Skyscrapers on the glidead. Pilots against the development of the Kaliningrad airfield Devau

In Kaliningrad, deceived equity holders rally. To their misfortune, a long -building arose next to the historical airfield Devau, which is already 100 years old and on which civil aviation in Europe was born. It was impossible to build housing here. But the authorities at one time allowed construction. Now either the equity holders will remain deceived, or Kaliningrad will lose another historical monument.

At the memorial sign, 12 people with posters gathered in Kaliningrad to fellow countrymen in Kaliningrad. For five years, K-Stroy interest holders spent more than 130 pickets. So far, to no avail.

Twelve three -story houses were supposed to appear next to the Devau airfield a few years ago. But today the developer is bankrupt, and at home it can be completed only if three floors are demolished. The skyscrapers interfere with the operation of the airfield. However, no one takes on the problem object, and 74 equity holders go to rallies as a job.

- If the status from the airfield is removed, we can get a building permit. Here it will be possible to build without any restrictions, ”says Kremier Irina Shaulskaya .

The governor of the region Anton Alikhanov also believes approximately the same. He recently stated that work was underway to transfer land under the airfield of the Federal Property Management Agency, and Devau would soon lose the status of an airfield.

The development will kill the airfield

“Removing the status of the current airfield will remove restrictions on the construction of facilities in the Aerodromnaya territory, consider the issue of completing the construction of the objects of the developer K-Stroy without work on the dismantling of three floors of apartment buildings,” Alikhanov explained on his Instagram page.

“The development will kill the airfield,” says Sergey Mashchenko, head of the Kaliningrad aviation and sports club DOSAAF.

The DOSAAF airborne fabric rents the territory of the airfield and now intends to sue the regional authorities so that Devau can work as before.

"It makes no sense to finish building"

The territory around Devau began to build up the territory in 2012. Then residential buildings in the immediate vicinity of the airfield began to build Oceania. Later it turned out that the site is located in the Aerodromnaya territory, and the court banned the construction. And two years later, the administration of the Guryevsky city district transferred this section of the K-Stroy company. When the microdistrict of the three -story buildings was almost ready, the prosecutor’s office found out that the site was transferred to the developer without bidding, which means illegally. In addition, the house stand in the Aerodrom territory. The prosecutor's office demanded to demolish the house.

But that moment of the apartment there was already bought 74 equity holders. And then the court ruled: to disassemble the upper floors of four houses standing at the glossade of the airfield (on the run of take -off and reduction of aircraft. - SR) . And the rest is to complete. The developer volunteered to perform work, but was later declared bankrupt . And today, Dolgrav continues to rot in the open air.

This is already a shed, not a house, it makes no sense to finish building

- My house stands just in the glidead, and the third, the upper floor was supposed to be disassembled. But now the house is in terrible condition, mold, everything flows. This is already a shed, not a house, it makes no sense to finish building. The governor promised us at the last meeting that the issue would be resolved with DOSAAF, but so far we have no information, ”said Irina Shaulskaya.

Why did the district administration twice gave a plot for development, where it is impossible to build in principle? According to Sergei Mashchenko, the requirements of the law were simply ignored:

- According to the law, in the Asaerodrome territory, all construction within a radius of 30 km should be agreed with the senior aviation chief of the airfield. These are federal aviation rules. In our Kaliningrad region, these federal laws are spitting: they build where they want without coordinating anything. And the construction continues.

Why will the Guryevsk administration not be held accountable?

According to equity holders, they were made "extreme. None of the officials were responsible for this.

- We are bona fide acquirers, concluded a contract legally, all permits were. Why will the administration of Guryevsk, which issued a building permit, will not be held accountable? Why, from August 2014, until July 2015, the house was built and the prosecutor's office did not pay any attention to this? There was no control, and everyone entered into contracts at this time. It would be possible to avoid this. Why the Rosreestr did not answer - they checked the legality of transactions. Why Sberbank did not answer - he also gave mortgage loans, - says Loster Marianna Petrov a.

To date, only 19 equity holders returned invested funds from insurance. The rest cannot do this due to bankruptcy of the insurance company.

Skyscrapers on the glidead

Soon, another microdistrict will appear south of the airfield-with 30-story houses. The company "Avangardinvestproekt" is building a Russian European microdistrict here, and also in the Aerodrome zone. By agreement with the authorities, the company arranged for the 2018 World Cup for the 2018 World Cup, in return, having received the right to build up a land plot when the need for parking is falling away. And in order for the construction of housing on an area of 20.3 hectares it became possible, in August the regional authorities made appropriate changes to the rules of land use and development of Kaliningrad.

In the 30s, a record ANT-25 landed here, piloted by Valery Chkalov

-Around the airfield and even at the glidead they want to stick a 30-story building. The plane on the other side is landing and will not be able to fly up in that direction, ”says Sergey Mashchenko.

