Billy, This is some really cool stuff. My trip to Germany was so great. Seeing everything in person was unbelievable. Before that, everything was just 50-year-old black-and-white photos. You and you wife were great hosts, and thats what made the trip go so smoothly. I´m so glad my dad made those plans. If not, I probably never would have gone there. Thanks for everything.

I Was in the 168th when we shipped overseas from Ft Campbell, Ky to Nellingen in 1957. I was in H/S Company in the Heavy Eq Platoon. Like Bob I use to go to the Post Platz downtown with Jim Sickafuse, Joe Mihaliak and a few others. Really enjoyed Germany and especially the Nellingen area and the people there. I was TDY a lot building Sports Platz´s, Playgrounds and many other facilities for the Germans and American forces. If anybody remembers me please contact me at edlorimoran@aol.com. This is a great website Billy and I will visit it often. Thanks for the memories.

Dear Billy, Your dad and my dad must have been friends or at least they knew each other. I am 49 years old and lived in Nellingen from 1962 to 1966. My dad was then on his second trip there. I have a brother and sister that was born in Heidleberg in 56 and 58. I have an older brother that would have been 5 years old in 55. What a trip down memory lane. I remember watching the helicopters fly over the fence and over the back yard. We would try to hit them with rocks. There was an old well next to a shack right near there where i stepped on a loose board that had a nail in it and I ran home screaming with that board stuck to my foot.

Bill, Thank you for the site. My father was stationed with the 16th DPU unit at Nellingen from 1975 - 1978. We lived in Bernhausen for approx 1 year prior to moving to Nelligen Barracks. I graduated from Stuttgart Amer HS in Ludwigsburg after which I started College and worked full time at the Recreation Center on Nellingen. I was wondering if you ever had the chance to meet Heir Kopp. He was over the photo lab next to the Recreation Center. He was the nicest man and I think of him often. If you happen to know him and have any updates on him I would love to here them. Thank you for all your hard work on this site. As military "Brats" we really don´t have a place we can call our home town except for the many posts our fathers were stationed at. It is fun to get to see pictures of what we would call our home town. Again thank you so much for sharing.

I had a very good time. I feel being put back in this time trough your great and informative pages, Billy. A great job you`re doing! Now I am trying to get some information on Eddy McDoffy who was stationed in Nellingen Barracks in the early 60s as a pilot, then being about 35 years old, ...... He `s supposed to have returned to the United States by the end of 1964. It is very important for me to find him. If anybody remembers him or knows where he lives, please contact me and let me know. Thank you. Bettina bettina.u@online.de Mein Name ist Bettina. Ich bin Deutsche und war ab 1983 mit einem Hubschrauber Mechaniker (E..) zusammen und habe an dem Amerikanischen leben in den Nellingen Barracks teilhaben können: Es war eine sehr schöne Zeit. Durch Deine tollen und informativen Seiten Billy, fühle ich mich in diese Zeit zurück versetzt. Eine ganz großartige Arbeit die Du da leistest! Nun suche ich Informationen über Eddy McDoffy der in den 60er Jahren ebenfalls in den Nellingen Barracks als Pilot ( damals ca. 35 Jahre alt) stationiert war. Er soll Ende 1964 zurück in die USA gereist sein. Es wäre sehr wichtig für mich ihn zu finden. Wenn sich irgend jemand an ihn erinnert und weiß wo er lebt, bitte ich um Zusendung der Informationen.

Dear Bill, Thank your for your loyal service. Thank you for your lovely website. And thank you sharing your warm memories. My fond memories of Nellingen Barracks revolve around raising my children. Having been associated with Nellingen Barracks from 1986 through 1989, I am sure that our paths crossed either as your worked or at Burger King. In 1998, I traveled through Ostfildern. At the time, it seemed that there was nothing left of the place, besides the school, family housing, and the large historical building near the front gate. It is nice to see from your website that this special place where so many worked, lived. and love has not been destroyed but replaced with yet another place where so many work, live and love.

I was stationed on Nellingen Barracks from ´78 - ´89 with the 800th MMC, 38th P&A, 198th PSC, 16th DPU, and HQ&HQ Special Troops then moved to Kelley Barracks from ´89-´91. Enjoyed the German Kanteen and the NCO & Officers Clubs. Lived in Denkendorf on the other side of Nellingen. Ran with many other runners on Nellingen Barracks. Nellingen Barracks is now called Scharnhausen Park and is housing area for Germans and others from other European countries. The former 2d SUPCOM HQS are now apartments. The former NCO club had great grilled steaks along with a Hofbrau. Remember doing Staff Duty Officer in the SP shack, working on my cars in the autocraft shop, and the ice cream parlor behind the post theater. Annual SUPCOM organizational day was a fun event full of sportsmanship and camarerie, miss the fests that were held on post, where the USAWOA served the bier von fass. Oh yes, the good times we had on Nellingen Barracks.

