Airship Association of Munster and Munsterland
The Luftschiffahrtsverein Münster für Münster und das Münsterland or Airship Association for Munster and Munsterland was founded in Munster, Germany, on 18 Oct. 1909. It appears to have been one of the founding members of the Nordwestdeutsche Vereinigung fur Luftschiffahrt (NWD VFL) or Northwest German Union for Aerial Navigation at Osnabruck on 10 Jan. 1910.
Initial officers included Goebels, chairman; Fels, vice chairman; Koene, 1st secretary; Berrenberg, 2nd secretary; and Coste, treasurer. In 1910, there were 198 members. The association owned one free balloon and used the Stadtisches Gasanstalt (Municipal Gasworks) at Munster as its balloon place. It also used the Military exercise place Loddenjeide near Munster as a flight place.
