Hello, and welcome back to Places - Lost in Time, a series that looks back on the tale of places and locations that have existing within living memory or photographic record, but are now lost to the pages of history.

Today, we venture to southern Germany, where in the capital of the historic state of Bavaria, what is now a widespread exhibition area and business park, once played host to one of the nation's most important gateways, the long dismantled Munich-Riem Airport.

Munich-Riem emerged during the dark days of World War II, with the post-war economic miracle of West Germany's rebuilding seeing this facility become a major artery for flights into this vital part of the country, though within only two decades of its opening, the fate of the airport was sealed following a series of horrendous crashes, leading to work beginning on a brand new airport away from the urban area, and the field at Riem being put on borrowed time.
