Fassberg

Faßberg is best known within Lower Saxony for its Bundeswehr air base and its role in the Berlin Airlift. Set amid the heathland and pine forests of the Lüneburg Heath, the municipality has a markedly different identity from the region’s older market towns: aviation has shaped its modern development. In 1948–49, RAF Fassberg was one of the western airfields supplying West Berlin during the Soviet blockade. The Luftbrückenmuseum Faßberg documents that operation, while the nearby heath retains the open, sandy character associated with this part of northern Germany.
