Lwówek Airport

Primarily economic reasons. The airstrip was mainly used for agricultural aviation (agrolotnictwo), a service supporting the large, state-owned collective farms (Państwowe Gospodarstwo Rolne - PGR) common during Poland's communist era. Following the fall of communism in 1989 and the subsequent dissolution and privatization of these state farms, the demand for widespread crop-dusting services collapsed, rendering small, specialized airstrips like this one economically obsolete and leading to their closure.

The site is completely decommissioned and has been fully returned to agricultural use. The former grass runway is now a cultivated field, and there are no remaining airport buildings, hangars, or any other infrastructure at the location. On satellite imagery, the faint, linear outline of the former runway can still be discerned within the field, but on the ground, it is indistinguishable from the surrounding farmland.

The airfield's origins trace back to World War II, when it was used by the German Luftwaffe as a field airfield (Feldflugplatz) and known as Flugplatz Löwenberg. After the war, when the region became part of Poland, the site was repurposed as a civil landing strip ('lądowisko'). Its primary function during the post-war period was agricultural. It was used by aircraft, such as the PZL-106 Kruk or An-2, for crop dusting, fertilizing, and pest control over the vast farmlands in the area. It was never a commercial airport for passenger or significant cargo traffic.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. The complete lack of infrastructure, the site's successful reintegration into agricultural land, and the absence of any economic or logistical demand for an airfield in this specific location make its reactivation extremely unlikely.
