Late last night I heard a big noise from the EDLW airport (about 4km away).
Normally at that time of the day the airport is closing down.
D-AGWR had to abort the first landing attempt and probably had to put on full thrust to climb for the second approach.
Still trying to find out what happened.

Most Go Arounds are caused by runway obstacles, such as an aircraft not clearing.
Same situation today - same aircraft, same flight, only approching from the west instead of from the east.
Just wonder if it was the same pilot ;D
Weather is clear, with little wind.

It might be crew training. If you look at my screenshots in "Reus Airspace", you'll see Vueling and Lufthansa doing similar things at the weekend.
That could be a possibility - Lufthansa does do crew training at EDLW but not with jets only small propeller craft (see a previous post of mine).
However acording to the GermanWings flight plan this is a scheduled flight !
Maybe it is as Anmer suggested but two times in a row would be pretty bad.
Yesterday a lot of private planes were flying around.
Only very few have Mode-S transponders.
Does German Wings have a scheduled arrival that matches the callsign and time?
This is a anapshot from their webpage.
Acording to that the flight 4U4599 should land at 17:00.
My last screenshot was at 17:11.
Why VRS and PP show the flightnumber as GWI4N is a mystery to me.
Searched other sites (e.g. libhomeradar, Flightaware,..) for more information but no luck there.
Edit : Finally got the english flightplan

Maybe because that was the Flight ID entered in the FMS and transmitted by the aircraft in the message.
Today the flight was carried out by a different plane : D-AGWD.
And it landed on their first approach !
It is rather strange becase the other plane D-AGWR is (was ?) based in Dortmund and does the daily runs to Munich and London.
