Hagenbuch Airport

The closure was not due to a major incident or military conversion. As a small, private grass airstrip, the most probable reasons for its closure are a combination of factors common to such airfields: the expiration of a land lease, the owner ceasing private operations, economic non-viability, or increasing pressure from local development and potential noise complaints. The land was ultimately returned to agricultural use.

The site of the former airport has been fully returned to agricultural use. Satellite imagery of the coordinates confirms that the former grass runway is no longer distinguishable from the surrounding farmland. There are no remaining signs of airport infrastructure such as hangars, runway markers, or associated buildings. The land is now part of a farm.

Hagenbuch Airport (also known as Flugplatz Hagenbuch) was a small, private grass airfield. Its significance was purely local, serving the general aviation community. It was primarily used for recreational flying by light aircraft and possibly for glider operations. It never handled commercial, scheduled, or significant military traffic. The ICAO code CH-0036 was an unofficial or temporary national identifier used in some databases for small aerodromes, not an official, internationally recognized airport code.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Hagenbuch Airport. The land has been completely repurposed for agriculture, and re-establishing an airfield would face significant logistical, financial, and regulatory hurdles, including likely opposition from the local community. The airport is considered permanently defunct.
