100th anniversary

Dear friends of Akaflieg Darmstadt,

We are celebrating our 100th anniversary!

Darmstadt has been home to an Akaflieg since 1920 and ever since then we have been developing, repairing and flying our very own prototypes – Plenty of reason to celebrate!

After having been forced to postpone all anniversary celebrations in 2020 because of the global pandemic, we are now finally able to celebrate a century of Akaflieg innovation!

We are excited to invite you to our 100th anniversary celebrations:

On the 15th of July, 2022, we will host an exhibition of all available Akaflieg prototypes – past and present – on Karolinenplatz at the city centre campus,

On the 22nd and 23rd of July, 2022 we are organising an aeronautical colloquium, a list featuring all of the lectures and presentations will be released soon,

And finally, to conclude the festivities, we have invited a host of guests to our ball on the 23rd of July, 2021 at 5 pm in the Otto-Berndt-Hall at the city centre campus, our dress code request is formal to cocktail attire.
