Pilot planned a flight to Poland with a fuel stop near Berlin. On approach there he noticed to be unable to extend the landing gear. He returned to Rotenburg/Wümme (where is a workshop and he had been familiar with the airfield). He performed a belly landing an the adjacent grass runway with minor damage. See enclosed photo. A crane lifted the aircraft and a mechanic of the workshop lowered the gear, so that it could taxi to the workshop- Repaired.
