Melle: Flugplatz
Built around the medieval parish church of St. Petri, Melle grew into a dispersed town in Lower Saxony. Flugplatz Melle lies amid the open fields of Osnabrück Land, between the Wiehen Hills to the north and the Teutoburg Forest to the south. Today’s town was formed in 1972 through the merger of the former town of Melle with seven surrounding municipalities, a structure still reflected in its distinct districts and rural surroundings. The airfield adds a small-scale aviation element to this agricultural setting. In the town centre, Automuseum Melle presents a collection of historic vehicles, while low wooded ridges and farmland shape the wider landscape.
