Holzdorf is one of the former East German Air Force bases that was taken over by the German Heeresflieger. Presently, it holds part of the CH-53 fleet that now resides under the Luftwaffe. There is also a SAR detachment of the Bundesheer, with a civil-registered H145 in military livery.
The airfield has a layout of rectangular roads and taxiways, having decommisioned most of the former typical layout with shelter areas around taxiway loops. The former northern taxiway, once the main runway, has been replace by a road. North of the east-west runway, the aprons hangars can be found, many of them constructed early this century. The SAR detachment has its hangar in the southeast corner.
Holzdorf is located some 80 km south of Berlin, along the B101 road. From the A9, take the B187 from Dessau to Luckau. From the A13, take the B87 via Luckau, and then the B101 northbound.
