Awesome, was stationed there from 1992 to 94 with HHB 5/3 ADA & have yet to find a video like this to show others where I spent some of my best years. Seeing the front gate brings back so many memories of coming back from town. My barracks were to the right and last one. Thanks so much, would love to see any others from the surrounding area (Ingleheim, Wackernheim, Mainz or Wiesbaden).
@ThePigskinProwler Cool... I was also stationed in Fulda, Downs Barracks.... Been to Wildchicken a few times... LOL! I plan to visit Fulda sometime also... Met my wife there and she would like to visit there again sometime....
In-friggin-credible video! Brings back soooo many memories. I was stationed there from Oct. 1972-Nov 1974 with 1/59 ADA Vulcan/Chaparral unit. I have been up and down and in/out those places hundreds of times. Wackernheimer Hof was our favorite place to eat/drink. Guy who owned it was so great to GIs. To say this kaserne has been renovated is an understatement. When I first got there we were still living in WWII-era German Army Wermacht barracks. What memories!!
You got the Wackernheimer Hof & also spotted the bus stop across the street!

Too bittersweet; loved the post and the people, but hated the unit. Thanks for the video Dow.
