The history of the Cold War airfields: Nienhagen Helipad

General

At the beginning of the 1970s, an anti-aircraft missile site for missiles of the Soviet type S-125 Newa (NATO designation SA-3 Goa) of the East German National People's Army has been built northeast of Nienhagen, directly on the Baltic Sea coast. The unit stationed here was first called Anti-aircraft Missile Unit 436 (FRA-436), later FRA-4332. There was also a helipad here, which is described below. With the German reunification, the site was closed. Today there is a residential area and the Technopark Nienhagen.
