If the Spot glows at night, on the outskirts of the city, invites Christian Juhre again to an event. The beam of light in the sky has, as a search light the way to his “Hangar 312,” on the top of the Grass to grow. Two years ago, the 38-year-old neurppiner has bought the hall with the semi-circular barrel-vaulted roof on the former military airfield in the town of Neuruppin, about 60 km North-West of Berlin.

The Red army built the Hangar in the 1970s, to the camouflaged aircraft garage. Since the military airfield existed already for several decades. In 1916 he was created.
After the Second world war, the Red army took over the place
“In the first world war, a squadron was stationed in Neuruppin,” says Christian Juhre. Thereafter, the former garrison town used the site first civil: From the team’s poor people were barracks-like quarters, a considerable part of the surface small should plow the gardener. “Maybe even here, where now my Hangar at Hugo-Eckener-Ring 40 is?”, organizers considered Juhre. However, in 1934, the Nazi military retook the airport of Neuruppin. Pilots were trained. And after the Second world war, the Red army took over the place.
“After their departure, the ,number, 312, remained’ for many years, unused. Later, the municipal Bauhof stored in it Sand and salt. In the meantime, the old airfield is a part is developed as a commercial area. Carpenters and boat builders have settled. There is a horse farm, a sail airfield and a large solar field.
“Actually, I wanted to use my Hangar as a Garage for buses and vans,” said Juhre. But then, many said his friends and Acquaintances: go for a event location. “It tickled in my fingers,” he recalls. After all, that is exactly his job.
