| General Description : | Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Baden Soellingen 1953-1993 was a Canadian Forces Base located near the farming community of Rheinmünster-Söllingen in the West German state of Baden-Württemberg. It is now a commercial area called Baden Airpark, which also includes the regional airport Flughafen Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden (Code FKB). |
| Front Description : | To meet NATO's air defence commitments during the Cold War, No. 1 Air Division was established in Europe in the early 1950s with four Royal Canadian Air Force bases or wings in France and West Germany. These included RCAF Station Marville (No. 1 Wing) and RCAF Station Grostenquin (No. 2 Wing) in France and RCAF Station Zweibrücken (No. 3 Wing) and RCAF Station Baden-Soellingen (No. 4 Wing) in West Germany. These wings consisted of three fighter squadrons each. Construction of the airfield at Baden-Soellingen began in December 1951 at a location between the Black Forest and the Rhine River under the supervision of France's Armée de l'Air (AA). The runway and associated facilities were completed by June 1952 and were intended to accommodate a brigade of the AA which arrived in August for the first operational use of the base. At that point, support buildings were under advanced construction. |
