ARGONNER KASERNE

HANAU, GERMANY

Argonner Kaserne, named after the Argonner Forest, scene of the famous WWI battle, was constructed between 1937 and 1938 and occupied by the German Army Engineer NCO School. German Army engineers used this kaserne for their non-commissioned officer school for many years. An interesting sight in this area is an elevated stone wall on which a huge tree is still growing. It was a former gallows used to execute convicted criminals and enemies of the state in the 19th century.

The kaserne is now split into two parts, Old and New Argonner. Old Argonner is home to the 414th BSB command group as well as a number of MWR facilities. New Argonner houses the U.S. Dental and Medical Clinics as well as family housing. Argonner now houses Medical, Dental and Veterinary Services, a guest house, government housing, and both Hanau Middle and Hanau High Schools.

FEUCHT ARMY AIRFIELD

FEUCHT ARMY AIRFIELD NÜRNBERG GERMANY

Feucht is a community southeast of Nuremberg. In the 1960s, northwest of the village an airfield was built for the US Army, which had mainly stationed helicopters here. which was put into operation around 1967/68. The runway length was only 1036 m (3400 ft) over all years, because helicopters were mainly stationed here. At first there was no radio beacon, but from about 1970 a non-directional radio beacon (NDB) was available and a little later also a precision approach radar (PAR). In the south was a railway siding to the ammunition depot.After the withdrawal of US troops at the beginning of the 1990s, the airfield was converted into an industrial park. The control tower and other buildings have been preserved. FUECHT ARMY AIRFIELD ARCHIVED GUESTBOOK
