Rostock-Marienehe ?

Not Rostock-Marienehe. This airfield was in a country annexed by Germany in 1938.

Fliegerhorst Brumowski ?

nvubu. Not Fliegerhorst Brumowski, you have gone a little too far south I believe.
Here is the airfield today:-

Olomouc, Czech Republic.

Open House if correct.

I agree with Olympus as to the location.

Although the airfield was known as Olmütz-Neredin by the Luftwaffe as there was also a civilian airport at Olomouc-Holici which opened in 1937. The latter closed in the late 1960s - mentioned bottom of the page here and here. Some early photos of Olomouc-Neredin are here (all these pages are in czech)

I think Bohemia and Moravia, the latter where Olomouc is located, were annexed on 15 March 1939, not 1938. :ugh:

PS Just noticed Google Translate translates Olomouc-Holici into Olomouc-Shaving:D

My source gives the name of the airfield as Olomoc, Czechoslovakia. Doing a search on that name I found the modern photograph of Olomouc. However looking at the various photographs of Olomouc I cannot locate the buildings shown in the challenge photograph. However, Olympus has identified my second photograph so the laurels go to him. I am left wondering if the challenge photograph had been captioned correctly.

Olympus has requested Open House.

As it's Open House, have a go at this - will sabredog get this in one:ok:

Olympus - I think I know where you are coming from as that is where I thought it was at first, but I don't think it is as that aerodome was/is for fighters and was only opened up to civil aviation in 2002, whereas this photo was taken sometime in the 60/70s, so I think this is the civil airport for the same city - Simferopol International Airport - although I'm not sure I can prove it :uhoh:

You have control.

Here's another one then...
