I was stationed at W.O. Darby Kaserne Furth. I was in Co A 793 M.P. 1955-57. Have many happy memories of my time in Germany.

I've included my car club site for pictures. This is terrific! :-) I have been following another site on Nurnberg/Furth and the Nurnberg MILCOM. I am now with DPW, Ft. Campbell, KY as a DA Civilian. I was at Darby as the Installation Coordinator from 1987 to 1990. Great place, great people and I hope to hear from some of them. I stay in touch with both German and American friends from there. Sure wish they would have given back Baumholder or some place similar instead of the ten Mbg MILCOM facilities!
Met my wife, Kerstin, there at Furth.
Best wishes to all,

My name has changed now to Sunny(which I was known as) Blackmore. I was in 614th Maint. From Feb '80 until about May '81. I was a truck driver with the unit and I loved it. There were no women in the German Army and not even a few women driving trucks in civillian life...it was wonderful A great ego booster. I would love to hear from anyone that was in the same unit I was in. I loved my time there. :-)

What a great website. I was stationed in the 42nd HEM at Darby from 1973 until 1976. Married a great german gal 30 years ago from Nurnberg. I would like to hear from anyone else in the 303rd Maint. Bn. or anyone who was a member of the Nurnber ski club. Those were some great times :-)

:-) What a great site. Loved the stroll down memory land. Stationed at HQ 3/5th FA from '84-'86 and enjoyed every minute. Sislo, Knudsen, Burris, Ruiz, Mercado, Cuzmono, Drawhon, Mason, where you at?! Nothing like a summer day spent with good friends at the dikes and nights checking out the action at the Green Goose! Anyone from that time/place drop me a line!

I was stationed in Merrell from 1972 to 1978 in the 182nd Maint. Co. I recognize some of the name in here. I married a great German girl 33 years ago and now we live in Fl. but we go back every year to visit. BOY HAS IT CHANGED OVER THE YEARS. The memories are great though.

I was assigned to the 10th AHB, which deactivated sometime in 1987 or 88; I was a 67Y (Cobra Crewchief). HHT 1/1 CAV in Katterbach was the new unit name. The Apaches (AH-64) came to Illeshiem before the 10th AHB disbanned. SFC Mathis (retired before 10th AHB disbanned)he was the platoon NCOIC; SGT Carlos Herrerra was my squad leader. A top notch test-pilot WO-4 took me on my first testflight and I experienced my first auto-rotation. The C.O. overtorqued a few times, which kept us busy. I overcame some issues and left the Army with Honor. It was an honor serving my country in the 10th AHB and 1/1 CAV.

Cause, i'm pregnant from an american soldier.
Now my problem is, that he moved back to the states and i just find out that i'm pregnant.
So he dont know that hes havin a baby soon.
i dont have any address or telephone number. i just know his name, where he was based in germany , his birthday, and that his grandma is livin in germany.
So my problem is, that i dont know how i can contact him, should i go to the Army ?
If somebody reading this message, who could help me out Please write me a message. Its not the fact that i want his money or whatever i just wanna stay in contact with him, and that he maybe one day can see his son or his daughter.
Because i think that my baby should know his Daddy.

Hi i love the webpage... I got a question does anyone here have a number to like a Military Lodging place in the Nuernberg Area? Something we can rent cheap while i`m visiting with my Son from Nov 10th to the 22nd 2006 if you know a good reasonable place email me please at ElkeEason@yahoo.com thanks!!!!! i really appreciate it..I`m a retired Army Wife :)

wow what a great fiind, love this site, Any FA guys out there? Anyone know what happened to Arthur Uble my mentor with the Further Klieblot Klub
Fashing club form Furth? I was one of two Americans in the club and boy what memories. I also spent time as custodial agent at Nato 12 (guy inside fence) To those who i got mad at and called an alert my most sincerest appologies( we had to call one per trip, but at our drescrition) Also have spent time at greffenwohr tent city Cheb, Kasserene, and Achen though I understand there are no more tents there.
looking for any information or to hear or tell stories of Merrell barracks, Kalb Housing (old address was 38 Gerhart Haupman strasse) funny what you remember and if possible the where - abouts of Ron and Kathy Dubisky (neighbors) can't remember what unit he was with. Anyone German or American that remembers Sgt Bagby or "Charlie" to his german friends, please drop me a line look forward to trips down memory lane (for those who were wondering, I did get married again, one son stationed in Germany, transfered to Iraq, wonded in Bagdad got out working for family busness)

:-) Gerald was stationed at WOD from 1985 to 1986 then at Pinder Barracks from then on until 1988 when we PCS's to Ft Sill Ok. I worked for 6/14th in the S-4 and then in the S-1 for the three years we were there. Loved it. Would like to find those who we each worked with during that time and say HI!

