Müritz Airpark

Müritz Airpark, operating under IATA code REB and ICAO code EDAX, is a general aviation airfield located near Lärz in the Mecklenburg Lake District of northeastern Germany. It occupies the site of a former Soviet military air base, Lärz Air Base, which was one of the largest Soviet installations in East Germany during the Cold War. Following German reunification and the withdrawal of Soviet forces in the early 1990s, the site was converted for civilian use. Today it serves primarily as a general aviation hub, hosting private pilots, skydiving operations, airshows, and various aviation-related events. The surrounding Müritz region, known for its lakes and nature park, gives the airfield a recreational and tourism-oriented character. The airfield retains much of the Soviet-era infrastructure, including its long runways originally built to accommodate heavy military aircraft. This makes it capable of handling larger aircraft despite its general aviation focus.
