing military role makes it a point of interest for simulator pilots exploring German army aviation.
The airfield lies in Northern Baden-Württemberg, approximately four kilometres east of the town of Niederstetten. As a military installation it sits within controlled or restricted airspace associated with its operations, and traffic in the area should expect to coordinate with the relevant military and civil information services.
The airfield has three physical runway pairs. The main runway, 07/25, is a hard surface 4,277 feet long on the 07 threshold and 3,951 feet on the 25 threshold, lit, with an ILS available on runway 25. A second, shorter parallel runway, 07L/25R, is grass, 2,099 feet long and lit. A third, much shorter grass strip, 07R/25L, is 646 feet long and also lit.
Pilots can expect to work Langen Information on AFIS frequencies 119.15 MHz and 128.95 MHz, and Stetten Radio on the INFO frequency 119.78 MHz, with Stetten Tower providing a TWR service on 122.1 MHz. An ILS is available for the main runway, serving runway 25.
Construction of an airfield at the site was completed in 1936 for the Luftwaffe, though no permanent buildings or structures were erected at that time, suggesting it was not originally intended as a permanent installation.
Niederstetten continues to operate as a German military airfield, with its mix of a long hard runway and shorter grass strips reflecting its role in military aviation training and operations.