Looking for anyone who might remember me I was a Army Brat. Knew lots of different people from different bases. Hung out at the Golden Gate, Marilins. E mail me :p

I served at William O. Darby Kaserne from 1976 to 1979 in the 127th AG Det. (Postal), doing a multitude of jobs. My fondest memory was when I was a courier. Every night at 7pm, a driver from 1st Trans.at Johnson Barracks would meet me at the Base Post Office (Johnson Barracks). We would hook up to a trailer-load of mail that we hauled up to Offenbach. From there, we went to Reine-Main AFB and dropped a trailer there. We would eat midnight chow at the mess hall (man, those Air Force people really knew how to eat!), and retrace our steps all the way back to Nurnberg. I lived in Bldg. 41 on Darby Kaserne. Great, great memories.

I have been coming to wonderful Nurnberg every other year, for a trade show,for the past twenty five years. Every year about this time, I begin to look forward to my trip with great anticipation. I always buy any US Military a round of beers whenever and wherever I see them. But there are less and less every year. And that's probably a good thing, over all. Hope to raise a Tucher with you all.
Cheers,
TS

:-) I am very happy to be finding so many sites that are on the internet just to help us re-connect. I am a former Army Brat. We lived at the Furth Housing Area from 1983-1985. I have to say that my time in Nurnberg was the best time of my life! I am looking to re-connect with some old friends as well as make some new ones! I hope to hear from some of you! If anyone knows anything about Jesse Whitehead (who would have been born around 70-72 or so) PLEASE let me know or tell him to contact me! We were in school together in Germnay and then at Fort Stewart (Hinesville), GA!

STATIONED W.O. DARBY K MARCH 1979-SEPT 1981

69th Chemical Company at Monteith Baracks from 81 to 84. Anyone remember the pink church across the street from Haupt Bahnhoff in Nurnberg? Strange place. One day my friend Giuseppe Saia took a picture of this huge punk rock chick while she was walking out in front of the pink church. She walked over to him , took his camera and smashed it on the ground. I remember thinking to myself, I think Im going to like this place.

I was in the 556 Ord Co at Pinder Barracks which was in Zirndorf, Germany. I was there from 1962 to 1964. In 1964 I was TDY to the 517th Ord Det at Merrell Barracks in Nurnberg. I have many fond memories from both places. Nurnberg was a big city environment with many interesting places to visit, while Zirndorf was a small town environment with many very friendly people. I have a yahoo 360 page with many pictures both old and new that I have tried to gather for others who might be interested. I am also a member of a yahoo Pinder Barracks Group and A yahoo 556 Ord Co group. I am interested in finding anybody that shares any of these experiances.

I moved to W.O.Darby with the 1st Trans Co from Orleans France in 1964.I really don't remember the building number, but we were on the top floor,just above the floor for Turkish workers. They cooked all of their meals and stairwells always smelled like onions. Spent 2 weeks day and night making the barracks livable.No one had lived there in a long time. Left Darby in 1967 for Vietnam. I would love to hear from anyone at Darby during that time or after, especially First Truckers.

Stationed in Monteith Barracks 1968-69. Anyone remember the Soviets invading Czech. during our watch? How about Mom's guest house (German potato salad), at the end of the runway?

Served with C Troop 1/1 Cav at Schwabach from Sep 1977 to June 1980. I was in the GSR section. Remember vividly 1SG Vobelt (Big, Crazy, German born 1SG) and so many others. Was there on 1 December 1978 when 1/1 Cav took over Camp Pitman permanently. Made every border tour after that. Worked with a lot of guys from the GSR sections from the other battalions in the Division, so if you remember working with Charlie Troop during that time give me an e-mail. Same goes for the guys from the GSR Sections in the other Troops of 1/1 Cav. I'm going back in August of 2006 to see what's left of O'Brien Barracks. Also going to the Czech/German Border with a camera this time and not a rifle. Going to cross and take a picture of Germany from the Czech side. The way I see it we all did our part to make such a thing possible!

