The old French airfield in the state before the expansion on a map from 1953 - Directly in the south is the road to Langenwinkel as well as the small railway to Kehl. When flight operations are in progress, the traffic can be stopped by a traffic light (AMS M841 GSGS 4414, Courtesy Harold B. Lee Library, Brigham Young University /BYU/)

The three locations mentioned in the above text by the Baden federal government for the new / expanded Lahr airfield at the beginning of the 1950s - Blue the implemented field, red are two alternative locations. Turquoise is the location of the runway which already existed at this time. For orientation, the later built autobahn A5 is marked yellow. Source: /LABW 5-124626-121/ with additions

Lahr airfield on a map from 1953 - Shown is a radio beacon (R Bn) and a direction finder (DF)

The French air base Base aérienne 139 Lahr on a map from 1956. - The field has a beacon (star symbol) as well as a VHF direction finder (square with "V" underneath). Slightly to the south-west is a non-directional beacon, over which the airway RED SEVEN leads to the Rottweil radio beacon. The further north-east-listed radio beacon Herrenburg must presumably be correctly called Herrenberg. Lahr is surrounded by a control zone (dashed circle). For the Hornisgrinde mountain in the Black Forrest, a VHF direction finder is shown, which is the station FORENO ROUGE of the French FORENO chain. FORENO is a short form for the French Forêt-Noire, which means Black Forrest = Schwarzwald.

Lahr in 1963 - In the meantime, about 12 km to the northeast is another Lahr radio beacon with ident LH. However, it is not aligned with the extended runway centerline, but has an offset of about 10° to the southeast.
