Müritz Airpark (IATA: REB, ICAO: EDAX), previously known as Rechlin–Lärz Airfield, is an airfield in the village of Rechlin, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany.
The airport was once part of the Third Reich era's Luftwaffe main testing ground, or Erprobungsstelle for new aircraft designs, which was centered on two large turf areas some 4.5 km (2.8 mi) due north (at 53°20′48.11″N 12°44′23.25″E / 53.3466972°N 12.7397917°E) of the 21st century era paved-runway airport facility.
The modern airport is not used for scheduled traffic but is still open for general aviation. It is also home to other leisure activities such as the Fusion Festival.
