Construction of the airfield started in 1932, finishing with an opening ceremony in 1934. At the time, most traffic was bringing guests to the island's seaside resort. During World War II, control of the airfield was assumed by the Wehrmacht, and anti-aircraft artillery was used to fortify the airfield, though no fighter planes were stationed there. At the end of the war, the airfield was abandoned.^[4]

In July 1952, the airfield was reactivated. In 1973, the airfield became the first on the East Frisian Islands to receive a paved runway.^[4]
