(SOURCE: WIKIPEDIA)
McPheeters Barracks was the name of a barracks facility in Bad Hersfeld used by the US Army from 1945 to 1993 . It was built from 1935 for the German Wehrmacht . Until 1945 it was called “Langemarck Barracks” after the Battle of Langemarck .
In the summer of 1993, the city of Bad Hersfeld was informed that the US Department of Defense had decided to disband the garrison in Bad Hersfeld. The last soldiers left the barracks in November 1993.
ARMY BARRACKS 
thank you for the information. I will check it out. I know they were there for a couple more years and then ended up at Ft. Chaffee and Ft. Sill before being sent back to Germany to Schwienfurt.
Would anybody have an idea of how to find a marriage certificate. My grandfather was stationed at here and married my grandmother at the McPheeters Barracks Chapel, 25 Feb 1956.
Thanks in advance for any ideas or help. I’m lost and really need this document for a family history book I am putting together. One of my cousins stole the original in a box of items that they thought would get them some money at a pawn shop after my grandmother passed away.
Have you tried to see if the marriage certificate was logged with the city/town/county were they lived when they returned to the states? Have you sent in a SF180 requesting any missing information from your grandfather’s service records? I would also try a SF180 requesting any information from his service records while at McPheeters (include dates he might have gotten to Germany and when he/they left Germany) and any information from records from the base chapel.

Hello everyone,
I’m trying to find information about my biological grandfather who was stationed at McPheeters Barracks in Bad Hersfeld – in the early 1950s and possibly again around 1970.
His name was Taylor (either first or last name, we’re not sure).
During his time in Germany, he had a brief relationship with my grandmother Bertha, who was often called “Betty.”
My mother, Karin, was born in 1953 as a result of that connection, but she never had any contact with him.
If anyone remembers a soldier named Taylor or served during that period and might have any leads, I would be truly grateful.
Thank you for your service and for any help you might be able to give.
