History
Early years as a military airport
The construction of a military airfield began in December 1951 at a location between the Black Forest and the Rhine River under the supervision of French Air Force. The runway and associated facilities were completed by June 1952. The airfield was granted to Canadian forces and became a military base, RCAF Station Baden–Soellingen, later renamed CFB Baden–Soellingen, from 1953 until 1994.[6]
The newly founded Baden Airpark GmbH took over the former military to develop it into a regional airport and business park.[6] Technically the airport itself today is part of the actual Baden Airpark, which also includes business facilities.[5]
