Giessen Army Depot is a former military garrison, located 5.7 km east-northeast of Giessen in Hesse, Germany.
The facility opened as a civilian airport in July 1925. The airfield, however dates to the spring of 1911 when it was first used by biplanes. In 1924 a sports flying event was held at the airfield. In July 1925, Lufthansa operated flights from the new airport to Frankfurt/Main and Kassel. The station building was opened in 1927. Hangars and other buildings began to appear from 1929. In 1933 a beacon was built just off the airfield to facilitate nighttime navigation.
