Heringsdorf Airport (IATA code: HDF, ICAO code: EDAH) is an airport on the island of Usedom. It lies in the territory of the municipalities of Garz and Zirchow.
Heringsdorf regional airport is one of the oldest German air destinations and was considered the second oldest airport on the territory of the German Democratic Republic (GDR)
In 1935, the Luftwaffe of the Wehrmacht took over the airfield and had it expanded into Garz Air Base in the following years. From 1936, the coastal fighter squadron 3/136 was stationed here. This was equipped with Heinkel He 51 aircraft. During this time, an aerobatic squadron was also set up, which flew with Bücker Jungmeister aircraft. In 1937, the unit first received Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter planes and a short time later also Bf 110. For training on the Bf 110, a firing range was built east of the airfield in the direction of Kamminke. In the last years of World War II, the runway was expanded to accommodate larger aircraft such as the He 177 long-range bombers. While the surrounding villages were subjected to air raids by the Red Army on May 4, 1945, the airfield, which had already been cleared, remained undamaged and was occupied by Soviet troops the following day.
