Civil Airfield Backnang Heiningen (EDSH)

EDSH operates as a PPR airfield, with phone-based prior permission generally described as uncomplicated. The grass runway is well maintained but can be somewhat uneven or wavy in places, and the circuit pattern—especially for runway 28—may require attention due to a short base and final; details are available on the airfield’s homepage. Sufficient parking is available.

There is no fuel available for visitors, despite the presence of a tank facility. A club café operates at times, offering homemade cake; a terrace and simple clubhouse atmosphere are noted. No regular restaurant service is guaranteed.

Ground transport options include a roughly 4 km route to Maubach S-Bahn station for connections to Stuttgart. The airfield lies about 30 km from Stuttgart by road, with public transport possible.

No landing fee is charged, but voluntary donations are customary.
