The Airport has been closed for General Aviation in 2000 but there still is a runway for the local gliding club. Details of the new runway are listed here http://www.lsg-rheinstetten.de/index.php/segelfluggelaende-rheinstetten
The Airport itself does not have an IATA Code anymore. But it would be nice if it could be added again as it still exists.

Thanks for revised coordinates. If this is not located on the exact same runway as he previous (closed) airport, we probably shouldn't use the same ICAO.
From the site you linked it doesn't seem like the airfield has an ICAO. Please suggest one based on the guidelines on the NOTAMs page under "24 June".

I would suggest either XEDTK or XEDRS (RS for Rheinstetten)

The Airport is also shown here on a German VFR ICAO Map
