  1. Had a great time there. 83-84 with the 2/83rd FA. Was the fuel tanker operator for the Bn. Bambi’s across the street had the best food.

    1. Enjoyed time there 2/83 was there when I was there I was in 2/5. I lived off post most of my time there made a lot of German friends that I still have to this day. I have been back to the area several times over the years every thing has changed. Have a good one.

  2. i was there from 1984-86. 2/83rd FA Thunderbolts. Good times – good memories. Miss that place. Went back to Babenhausen in April 2015. Love Germany.

  3. I was there in 1972 A/2/5 was a good time. I lived off post most of the time.

    1. I was stationed at munster bie dieburg..our quarters were in babenhausen kasern..81-86

    2. my dad was stationed there in 59, 61,and 62. He met my mom there in 1961 at The Glass Haus a dance hall. My dad was an MP. It’s such a small world that when I lived in Washington state 15 years ago I had a yard sale. A German lady came. I asked her where she was from she said babenhausen. She told me her parents owned a dancehall called The Glass Haus. She grew up in the apartment above it. I could not believe it I had to run and call my mom on the phone. Now that is a small world cuz we lived up in a little town of 1800 population by Mount St Helens.

  4. I was there from 2004-2006. The main gate was closed. They had what I would call a side checkpoint area. They had some great eatery/bars right outside the gate. Great times. Miss it! 💯💪🏽

  5. I was there with the first 27 th field artillery MLSR battalion in 1987-1989. I loved Germany and the post I was assigned to.

  6. That gate was never used during my time there 81-86, lived in the building to the left of gate. Had a great time especially the guest house directly across the street from that gate. Bravo Battery 2/5 FA then 4/77 FA after Brigade realignment.

  7. I’VE BEEN TO A LOT OF THE KASERNES IN GERMANY, BUT NEVER THIS ONE. LOOKS REAL INTERESTING THOUGH. I LIKE THE GATE GOING INTO THE PLACE, IF THATS WHAT IT IS IN THE TOP PHOTO.
