Cabinet - State governments meet at the military airport

The state governments of Brandenburg and Saxony-Anhalt plan to hold a joint cabinet meeting on Tuesday (11.15 a.m.) at Holzdorf military airbase. Particular attention will be paid to the expansion of the Holzdorf-Schönewalde military base. Cross-border infrastructure ideas and the development of a hydrogen core network will also be discussed.

The Holzdorf military airbase on the border between Brandenburg and Saxony-Anhalt is to be developed into one of the most important air bases of the German Armed Forces. Among other things, the German government wants to procure the Arrow 3 air defense system from Israel in order to be able to neutralize incoming missiles at high altitudes. In addition, Holzdorf is to become the base for 47 of 60 of the Bundeswehr's new heavy transport helicopters.

Around 1800 people currently work on the military site. The planned investment is up to 700 million euros. In addition, a further 700 military and civilian employees are to work at the site in the future.
