Memmingen Airport: Where Germany's highest movement airport is

The Allgäu Airport, also known as Memmingen Airport, is located in the municipality of Memmingerberg in Unterallgäu. With over 2.8 million passengers in 2023, the airport recorded a new record.

criminal proceedings for unauthorized stays

After the border police had caught the two vacationers without valid residence permit, they initiated criminal proceedings against them in accordance with the Living Act. Those affected had to deposit a security deposit of almost 400 euros before they were allowed to compete.

Memmingen Airport, once a military airport in the German Air Force, has had a moving past. After the end of the Second World War, the facility was initially destroyed and later converted into a civil airport. Since its opening in 2007, the airport has developed into an important location in Bavaria.