I was assigned to the 793rd MP in Fuerth, then spent my last 18 months TDY with the 569th Personnel Center at Merrell Barracks. I lived by the Tiergarten, and almost as soon as I was discharged, I wished I was back in Nuremberg.
I have returned 3 out of the last 4 years, revisiting old haunts (those that are still there) and hoping to run into old friends. I can retire next year, and plan on spending the summer in Bavaria, mainly Nuremberg.
I was stationed there in 72-74.

Guten Tag

We lived in Oberasbach. In my job I got to every kaserne and barracks in the Nbg community. Doing research for my autobiography and found this site. I hope it grows, and if anyone remembers me, drop me an e-mail.

:-) and :-(
I'm obviously very ambivalent about all this stuff. Having been drafted into Tricky Dicky's war at the tail-end in 1972 and then being stationed at the 130th General Hospital for 2 years of my young life has left me with scars, good memories, friends, lots of photos...whatever! I was a Medical Specialist (SP4), lived in the hospital's GI barracks, tried to play my trumpet and worked mostly in the OB/GYN and ICU/Newborn Nursery for the entire time that I was there. Therefore, if you had a child born there, or were yourself born there, I probably had some type of contact with you. Especially the males, since I performed, or assisted in performing almost all of the circumcisions ;-) I remember a great team of awesome, caring, loving! RN's there and a Sgt M. who always had a lot of Hypertension issues. The MD's there left me with the motivation to go on and pursue a career in medicine. Thanks to the GI Bill but only after UCLA, I became a Social Worker instead. So I feel I owe a lot of who I am, and what I do to my military experience. However, I am still bitter about having my music taken away. Yeah, I'm still a frustrated trumpet player, but am happy serving the Disabled who I work with. I'd love to speak with anyone who was at the 130th circa 72-75. Peace be with you always. Frans

Hello,
My name is Jenny and my father was stationed at the Nurnberg Army Hospital during his time served with the Army. While he was there he had written letters to the state officials from each American state requesting flags from their state to be sent to him. He gathered almost all of the flags and flagpoles and was scheduling these flags to be placed around the circular drive of the hospital. Well, before this project was completed, he was deployed back to the states, and has not been back to Germany since. We recently discovered that the hospital was torn down and my father was devastated, knowing that he would never be able to see the flags dispayed that he worked so hard to put there. If there is any way possible that you could locate pictures of the flags in the driveway for me, I would be so grateful. I have been looking everywhere, and so has my father. This would be the greatest Father's day gift ever, if I could show him photos of these flags. This means so much to him and now our whole family. Thank you for your time and consideration. I will await your response with great anticipation.
Thank you,
Jenny

Served in Schwabach with "B"Troop 2/15th Cavalry 1962-63 "B"Troop 2/4th Cavalry 1963-64 Those were the days my friends Bier,Snitzel,Mom's Place and Border Patrols! :cool:

I'm looking for anyone from 87th Chemical Company from 1990-1993. Send me a message.

I remember Pinder and the 156 MAINT Company I had a lot of fun there I also remember back in spring and summer of 1978 I was suppose to be at the 182 MAINT Company but I was in Washington DC I saw myself on the history channel its was film around the same time. If you think you know me it was a CID spy maybe that why I don’t remember anyone from 182, I loved Zirndorf its where I grow up. I remember going out every week end and talking to the old people there and understanding how they felt I learn a lot about history plus more about myself.

Sincerely,
Alfred Gonzalez

1st Trans Co. Johnson Barracks 93-95

I was with the 511th MI Company from 1969thru 1970 at W.O. Darby concern. It was a great organization during some interesting times, cold war, vietnam. I have managed to keep in touch with Rich Evans and Dave Merritt who served there at the same time. I also have located Mr. Bruce E. Burgoyne who was a civilian division chief at the time. I am still working for the Army as a civilian contracted consultant having put in 32 years a DA civil servant. I look forward to hearing from you all. :-)

HELLO HERZO BUDDIES !!

