About the Volkel Air Base historic hangar
The Volkel Air Base historic hangar is a brick aircraft hangar built in 1941–1942 by the firm Deisel of Bochum and Dusseldorf for the German Luftwaffe. It has a rectangular plan of over 43 by 28 meters and a gabled roof with a change in pitch. Both side elevations, north and south, are entirely blind and carry eight heavy brick buttresses.
Inside, a concrete floor runs beneath eight reinforced-concrete lattice trusses that span the width and rest on the buttresses. Steel wind bracing is set in the first, fourth and eighth bays, with timber purlins between the trusses. The register cites the hangar's military-historical value as a building from the occupation period 1940–1945 and as a rare German-built aircraft hangar on Dutch territory. A two-storey extension on the east side dates from 1954 and falls outside the protection.
