If you manage to walk into the abandoned Flugplatz Rangsdorf, you will never suspect what the place used to be and how much history happened there. It was here that Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg landed after trying to kill Hitler back in 1944 and this is why we took our cameras to explore this abandoned airport ten kilometers south of Berlin city limits.

Right now, the abandoned Flugplatz Rangsdorf is a quiet place, so quiet that you can hear the cars going by on the highway while we took pictures. This was the only noise we heard during our cold morning back in March 2018. No guards, no other people. Maybe the cold scared them away. Perhaps it was the distance to Berlin.

Today the abandoned Flugplatz Rangsdorf is fenced, and its gates are closed to the public. There are houses around the area and, from outside, you can only see dilapidated buildings. Decaying buildings that were, back in the 1940s, one of the most essential airfields around Berlin.
