Abstract: Abstract The former military airfield, today the startkLahr Airport & Business Park Raum Lahr with its 600 ha lies in the border triangle of Switzerland, France and Germany. The region of Lahr is situated in the south-west of Germany where the intermodal traffic link of the future trans-European Transport Network is available: rail, waterway, road and airway. The city of Lahr and the development agency IGZ/startkLahr have commissioned a feasibility study, co-financed by the European Union, researching the potential of the combination from area and transport infrastructure and the establishment of a multimodal node in Lahr. This study analyzes the framework, the added value and the impacts of a multimodal logistics service centre in the starkLahr Airport & Business Park Raum Lahr. The analysis focuses on three main issues: a) Analysis of the market potential including a competitor analysis and an analysis of the potentially qualified area b) Economic effects in the region c) Analysis of a qualified operator model, layout model and operational concept The quantitative analysis comes to the conclusion that the installation of an intermodal logistics terminal in the startkLahr Airport & Business Park is realizable. From the perspective of the economy, the study predicts an added value for the whole region resulting from the terminal operation and the improved regional logistics service.
