Völkenrode is a quarter of Braunschweig, Lower Saxony, Germany. Völkenrode, formerly a municipality on its own and part of the district of Braunschweig, was incorporated into the city of Braunschweig in 1974.^[1] Today, it is part of the Stadtbezirk Lehndorf-Watenbüttel.

During the Second World War, it was home to the Luftfahrtforschungsanstalt (Aeronautical Research Institute, LFA), a secret facility for airframe, aeroengine, and aircraft weapons testing.^[2]

Völkenrode, and the LFA, were visited postwar by the British Ministry of Aircraft Production survey team, headed by Sir Roy Fedden.^[3] Today, the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt and the former Federal Agricultural Research Centre are located on the former LFA site.
