General

Roth used to be home to KHR26, flying the Bo105P helicopter. The unit left the base in 2013 and was disbanded the next year. New infrastructure for the envisioned Tiger operations was mainly used for storage. The airfield lost its military status in 2014 but remains useable by prior permission. The only users nowadays are rare military charters, the local gliding club and deployed Bavarian police helicopters.

Layout

The base is situated in the middle of a forest southeast of Roth, along road B2. No successful attempts of spotting from the outside are known to us. There is a short east-west runway with a grass strip north of it. South of these, the taxiways, aprons and hangars are situated.

Getting There

Roth is south of Nürnberg. From Nürnberg, take Highway no.6 from Autobahnkreuz Nürnberg-Ost to the southwest, direction Schwabach / Heilbronn. At Autobahnkreuz Roth, take road B2 to Roth. Approaching from the south on Highway no.9, take exit 55 Allerberg / Roth and follow the St2237 road westbound to Roth. You will reach the B2 road just northeast of Roth.

Around the Airport

The airfield is completely surrounded by woods. The Kaserne area to the southwest, the Heideweg, and Steinbacher weg to the south and southeast, and lastly the Forstäckerweg, and Zu Den Höfen in the north, all lead towards the base into the forest. Whether you are able to see anything is unclear, when something is flying it might be spotted from the roads mentioned.