I was stationed at HERZO BASE from 1984-1985 with HHB 3/37TH FA BN. (3rd PLT COMMO) My Platoon Sergeant was SSG Rodgers, the Platoon Leader was 2LT Larry O'Neal. Our CO was CPT Richard B. Leap, & our BN CO was LTC Samuel W. Floca. I believe the BN SGM was SGM Dameron from Fayetteville, NC.

Some of my old running buddies were CPL Howard R. "RAY" Boone from Camden, SC, & SGT Michael "BAT-FINK" Fink from Wisconsin. Last time I saw Ray was in 1986 after he had ETS'd, saw Mike in 1989 during a visit to Herzo while on vacation. Always wondered about the base and the people, I know it closed in 1992, and this year (FEB 2006) I understand that they TORE DOWN the MAIN GATE & NCO CLUB.

Life has been pretty good, I settled down, have a family and a GREAT SON ADAM who gets all of my spare time. Left the Army for good in 1991, and have made a career out of working as a FIREFIGHTER / PARAMEDIC for the last 15 years, having went to NYC to help after 09/11/2001.

Would LOVE TO HEAR FROM ANYONE who remembers the GOOD OLD DAYS AT HERZO!!

Best Wishes,
Gary

Grettings Everyone,

I was born in Nuemberg, November 26th, 1961. My father was stationed there in the US Army. I believe he was a Staff Sgt. at the time. All my life I've wanted to get to Germany but I still have time. Anyone that knows anything about My Dad or was there around the same time, feel free to drop me a line.

I WAS STATIONED WITH THE 7TH FIELD ARTILLERY FROM 1948 TO 1952. I PLAYED IN A COUNTRY BAND. WE PLAYED OVER A.F.N. RADIO IN NURNBERG GERMANY. WE PLAYED ALL OVER GERMANY AND WAS CALLED THE LUCKY 7 RANCH HANDS. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM ANYONE THAT REMEMBERS US.

Feb. 66- Aug. 68. I would love to talk to anyone that was in my company

I was stationed in Nurnberg from 1977 to 1980 at the 511 Military Intelligence Battalion.

I would like to reconnect with anyone who was there during that time frame and remembers me.

I went to school at Nurnberg HS from 1961-64. My dad (MSG Tom Johnson)was stationed at Johnson Barracks..we got to know alot of guys in the unit-HQ Co 24th Engr Bn. I actually married someone from the unit after returning to the good ole USA--James Howell. We are still together!! LOVED GERMANY AND WOULD LOVE TO MAKE CONTACT WITH SOME OLE ARMY BUDDIES, as well as school mates.

not from nurnburg but i have spent some time there, i was with the 590th transportation company from flak kaserne in ludwigsburg. trying to find out what happened to the 590th and of flak kaserne, i was stationed at flak from 1963 till 1966,

I was originally stationed at Ferris Barracks in Erlangen with the 1/46 Inf from Dec 80-Nov 82. After a short stint to the states, I returned to the Frankfurt area for a little over 2 years...I ended my career at the 98th General Hospital in Nuernberg (AKA 3rd CSH). I now live in the Reno, Nevada area...Feel free to drop me a line if you remember me...Would love to hear from some of my army friends....

I was in Erlangen with my Mon & Dad 1948-1950. I was 9 yrs old. Anyone there then. Shirley Kemper, ed Smith, Derwood Sikes.

I was stationed at Merrell from 1982-1985, at which time my unit, 182nd Maint. Co. was transfered to WO Darby. I left Germany in 1986 for Aberdeen Proving Grounds MD. I loved my time at Merrell and in Nurnberg, I would go back in a heartbeat if I could. Anyone else from the 182nd? emaIl me at jimlasher@verizon.net.

I just wanted to say hi to all of you that were stationed in Nuremberg, Germany, Merrill Bks. I was there (614 Maint) in 1980-81. Loved it there and have been back once when I again lived in Germany. Would love to hear from anyone from 614 Maint.

I was with B Btry 1/94 arty at the Darby Kaserne from 2/1970 to 7/1970.
Sure had a great time for the short stay I had there.