Recently, Governor Alikhanov said that Devau is almost not used for its intended purpose, the infrastructure is in disrepair, and it is simply dangerous to have an airfield within the city.

“Any technical malfunction of the aircraft will inevitably lead to a fall into a densely populated area,” he explained.

Meanwhile, the 100-year-old Devau is an object of cultural heritage of local significance. One of the first civilian airports in the world, it was opened on the outskirts of Koenigsberg in 1919. It was through Devau that the first regular civil transportation in Europe was carried out. Since 1922, through Koenigsberg, the first Moscow-Berlin air route in the USSR, which was served by the Fockers of the joint Soviet-German airline, Druelift, ran through the USSR.

- These were the first international civil flights in Europe. A lot of celebrities have visited here-from Yesenin and Mayakovsky, ending with all our party leaders of that period, ”says Vladislav Sharamkin , pilot of civil aviation, pilot DOSAAF. -In the 1930s, a record ANT-25 landed here, piloted by Valery Chkalov, landed here. The story is interesting, and it is unfortunate that the efforts of the regional authorities can be turned into a construction site.

After the war, Devau was used as a civilian airfield of Kaliningrad. We also flew in the region - to Svetlogorsk and Sovetsk. In the 1960s, the civilian airport was transferred to Khrabrovo, 20 km from Kaliningrad, where a concrete runway was built for taking large aircraft. Devau became a reserve. And in the late 1980s, it was transferred to the regional branch of DOSAAF. In the aero club, they began to teach parachute sports.

- In those days, there were 50-60 children here, there were free jumps. Many of my students went to the airborne troops, there are military pilots, deck aircraft, ”says Talgat Kurmanaev , pilot-instructor.

Now only one building remains from the complex of buildings of the airport. But the soil runway is in excellent condition.

- In any weather, even after snow and rains, the airfield quickly comes into normal state. Here drainage systems are two -story. And at least a week will be rain, after two to three days you can take off from the soil, ”Kurmanaev notes.

This summer, a air show dedicated to the centenary of the airfield took place on Devau. Almost fifty small aircraft and helicopters from Russia and European countries flew here. On ordinary days, parasplaners fly on Devau, and pupils of the city sports glider school are trained. The exercises of the border and the Ministry of Emergencies are held here, small aircraft planes are set.

But the AN-2 DOSAAF aircraft last climbed into the air from Devau seven years ago.

The Ministry of Defense spends a lot of money on the promotion of patriotism and imitation of caring for veterans

Now they stand lifelessly on the territory. The wings are torn on the wings, the wings themselves are bent. The club found money for the repair of only one aircraft, it should return to the sky this year.

Previously, DOSAAF was fully funded by the state, now the organization on self -sufficiency and barely survives.

- The Ministry of Defense spends a lot of money on the promotion of patriotism and an imitation of caring for veterans. Parks "Patriot" are being built, they drag the skeletons of aircraft, some kind of dancing on the bones are arranged. And real actions aimed at training by aviation and sports sports, to occupy young people, are not carried out. Training in KamAZ or UAZ management is the maximum that DOSAAF can offer, the pilots are indignant.

Meanwhile, it is precisely such airfields as Devau-with a high-quality “take-off” within the city-they develop small aircraft around the world, says instructor, instructor Alexei Rassadkin .

Break the airfield, and then invest billions to create it somewhere?

- In Lithuania on small aircraft, they fly from Kaunas to Vilnius, solve problems during the day. In the West, there are now a huge number of private aircraft. After a while, this will arise with us. Aircraft will be bought by just rich people who are now making decisions. And where to put them? In Chernyakhovsk, Ozersk? You need to go there for half a day. Or on Devau, within the city, ”says Rassadkin. - And imagine: the same Alikhanov has an airplane - after 15 minutes he is in Ozersk. I solved the problem, returned. Even from this point of view-break the airfield, and then invest billions to create it somewhere?

For a small Kaliningrad region, where good roads are far from everywhere, small aircraft would be an excellent solution. Moreover, a German airfield network has been preserved in the region. Some of the airfields belong to the Ministry of Defense, part is abandoned, but if desired, the network can be easily restored, pilots say.

The authorities promise after the closure of the airfield to maintain its runway as a historical monument. But the pilots do not believe these promises.

“Then they will remove the status of the monument and build up and the strip too - this, with our disobedience attitude to the law, is quite possible,” says Mashchenko.

- We have long been clear to us: all this is done in the interests of a particular group of people who have money. They will leave some kind of scrap, they will say that this is a historical piece of the airfield, and everything else will go if not for development, then for landscaping, ”says Sharamkin.

As a result, DOSAAF this fall filed a lawsuit with a request to recognize the changes introduced by the authorities in the rules of land use in the area of the airfield illegal. And the injured equity holders continue to sue construction companies and go to rallies. Governor Alikhanov, meanwhile, promised that after the airfield closing in the territory of Devau, a branch of Patriot Park will appear, that "a new life would breathe into the territory."
