    Was stationed at Murnau 1961 and 1962 as Ordnance Maintenance Instructor. We had quarters in Garmisch. That was Country Club living.

    I heard Kimbro Kaserne was torn down in 2008? How do I get a map of where it was? My husband and I lived directly behind it on the Staffelsee, used to walk to the Kaserne most days (he worked in the hospital), and I worked upstairs in the snackbar…(1968-1970) I am taking our daughter to Murnau and want to show her the house we lived in, but don’t have a clue how to find it, unless I have a map where Kimbro was….any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    I was sent from Baumholder to Murnau to attend Damolition and Mine Warfare School in Jan 1966. I could not believe how beautiful the area was and i think about it when i see the movie ” The Sound of Music”

    I was assigned to Kimbro from 68 to 70 where I taught engine and powertrain repair on track vehicles. Loved being there as it was so close to everything.

    I was assigned to HQ company in Oberammergau and worked in the Motor Pool.
    I attended Recovery Training in Kimbro early in 1957.
    Loved the place more than Ogau or Garmisch and Fuessen.

    I was reassigned to A Co, USASCHEUR, in late ’65 from HQ Co in Oberammergau. I worked in the AK4DH5 supply shop and the warehouse. Later I worked in the School Supply Warehouse in the basement of the Headquarters Bldg. I remember CW4 Pavlick, the Accountable Officer and MSG Thomas Fraley. Also SSG Frank Barrett – no relation but we looked a lot alike. I was on the Stamtisch at the Bahnhoff and will never forget my good friend Josef Schranz and his family.

    I was stationed at Kimbro for two and half years from Sept. 1966 to Feb 1969. It was some of the best years of my life. May Kimbro live in our memories forever. Kimbro was torn down in 2008 or 09. I visit Murnau as I have a daughter whos has taken up residence In Bavaria.

On a du se rencontrer , j’allais au service club, avec des amis américains on allait a Garmisch avec des grosses voitures américaines c’était le bon temps ………je suis passé à Murnau au mois de mai cette année j’ai vu qu’il ne reste plus rien de la caserne et maintenant se sont des résidenses neuves…j’ai quelques photos que je t’enverrai si tu me laisse ton adresse e-mail
      Amitiés d’un ancien de kimbro

    My dad was an instructor at “Heavy Park” in Murnau from 1959 – 1964. We first lived in Froschausen (SP?) and then moved to Kimbro. Those years were the best years of my life as a kid and my parents said it was the best of their adult lives (other than Alaska). I was there from 2nd grade through beginning of 7th.