Peace Out

Great site. Was in Darby 1981-1983. Sounds like many changes. I loved Germany! Did not know the small base was closed. I probably would not recognize Furth. I did not see or experiance any crime around the base. However there was an officer thrown out a window in a locker and killed.I miss most the great markets downtown. It was a happy time and place in my youth.Hope to see it all again someday when time allows.

i miss the old Nurnberg & Merriall bks, the culture the people and of course the beir :) Hope to hear from old friends BROST :)

Served with Alpha Battery 5/17th FA 7th Section Gun line and Special Weapons Team under 210th BDE on Herzo Base Germany Jan89 thru Feb92. The Base was just starting to deactivate during my ETS and moving to Ft Sill Oklahoma.

I was station at O'Darby Kaserne from 1975 - 1978. I was with the 569th Personnel and then called the Nuremburg Regional Personnel Center. Funny thing is I went to Germany as a 11C and was put to work in personnel. At the time they needed clerks and not ground pounders.

I too had a great time - well mostly. ON July 3, 1975 (Our Bicentennial) I was sitting in the Rec center, it was a warm night, and I was restless. I decided to take a walk. I ended up walking along the raised canal near Merrill Barracks when I was approach by two GIs and they mugged me. Too make things worst, as they were leaving they threw a large steel ball bearing at me and hit me in the forehead. This crack my skull and I then had the pleasure of spending 6 weeks in the hospital. There they clean out the broken bone and let me heal with a "hole" in my head for about 6 months until they could fill it up with some sort of plastic. Oh well it could have been worse.... I then rotated back to the states and eventually had another tour in Heidelberg at HQ. I enjoyed my time there also. Sometimes I get the places and faces mixed up from Nuremburg and Heidelberg. :)

Hello, I found this website in the guestbook nuernberger news, I grew up across from Darby in Fuerth across from 1/94th, in the 70´s, got married to a soldier went back to germany just didn´t went well :-( worked for Quartermaster Laundry from 81-85. I live in the same area again and see the changes here. I hear a lot of Germans say it was I lot better when the Americans were still here. Darby has changed a lot, 1st Trans is a an appartment complex also 1/94th the former Gym is called Grüne Halle (green Hall). There is a Café, lots of fruit and vegetables,Sushi bar a bakery and also cultural events. Behind the former gym is big park, with playgrounds , next to the gym a Kindergarden. The bookstore, the little snackbar and the recreation Center is now a Moschee and meetingplace for the moslems. The church is still a church. No bowling anymore, there are houses now. And the 49er is still empty.........lot more has changed. Greetings from Germany

Was stationed at WODK with the 511TH Military Intelligence Company, Buildings 90,91 and 89, from 1969 to 1971. A very educational time in my life.
The site bring back some great memories.

I was stationed in Furth at the William O Darby Kaserne in 1966,67. I was with the 182nd Light Equipment Maintenance Company (Special Electrical amd Electronics Repair). I do have pictures. I worked and played with Tom Rosemeyer, John Bettis (Jerome's father I believe), Paul Maille, Bill Scott, Mario Martinez, Paul Baker, and others...

I am ex U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force, having served from 1961 - 1969. I am trying to locate some information about a certain U.S. Army Military Specialty : 16R1O . Does anyone here know what that is? Thanks for your help, and don't forget; those of us who served before you still would do so!

STATIONED AT PINDAR BARRACKS FROM AUGUST 1976 UNTIL JANUARY 1981. I GUESS YOU COULD SAY THAT I GREW UP THERE. I HAVE SUCH GREAT MEMORIES OF GERMANY AND 156TH MAINT. CO. GONNA GO BACK ONE OF THESE DAYS.

I grew up in Furth. Used to go to school
across the street from William Odarby.
On the way to the street car after school on Flossau Str. passed the main gate, there was a corner building, maybe an E.M. club with a lot of GI's
hanging around. We used to try out our
school English on them. They in turn wanted to learn some German phrases to pick up girls. We had a good time with them. That was in the early 50's.
I came to the States in '55 and was drafted in June '60. Unfortunately I didn't get to go to Germany. Spent my
whole tour of duty in Ft. Dix in the MP's. Glad to have found this site.

Hi Guys,
it's great for me to find those pages.
I was looking in Yahoo for a possibility to find an old american friend, who was stationed at Herzobase around 1970. His name is John Lightcap and he was coming from Philadelphia.Latest address, we have is from Feasterville, PA. We had a pretty good time together and unfortunatelly we lost contact. During xmas-time we found an old addressbook...but I'm sure he moved several times. Anybody has an idea how to find out addresses of former army people from Germany? Best regards from Erlangen, Dietmar.

