Aviation in Dithmarschen

Sankt Michaelisdonn is a municipality in the district of Dithmarschen in the state of Schleswig-Holstein — located on the southern edge of the district, not far from the Elbe River. Hopen Airfield (ICAO code EDXM), located at Hopen 50, is home to the Dithmarscher Luftsportverein (Dithmarschen Aviation Club) and the venue for the annual family air show.

What to Expect

The air show combines active aviation with a broad range of family activities:

  • Breathtaking Flight Program — Demonstrations by gliders, motor gliders, aerobatic special pilots, and vintage aircraft
  • Flight Opportunities — Sightseeing flights over the Dithmarscher Marsch, the Elbe estuary, and along the North Sea coast (for a fee)
  • Quad Biking for children and teenagers
  • Climbing Tower with safety equipment
  • Model Boat Races on a specially constructed pool
  • Culinary Delights — Coffee, cake, sausages, ice cream, crêpes, fish rolls
  • Meet Pilots and aviation enthusiasts

The Dithmarscher Luftsportverein

The club has operated Hopen Airfield for decades — one of the few sports aviation facilities in Schleswig-Holstein. The annual air show serves as the club's flagship event, contributing to attracting young talent to aviation and providing a vibrant summer day for the region. The event is driven by volunteer work and enthusiasm.

A Region of Vastness

Dithmarschen is one of the widest landscapes in Northern Germany — flat, bordered by dikes, with a view to the sky. Those who get to experience a round trip over this marshland will see the Wadden Sea, the Elbe estuary, and on clear days, even Heligoland. The air show in Hopen makes this experience accessible to everyone.

The Familienflugtag Hopen 2026 will take place on Sunday, June 7, from 10:00 AM at Hopen Airfield (EDXM).
