RAF Butzweilerhof
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
RAF Butzweilerhof was a Royal Air Force station in Germany situated in the northern suburbs of Cologne (Koln). It was closed down in 1967. The few civilian employees remaining at the beginning of 1967 were required to leave by the end of the month of January, whereupon the station reverted to the Bundeswehr.
Although part of the old airfield still remains in the hands of the German Bundeswehr (not in use), the rest of the land has been re-developed into film studios (MMC). On the film studio lot, a renovated hangar still bears the inscription of the Belgium Army who were stationed at Butzweiler. The remaining land has now been divided up for residential and office re-development. The Butzweilerhof main airport terminal building, opened in 1926 is protected as a listed building and is ungoing renovations.