I was in HHT1st squadron 1st cavalary
from 81-83 I was in the transportation
campany. I had a great time there.
nice to see this site.

Went to High School there, Dad was military mom was German. Hung out at the 49er Club on base and the Superfly and 25 Club downtown. I lived in Erlangen. Worked at the hospital through a school program. Sometimes went to the hospital club. Does anybody remember LouAnn & Rufus? I heard Ronnie Holmes that went to school with me played for the Denver Broncos. I think James Brooks also went on to play pro ball. If anybody lived in Erlangen during 1977-1981 I should know them. Great web site by the way.

I was stationed in Merrell Barracks from 1973 to 1977 in 182nd Maintenance Company (LT J). I was promoted to Captain shortly before I left Germany.
I was also stationed at O'Brien Barracks from 1978 to 1980 in 2/59 ADA. I had a great time all of the time that I was in Germany, both in Nurnberg and in Schwabach.

Hello from Erlangen!

My name is Martin Seeliger. I live in Erlangen since 1973, and i was born in hospital in Erlangen.

My story: I was adopted from a german woman who can´t get children.
From my first time, she told me this story, my mother was married in Herogenaurach and came
from cech-republik, she was a ballett-dancer. My father was a soldier (her lover) and he worked at Herzobase or in
Erlangen at Ferries Barracks in the year 1972. He must be from Puerto-Rico !And i´m the product from this love.

I was born on 17.02.1973.

Please, help me, when you can give me some informations about my father.

Good luck for the next year,
i hope i read from you,
tanks,

Martin Seeliger

A co Worker I worked with at Nbg HQ's who now lives in New York?? Another co worker, Linda,Ilse, who worked with me at Personnel.I tried the Nbg GB, no response. maybe I have luck this time. Sure would be nice if I could find someone.
I do miss Fuerth and it was terrible when I drove thru the whole area after it was closed.
Well, Hello to everyone and if you think you might know me, please write.
Brigitte Simpson (McCurry)

i was stationed at the 303rd maintenance battalion at merell barracks from january 1972-july 1973. enjoyed the beer fests that were there and marios a few blocks away and the food was very good.

I lived at the American Bavarian Hotel (I think thats what it was called) Used to run to the train, jump off in Erlangen and run to the barracks for formation. I ran because I was in my uniform, and had a couple of locals lecture me about how evil my country was, etc, someone translated for me of course....My reply was...this is my job, I work, I spend my money here, and someday I will leave, hopefully with happy memories. I spent all my money mostly on beer and food. :rolleyes:

Was stationed at the Nürnberg Hospital. Sorry I don't have any photos I could send, but glad to see the hospital page including in the website. I noticed there is a guest book for each kaserne on the site plus this guest book for the entire website.

Nice Move.

Glad to see a this website coming on the internet. I bet before to long it's going to take off and be one big site. Was stationed in the Nurnberg area a few years ago. Not many websites on the net about the area since they closed all the kasernes in that area. I've ran across a couple of them, like the Ferris Barracks site. When I seen that site, I said to myself, "wish we had a place like that to visit".

Lets get busy and support this site. It could turn out to be something pretty damn good.

Give us a visit here at Ferris Barracks.

Was stationed there two times. Once in the 70's and once in the 80's. Enjoyed my stay both times.

Love the area and the people, food and beer.

Blleted at Darby but worked the 4Pm-1am shift at the 27 base post office which was near the Furth railroad station.Free to chase all day long.... just be back in time for work (sober).GI's rode free on the trolleys.No civies, midnite curfew.Army of occupation Sept'52-Feb'54.Great duty, great place. Wish now I had spent more time with a camera. Its boards like this that bring back the memories.

I spent a lot of time in the Fürth Main PX. I wasn't stationed in the area around Nürnberg, but I hopped a train and went to the PX there a couple times a month. Loved to go the sound shop there. The small PX were I was stationed didn't have much.

Most of the married guys here went a few times a month to the Main Conversary there for groceries. Sometimes I could get a ride with them.

Great to find this Nürnberg Military Area Guestbook and the message board.

Since I just finished making this guestbook , I guess I'll be the first to make an entry.
