Yes, that is weird. There is a village right in middle of the airport. So it's no surprise the number of inhabitants is shrinking each year. Once a thriving village with 537 inhabitants in 1950, they were down to 119 in 2006 [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kursdorf_%28Schkeuditz%29 (Wikipedia)]. It might be a little loud with the two runways, highway and express railways, but the transport links, hey ... The village is modelled in the scenery. | Yes, that is weird.

We all use the [[mpmap]] ans what we see (in April 2010) is a little confusing: The southern runway in the [http://mpmap02.flightgear.org/?ll=51.422627429834215,12.236020661585117&z=14&t=s&fg_server=mpserver02:5000,mpserver02.flightgear.org,5001&update_interval=5&pilot_label=always&icon_mode=normal old satellite image] doesn't match the Airport layout in FlightGear. Well, FlightGear is right, Google Maps isn't. A few years ago, the southern runway was set parallel to the northern one. There are now two 08/26.
