Because of many people living around the airport are complaining about the noise, the airport authority had to make a detailed concept of runway usage. It is listed in the following table. Of course changes can be made because of reasons like weather, so I recommend listening to the ATIS (128.525) before going spotting.
<table border="1" width="600">
<tr><td width="300"><b>Weekdays (Mo-Fr)</b></td><td width="400"><b>Weekend, public holidays in southern Germany</b></td></tr>
<tr><td><table width="300" border="1"><tr><td width="100">06.00-07.00</td><td>Landing Rwy34<br>Departure Rwy32</td></tr>
<tr><td>07.00-21.00</td><td>Landing Rwy14<br>Departure Rwys 16&28</td></tr>
<tr><td>21.00-00.30</td><td>Landing Rwy28<br>Departure Rwys32&34</td></tr></table></td>
