Butzweilerhof is a former civil airport of Cologne in West Germany. It was established as a training airfield in 1912, and saw airline service from 1922 until the 1950s. It was replaced by the Cologne Bonn Airport. The airport buildings from 1935-36 are registered as listed monuments, and a rare example of airport architecture from the interwar period. From 1951 to 1967, it was operated by the Royal Air Force as RAF Butzweilerhof.[4]
