The new team of the Fliegerwerkstatt
Our team has changed this year after Dirk Dreissen left the Fliegerwerkstatt after more than four years.
Social pedagogue Patrick Peinhopf has been on board since February. He completed a manual apprenticeship as a production mechanic before starting his studies.
