For the construction of our wood kitchen we urgently needed a jigsaw – and we were lucky because Mr. Zender by the company Mafell could help us immediately! He took us past a precision jigsaw, so our intern Phillipp could work very professionally. The new kitchen block offers plenty of room for future cooking events!
While Steven (17) has joined us for a short time, Phillipp (16) is now two months part of the Fliegerwerkstatt and barely indispensable. Whether build the sound enclosure, the installation of a ventilation for our office or the construction of our new kitchen: Phillipp is sent and fun in the matter! In parallel, he is preparing for his new training section after the summer holidays.
Since yesterday, the stunt kites from the German Museum of Technology Berlin is hanging in full span under our hall ceiling.
It’s thanks to Günter Hujer, the historian circle engine factory Oberursel and not least Rolls-Royce Germany that we now have a Klomov’s helicopter engine GTD 350 Klimov in our workshop. In order to demonstrate how such a drive works we will make a Schnittmodell of this engine. Another project for our young pilots.
The Fliegerwerkstatt gets her first big airplane part, the cockpit of a Boeing 737, which was still flown around the world until August 2014 for Southwest Airlines. This cockpit is to be the centerpiece of a real flight simulator, which we want to build together with the young people.
The Fliegerwerkstatt participates in this year’s Girl’s Day. The workshop on April 23 is already fully booked with 14 participants.
Back in December, we were welcomed by the school management of the Ferdinand-Freilingrath-School and developed many ideas for cooperation. A 3-day workshop is scheduled for March, initial concepts were exchanged and the planning for the new school year can begin.
Should it even be very loudly when drilling or hammering our pilots will be able to retire in the noise protection cabin. Not only this cabin, but also a CNC machine, tool trolleys and cabinets were given to us by the training workshop of Rolls-Royce Germany!
This week is the deadline for our indoor soccer tournament on December 6 in the Fliegerwerkstatt. We start at twelve o’clock. Young people over 12 years old can register their team with 3 outfield players plus 3 substitutes.

In our 2-day graffiti workshop six students of the Marianne-Cohn-School designed a common work of art.
Stefan Wilke, a professional graffiti artist, donated his time to support the young with his expertise.
Thus, they created with many different ideas a one-time work, to which the “artists” were as proud as their caregivers.
