Tips

April 22, 2018

Nörvenich Air Base is a military airfield near Nörvenich in the Düren district of North Rhine-Westphalia.

It was initially planned for use by the British Royal Air Force (RAF Nörvenich) as another so-called "clutch station" alongside RAF Geilenkirchen, RAF Wildenrath, RAF Brüggen, and RAF Laarbruch.

This term was used in the 1950s to describe newly built RAF bases located near the border with the Netherlands and thus as far away as possible from the then inner-German border.

The grounds can be viewed from several vantage points. A walk around the perimeter is highly recommended for air force enthusiasts.

The size of the beacon right next to the entrance is impressive. The beacon stands close to the fence, along which a paved cycle path runs.
