Harvey Barracks 2022

I was stationed at Harvey Barracks, Kitzingen, "West Germany" in the late '80s. Before the fall of "the Wall". I last visited Harvey Barracks upon my return from Desert Shield/Desert Storm, in 1991. My next visit was this video, taken in August of 2022, 31 years later.

Thank you for the memories I lived over in kitzingen from 69 to 73 my dad was stationed at Harvey barracks and I used to go over there there used to be a music room where you could go play musical instruments and me and my friends in a couple soldiers and Air Force men formed a band and if it looks different to you now it must really look different to me but once again thank you for the memories and God bless you and your family

[@DerUnbbekante]

Both of my parents are from West Berlin. My dad told me many stories about the German-American Volksfests and more. That manifested in an interest in ex US infrastructure in Germany. A couple of years ago, I lived in Kitzingen and took multiple trips to old US Barracks and Air Basis in the area. Very interesting to get some first hand experience after all those years. Thank you.

When you went thru that small tunnel way, those small windows on the left wall was my room. Having the last name of Murphy, I had a lot to live up to, being it was (Audie Murphy's) old unit. Thank you so much, for this post. It brings back proud & found memories to me.

[@19D48D3]

I can't tell you how many times I walked through that breezeway in my 2 years there. It was the shortcut to the phone booths over by BN HQ. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Tim, what have you been up to lately?

[@briangale404]

I lived in the same barracks you did while I was waiting for command sponsor. You have a good memory because I wouldn't remember where the day room was

[@19D48D3]

I grew up on a farm in eastern KY so this was about as different and foreign as could be. It's hard to forget something so pivotal in my life.

[@prichardgs]

I was there 1985-1990.

[@chichijima4257]

I was there in 1982…Larson Barracks.

[@BeverlyHuffman-oo3cu]

I was there 1982-1984 husband was with the 212 MP unit

[@danielallard6560]

You are correct about the Maint building. It use to be the full time shop and everyone had to ground guide from the upper motor pool then it became the wheels when the new upper motor pool was finished. I was there 86-90.

[@19D48D3]

Your name sounds familiar. Who were you assigned to?

[@danielallard6560]

[@19D48D3]

@@danielallard6560 then you probably remember Osbourne from Kentucky. Tall, glasses, was assigned to an 88 as far as I can remember. He was there 89 and was still there when I was transferred for Desert Shield/Storm in 90.

[@GourdGospel]

34 years not too much. 60 years for me.

[@phlipperbrooks129]

God that brings back memories. Was E co 1/15th '87 to '89.

[@19D48D3]

We had some overlap time there. I'm sure we ran into each other at some point. I've got an unlisted video if you're interested.

[@phlipperbrooks129]

@19D48D3 Definitely interested. Thnx brother.

[@briangale404]

I was there from 1998 to 2001. Except it was 1st ID then. I was in B 701st MSB. Fun fun fun. Oh year...and I lived at Marshall Hieghts

Small world indeed. Glad you liked it.

[@jimdougherty2933]

I was stationed at Harvey Barracks from May 1960 to Jan 1963,68th Armor Bn, 3rd ID, Echo Company. Berlin Wall Era.

[@jammerstud99]

My old duty station. I remember it just the way you described it...

[@Corner72]

Watched the change in about '99, the gates were guarded, the army personelle fearful and careful towards local visitors. Before that, locals could pass thru the Facilities whenever they wanted. Then around the turn of the millennium the public coexistence between the Americans and the local Germans ended. It was a sad development to watch

[@denisepansegrau7487]

My husband Rainer Pansegrau remembers you and all the others you mentioned. He was probably an old timer

[@19D48D3]

Holy cow! I can't believe you're married to Pansegrau!! He was awesome. Him and his roommate Linton.

[@wampusscat181]

Was there, dependent, from early 86 to late 88. Husband was Cpt Don Kessler. 1/64-69 . He was the B Mo, then Co of Bravo , killed at Hohenfelds 20 Nov 88.

I was with the 3rd aviation co. from 4/60 to 10 62. You didn't get to the runway. I guess it's been demo'd. Great video

[@19D48D3]

It's still there, just most of it is covered in solar panels.

[@charlesgoracke3190]

I was 203rd until decomitioned in 91

[@user-td8fq7wg4d]

Thanks for sharing. I was in C 1/15 from May 1985 to Dec 1987. We are headed back there in 10 days. I was there in 2015 but didn't get over to Harvey Barracks.

[@19D48D3]

I wish I had more than 2 hours to poke around there. Would've loved to find some old haunts downtown and maybe even walk around Kloster Forst a bit. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@tennray]

Was there when 1/15 moved and DISCOM moved in that last barracks you were pointin at was where I was in Bco 703d as a wheel mechanic.

[@19D48D3]

I've often wondered what it was like after I left. (Desert Storm) I was in the first group to leave while the unit was in a deactivation status. Almost everyone was gone by the time we returned in July 1991.

[@timmorris245]

I remember it well during the mid 70s. 11E10

Are the buildings and office in use now? My parents were stationed here 95-99 we lived in Marshall Heights I loved living there 😢

[@19D48D3]

Some of the buildings are occupied now, some not. They are turning Harvey into a "Technology Center". They were also housing a lot of Ukrainian refugees when I was there.

So sad it is a ghost town

[@scotturban4580]

Dude I was in headquarters and bravo 1983 to 1984. We just were getting the Bradley. Where you showed the temporary CP was where our little ass mess hall was in 1983/84. No combined dining yet. Curious if Beno's was still open when u were there

[@19D48D3]

Maybe not. I don't know what Beno's was. Any more details to help my old memory?!?

[@scotturban4580]
