Teamwork!

It takes many hands to prepare the 2023/24 season and plan the flight operations.
This also brings some new faces to Bitterwasser.

In addition to Stefan and Domink Senger, who will still manage the flight office until mid-November and will then be replaced by Michael Stolze, Bernd Mangold and Pirmin Sensing are also real experts at the glider.
They are primarily the technical support in the workshop.
Both work at Schempp-Hirth Flugzeugbau and therefore know what they are talking about. Also thanks to them, flying from morning to night is possible. Pirmin stays until the end of the season to make sure that all flyers are well.
All four support each other energetically!

One or the other may have read my name already. My name is Hannah Schweckendiek and I am doing the media work and helping out at the reception this season.

The whole team is always open for any questions and suggestions!

The first guests can arrive!

A stay at the Bitterwasser Lodge is usually beyond the financial means of young pilots. At the same time, the next generation is the key to the future of our wonderful sport—and of the lodge as well. That is why supporting young pilots is a core part of the Bitterwasser Flying Center’s mission.

Leveling the Landing Area

Early October is the ideal time to prepare the runways for flight operations. You can land at the Bitterwasser Flying Lodge in every which direction—depending on how you look at it, on 8 runways (plus one emergency runway), each in two directions. Jeremias carefully levels the landing area over the course of several weeks.
