Re: Uffz. Alexander John 4.Gr. TrGeschw. 3
I see the villages of Altenhorst and Ickhorst close to Hannover-Langenhagen, but Evershorst (Hüde-Everhorst/Dümmersee) is 88.5 km west of Hannover-Langenhagen airfield and 11 km south of Diepholz. The only information I have on a Hannover-Everhorst (Langenhagen) is:
Hannover Evershorst (Langenhagen): Constructed 1936 within 59 days, opening 1 April 1936. Codename "Insulin". Relocation of Focke-Wulf design department to Bad Eilsen during WWI and production site at Evershorst, which led to evaluation of new types on this airfield. Considerable damage by RAF raid August 1944. I see no visual evidence of there ever being an airfield there, so it must have been plowed up and returned to cultivation after the war. Do you have any additional information on Evershorst? L. |

Re: Uffz. Alexander John 4.Gr. TrGeschw. 3
Hi Matti and Larry,
Thanks again for your help. The former Airfield Langenhagen-Evershorst is today the Area of Hannover-Airport. The first "Civil Airport" for Hannover was the Airfield in Hannover-Vahrenwald. Also used in WWII by German Air Force Units. This Area is today completely overbuild.... Industrial Area. Northern Parts from the Airfield Evershorst (Buildings, Railway Tracks a.s.o.) were used by German Army until the beginning of the 90.ties.... some of the original Buildings were used for the Airport and Federal Police. Greetings streak98 (Dirk) |
