Heeresflieger
The Army aviation airfield ("Heeresflugplatz Celle" or "Immelmann-Kaserne") in Celle-Wietzenbruch gained renown in the 1940s as one of the departure airfields for supply aircraft during the Berlin Airlift. This event is commemorated by the Airbridge Memorial at the entrance to the site initiated in 1985 by the then Celle town councillor, Karl Duffner, and opened in 1988. Today, the aerodrome is the location for the Bundeswehr's Army Aviation Training Centre C, as well as the 100th Aviation Reconnaissance Squadron ("Heeresfliegerverbindungs- und Aufklärungsstaffel 100").
