Darmstadt, Germany 2 of 2

[@25Yanks]

Was there 62 to 65. Worked at the 4th Medical Dispensary just outside the front gates. Your video actually showed the windows to my room. We lived on the second floor. Many nights spent walking back up that hill after a night downtown. Thanks so much and "God Bless America".

[@dougdunlap5889]

i was stationed at dispensary 69-71

[@DouglasLawnService]

We lived in Lincoln Village,we were there in 1975, my dad was Sgt. over the Motor Pool. His name was Raymond L. Fowler, some called him gator because he was from Florida. I watch this video over and over again, I can remember the stairs that lead to the basement. We use to keep our bicycles in the storage area and that is where the mom's would wash and dry clothes. We lived in the apt. building in front of the open field where the carnival was set up every year. Lots of memories, thank for sharing!

pumpkin Seed Designs We came over in 76. We didn't have base housing. We lived on the economy

[@Whitebacon]

The Darmstadt Dragons! I remember that yellow structure thing on the school. I went there for Kindergarten and 1st grade from 87-89.

[@jballreich]

Thank you for posting. brought back lots of great memories. I was there from 92-96. I went to that new school you showed. It was Darmstadt Elem School. It was such a nice building. So sad to see it all shut down.

[@2112bangkok]

You made my day sir! We lived in the same building block as you but on the other end. My brother and I would go to the brotchen store and get the best bread ever and some fizzy lemonade from the grumpy old lady at the counter. That family's yard was full of garden gnomes. The baseball field, the school, the AYA, playing marbles... awesome! You were right about the ditch along the way to the AYA because I busted my head on the ice on that hill. Thanks for showing that for all of us - ? - 72!

[@peswv49]

I was there 70-71.Army. Worked in the dispensary pharmacy and lived on the 2nd floor. Had the good fortune to eat in the Air Force mess hall. Thanks for posting these videos.

[@jessicasuggs666]

[@skylaellis]

I went to that school! :) we used to go behind the school to see the germans gardening, It was beautiful. Thank U for this

[@mernrogers]

Thanks so much for posting these vids. We were stationed there from 89 to 94. Great childhood memories! Loved seeing my old elementary school, or rather, the new one as you called it. Its very odd to see it abandoned. I believe it closed down in 2008. I hope to take a trip down memory lane and take my husband back there one day. Thanks again for posting.

[@user-nf5ix5jr9s]

Great memories. Lived in building 4435 C2 from1967-69. Best bröchen ever. There was a candy store nearby also...

[@denniswendel1040]

It is very sad that the americans are all gone...i live in a small village next to Darmstadt and AS long AS i can remember america and his soldiers With families belonged to darmstadt...now Theres a whole and many lost places which were once full of life...i never thought that the Bases in Darmstadt would be closed one day

[@denniswendel1029]

@Paul Oldfield cambrai Fritsch kaserne is nearly completely teared Down...only 5 buildings are still standing , its planned to create a NEW area with them...Nathan hale Depot is now Part of the doehler concern...all former military buildings have been demolished, the old buildings of kelley barracks are still standing along the eschollbrücker Straße....the former memory field is now Used by a private Sport club

[@denniswendel1029]

@Paul Oldfield But the american way of life and the German american friendship Partys is still missing by many people....and everytime you drive by the old barracks with friends or Family someone is always saying...hey can you remember at this event...or do you still know how......we liked the people and the way of life the us military brought in our Country...

[@rachelwilliams431]

Many memories there 81-83. I remember many times walking through those woods with my two children, one on my hip. We loved it there! It is very sad to see it abandoned! Thank you for sharing your video!

[@davidshoe6655]

Thanks so much. I was there 1970-1972, then moved to Augsburg. It was great to see the ballfields, the German gardens and the walk up the hill to the Kaserne. I jumped that fence many a time to go to the movies, spacebar and rod and gun.

[@prolifeunity]

Lived in that area from 61 - 80. Came to America after high school, Frankfurt. Kindergarten in the MP building, junior high down in Lincoln Village.

[@usctrojans001]

My middle Son Jeff learned to Ride a Bike in Jefferson Village back in 1989. Good Times!

[@PinkMartiniAZ]

I lived there in the very early '80s. I laughed when you said you had a wart removed at the dispensary. I got stitches there from when a dog bit me.... in good ole Lincon Village. I'm so sad these bases have closed.

[@connielong908]

Played in those woods, riding bikes! Used to help walk the horses when the carinval/rodeo would come.(1976-78)

[@EllaSol]

Wow. Glad you posted this. We were there from 88-91 in 4411 at Lincoln Village. They built the skate park next to the school during our stay, skateboarding was huge back then. It was cool to see you go across the bridge that was over the highway as we spent a lot of time back there in the woods. Like the others here, its a bit sad to see it abandoned.

[@douglasmissfeldt8176]

We used to go to Carl;s just outside of gate ,67 great food and drink

[@crawlspaceguy]

THANKS. Left there 29 years ago but still recognized some of the buildings. Looks like they spent some money after I left. lol.

[@ericbohannon4044]

EntrE01 that is sad! There was an open German-American club called the Kontact club that would have let you in !

[@redbarthel]

The buildihngs you identified as bachlor quarters were actually Jefferson village. The bachlor quarters were further down that road past the chapel. Great shots though . Was with the AF there Jun 59 - June 62 and Sept 71 to middle 72 when we moved to Augsburg.

[@mr.electrik7332]

I lived in Jefferson Village, close to the back gate of CFK. How sad to see it all closed. (1972-1976) went to High school in Frankfort.

[@Sonncee]

thanks for posting this man this brings back so many memories

[@redbarthel]

If you vwre only 10 at the time, you did a great job remembering what you did. My son was 11 and my daughter was 10 when I was stationed there 71-72 and then Augsburg 72-73. I emailed them the address for your video to see if they remember any of it. Thanks again.

I recognized so many things. Have a lump in my throat. Unbelievable that it is no more. Saw an OLD lady with a cane. At the time we were there, she was young and so was I. Let's see...was that just yesterday?

[@ericbohannon4044]
