Rheine-Bentlage Air Base is located near the village of Bentlage, 2 km northwest of the city of Rheine, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. In 1939 work to build an air base for the Luftwaffe began. These preparations were completed in 1940. During World War II extensive use was made of the air base, particularly by night and day fighter squadrons. In 1960, following the founding of the German Armed Forces in 1955 and the establishing of a new branch within the German Army, the Aviation Corps, completely new military installations, hangars and a small runway made of asphalt, were constructed on the grounds of the former German Air Force base.
