A DESTINATION WITH RICH HISTORICAL ROOTS
Tropical Islands came into existence within the confines of a former airship hangar famously named Aerium. The structure initially served as an airfield for the Brand-Guben Pilot Training School of the Luftwaffe. In subsequent years, it transformed into the largest airport within the GDR, playing host to official visits from the former USSR. Notably, the airfield extended its hospitality to astronaut Yuri Gagarin in 1963.
In 1998, the Federal State of Brandenburg relinquished ownership of the facility to CargoLifter AG, a company with intentions of establishing a technological innovation hub in that vicinity. However, CargoLifter faced financial turmoil and declared bankruptcy in 2002. Subsequently, the property was acquired by PLC/Colin Au a year later. Following these financial challenges, the new proprietors opted to transform the historic locale into a water park, leading to the creation of Tropical Islands.
The former airship hangar, known as the dome as well, presently houses a portion of Tropical Islands and stands as one of the largest freestanding structures across the globe, spanning an impressive 6.6 hectares. Alongside the dome, the park also boasts expansive outdoor facilities!
