Kokemäki airfield, Finland

During a recent trip to Fnland my host took me to a small airfield some 10 kms west of Kokemäki, a town roughly between Tampere and Rauma.

According to the gentleman the airfield was built for/by the Germans for operations by the Luftwaffe.
Behind the computer at home however I could not find any wartime reference to this airfield so far. It's just south of Route 2194 near Highway 2 and still in use for light aviation.

Any Finnish board member who can help me out here?

(By the way: enjoyed the museum in Tikkakoski/Jyväskylä.)

Kiitos!
