Fallschirmsportclub Oberhausen

Site redevelopment and consolidation. The special landing site was closed following the departure of the US Army from the Giebelstadt Army Airfield in 2006. The area was converted to civilian use, and the skydiving operations were integrated into the newly established public airport, Flugplatz Giebelstadt (EDQG), making the separate designation DE-0452 obsolete.

The physical location is now part of the active civilian airport, Flugplatz Giebelstadt (ICAO: EDQG), and the surrounding 'Giebelstadt Airport & Business Park'. A large portion of the former military airfield has been converted into one of Germany's largest photovoltaic power plants, the 'Solarpark Giebelstadt'. Skydiving remains a major activity at the location, now operated by 'Skydive Giebelstadt' (Fallschirmsportclub Main-Tauber e.V.), which uses the facilities of the main EDQG airport.

Fallschirmsportclub Oberhausen (DE-0452) was a designated special landing site (Sonderlandeplatz) used almost exclusively for recreational skydiving. Its primary function was to serve as the home base and drop zone for the local parachute club. The site's broader historical context is significant, as it operated on the grounds of Giebelstadt Airfield, a former Luftwaffe fighter base in World War II (notably for Messerschmitt Me 262 jets) and subsequently a major US Army helicopter and reconnaissance aircraft base throughout the Cold War until its closure in 2006.

None. The specific designation DE-0452 is permanently closed. Its function was superseded and fully absorbed by the larger, active Flugplatz Giebelstadt (EDQG) which operates on the same grounds. The original purpose of the site—skydiving—is actively continuing at the location under a new organization and the modern airport's designation.
