History:
Developed as part of the Nazi Germany's programme to develop the German population's flying skills in preparation for war, it was opened as a glider training establishment. Taken over by the Luftwaffe in 1933, it was fully developed as a military airfield.
After being overrun by the Red Army in May 1945, towards the end of World War II, it came under the control of the occupying forces of the Soviet Union. From this point forward, several units of the Soviet Air Force were stationed at the site. After extending the runway to 2,600 metres (8,500 ft), the Soviet military added an anti-aircraft missile site 5.6 kilometres (3.5 mi) west of the near Lindow. The attached air regiment of the 833 IAP were initially equipped with the MiG-9, later replaced by the MiG-29 Fulcrum-A/B fighter and MiG-23UM Flogger-C operational trainer. The regiment was part of the 16th Guards Fighter Aviation Division within the 16th Air Army with headquarters in Damgarten.
With the reunification of Germany from 1989/1990, the Soviet Army agreed to return all bases by the end of 1994. The airfield was handed back to the district authorities in 1992.

"Elie de Bétoulaud conçoit ces grottes d’une part « comme monuments éternels à la gloire du roy Louis le Grand » (Louis XIV), ainsi qu’il l’écrit dans son testament, et d’autre part comme un lieu dédié « Aux muses et aux loisirs ». Homme de lettre et poète, Elie reproduit ici grandeur nature le décor d’un roman, l’Astrée d’Honoré d’Urfé, qui fascinait à cette époque tous les aristocrates férus de littérature. Outre ce labyrinthe de pierre, un parc arboré s’étendait sur le plateau jusqu’au château et une fontaine complétait le tableau en contrebas des grottes."

"Although they are both impressive and enchanting, the caves we can see today are but a pale reflection, given over to nature, of the backdrop designed by Elie de Bétoulaud to bring to life certain passages of l’Astrée. He himself described the caves as decorated with gold, with silver seashells, marble, mother-of-pearl etc. The man alcoves were used to display busts of ancient heroes and gods, along with a bust of Louis XIV. Orange trees, jasmines, oleanders and other exotic flowers completed the décor and were moved for shelter during the winter to the great gallery which fills the lower third of the cliff."
