I was stationed at Belfast Barracks from 1985 - 1st Batt Royal Irish Rangers 7 platoon B Coy then Signal Platoon. I bought my first car in Osnabruck a Gold Opel Manta (3000 deutsche marks) which I did my driving test in as I was never in the UK long enough to get driving lessons. I was surprised they knocked the camp down due to it's long history and solid buildings. I remember the weekly run round the near by lake, and helping out in the battery store next to the REME, this is what set me on the course to become an engineer which I greatly enjoy. I drive past Osnabruck several times a year it is pleasant to see the autobahn sign Osnabruck.

Quebec Barracks is a housing estate now, the blocks at Roberts on the Nette Heide are still standing. One is a cop shop and part of land is Caffe Perfekt. Last time i was back was 2019.

I was stationed at Roberts Barracks from 1972 - 1975 with the Royal Engineers. Probably the best 5 years of my life, sleeping under a cam net in the MT yard all day and chasing the Fraeuleins every night until one finally nailed me down. Now only the memories remain.

I understood that our old RHQ block 20,the first on the left inside the main gates was still there ? I was there in the early 1950s but have been back many times.
@jokgoo Жыл бұрын
It was very hard to get any bearings, so it's hard to say which blocks were the ones left standing. I had worked in Quebec Bks and couldn't work out where they had been. My husband worked at Roberts, so a drive I made every day (down the backroads) between the 2 Bks wasn't traceable either.

Hello. I was stationed in Osnabruck for three years, I arrived Easter 1966. I was at Scarborough Bks ( Kaprivi Kaserna) which is now the Osnabruck Uni. Some KZbin film of the old buildings are great but the vehicle parks and POL points etc are all gone. I couldn’t find any reference to the Old Onsnabruck of my time. Have you any idea where I might find some. Oh and I was in 15Sqn RCT, we had Ten Ton AECs, or knockers as they were known. Fantastic vehicles and a fantastic posting. I went to Sennelager after this.

@@frankie_s_world Hello. Yep, correct. I only recognise parts near the Opera House, even the pub that was beside the monument of a miner under a waterfall is still there but so so different. A Goggle Earth search shows the roads around the old camp almost the same, especially the back way in that used to be the main entrance and guard room prior to 1965. But as you say the whole area has changed beyond recognition. I loved Osnabruck, it was several classes above Sennelagar and Paderborn.

If you want to get more information on this, Viscountess of Hinchingbrooke a.k.a. American Viscountess has done a whole five part series of this including these hedges. It absolutely captivated me as a Canadian with our ties to the UK. She married into the Montague family and they no longer live at Hinchingbrooke as they had to sell it in the 50s. They live in “England’s finest manor house” Mapperton. There is an explanation about the hedges which has something to do with an elephant leaping over. Yes there are ghosts.
