Army Kaserne Logs
An interesting web-site for those who've ever served in USAREUR.
Army Kaserne Logs
United States Army Kasernes in Germany. We are trying to list each kaserne that was and still is located in Germany so everyone can get into contact with each other. Never can tell, you might run into an old friend you haven’t seen in a few years. Find your kaserne on the list to the left. If you don’t see your kaserne listed there, let us know and it will be added.

Ilesheim! What a nightmare.
Only kaserne I know of where the three strands of barb wire on top of the fence were turned inward, so you couldn't get out.

Nice reminder of my time in Germany. So much area has gone back to the Germans. My last visit there, we still had the R&R facility at Chiemsee; understand that has gone back as well. I was stationed about 60K south of Koblenz, and the same distance west of Mainz. Four days after arrival, I was using an English-German dictionary to settle terms on renting a house. The landlord lived next door, and spoke perfect English, I discovered a bit later. That I went through the trouble to negotiate in German won me points, and probably shaved a few bucks off the rent. I could have punched him after he slapped me on the back and said, " you did pretty good Capt.". It was a great tour. Thanks for the reminder.

North? Wiesbaden (most likely) or - maybe - Hahn?

I remember the first day I got to Illesheim, they were putting concertina around the catwalk that went up a red and white 140-foot tower because some FNG got so depressed from being there that he committed suicide by jumping off.
17 of the grunts in my new company were on profile because of frostbitten feet.
I got into two fistfights my first 48 hours there.
The one good thing about that hellhole was that I went in as a SP4 and came out SSG when 5/6ths of my tour was completed.
(Not to mention the jaegerschnitzel and bier down at Dietz' Gasthaus. )

I was at Patch Barracks HQUSEUCOM but Saturday afternoons were usually spent drinking beer and eating schnitzel sandwiches at the Post Exchange at Robinson Barracks. If I remember correctly it was the biggest and best in USAREUR. Drinking at Panzer was fun too when elements of the 1st Infantry Division were there. The best NCO Club in the greater Stuttgart area was at Patch. Being that I was a young MP at the time I had all kinds of fun there, especially on weekend nights.

If you went to Wurzburg or Nuremburg and they found out you were from Illeshiem, they'd ask you "so how's the ewe and lambs?"

I was at Flint Kaserne in Bad Tölz, the US Embassy in Bonn-Plittersdorf, and Sembach AFB near Kaiserslautern. Nobody was feeling sorry for me.

Thank You for such a cool site. I was at Miesau from 1992 - 1999. I hope to connect with some old friends.