Hallo, ich bin die Tochter von Herrn Helmut Schröder mein Vater hat 1974 bei einem Kellerbrand in den Nellingen BKS einigen Kindern das Leben gerettet. Mein Vater war an diesem Tag als Möbelpacker tätig als der Brand in einem Keller ausbrach. Unter Einsatz seines Lebens konnte er einige Kinder direkt aus dem Feuer befreien anderen konnte die Flucht aus einem Kellerfenster ermöglicht werden. Dafür wurde er im August 74 von BG Morris mit einer Auszeichnung belohnt. Mein Vater ist zwischenzeitlich verstorben ich würde gerne wissen, wir haben niemals was von den Kindern gehört ( wurden sofort nach USA geflogen ) kann sich jemand an den Unfall erinnern oder weis wie es den Kinden die heute ca 40 Jahre alt sind geht.Die Umzugsfirma für Seemäßige Verpackung war damals Fa.

I spent 3 years in the 16th DPU from 1980 - 1983. I met a lot of good people and have fond memories of Nelligan. I visited there again after the base closed and it was like being in a ghost town. I can remember going to the Bistro a lot along with the old mill. Bistro´s turned into an Italian restaurant. Too bad, i was really looking forward to having a hofbrau at the old hangout.

My time at Nellingen Kaserne was from 1956 to 1958, just before the "German Miracle" was about to unfold:for all to see. For many of the G.I.´s I knew our time at Nellingen was one of friendships, adventure and discovery of a Land, a people and a Continent.

I had a very enjoyable time roaming around on your site, lots of very good pictures & info. I was in Ulm from November 1953 to May 1956, I must have left about the time your dad arrived.

Your site keeps getting better & better, Billy, and we all thank you! Our group of Army brats who lived at Nellingen and Kelley between 1960-64 enjoy your site very much and recognize a lot of places in the photos. Most of us attended Nellingen Jr. High School and/or Ludwigsburg American High School and were "old enough" to enjoy many of the places & events in that area back then --- and we have MANY wonderful memories of our time in Germany! We have searched for over 5 years and have located over 150 of our old friends & classmates from those days -- still searching for others, too. We will have our 5th NellingenKelleyClassmates reunion next summer! Thanks again for your very interesting website about Nellingen.

Well done. I really enjoyed the pictures and your commentary. I worked at Nellingen (Bldg. 3500) in 1991/92 for the VII Corps Directorate of Logistics (DOL) until it moved to Wurzburg. Before then (1980 till 89) I worked for the GSMC Directorate of Engineering and Housing (DEH) at Grenadier Kaserne, and later at Patch Barracks. Do you remember Mike Bonfielilo from Nellingen?

Wirklich nett mal wieder das zu sehen, was hier war wo ich noch Jung war. Hab die Kaserne nur noch in Erinnerung wie sie leer steht und dann "platt gemacht" wurde. Bin damals selbst in den Barracken gewesen. Unvergesslich! Zum Glück gibt es diese Homepage!

Hallo Billy, das Sammlertreffen war toll und ich konnte wieder viele Stücke bekomme die ich schon lange gesucht habe. Schade dass die Resonanz so schwach war. Hoffe es zieht mehr Leute an. Ich sammle Abzeichen der Bundeswehr und aus NATO-Staaten und suche immer Tauschpartner. Bei Interesse einfach eine EMail losschicken. Gruß Steffen

Hi Billy, You have a interesting web site. I was stationed at Echterdingen Army airfield in 1959/1960 with the 16th Avn.Opr.Det. I was at Nellingen Kaserne several times. Germany was a beautiful country in 1959/1960 and I know it still is. Good beer, good food nice people. Keep up the good work and good luck in your collecting.

Hello Billy, very nice site you have of Nellingen Barracks. Me & my wife were both station there from 83 to 86. I was stationed down the road at Kelly Barracks for my first year at 7th Corps and then I was transfered to Nellingen Barracks at 394th Trans Bn working in S-1 battalion. My wife Janice was stationed at HQ, 2nd Support Command. We were both there until we left for Ft Leavenworth, KS until I retired in 1992 and we currently live in Marshfield, Wisconsin. When we were stationed at Nellingen we lived in a small town called Kongen ( I think thats how it was spelled). We sure loved the area and all of Germany. We did a lot of traveling and of course loved the German food and of course the Good German Beer. Lots of good memories. Keep up the good job of your site.

Hallo zusammen, ich bitte um Hilfe von jeder Menge Leute, die mir helfen meiner Mutter ihren Dad zu finden. Er war in Nellingen bis 1955 stationiert und heißt Marshall Castein. Ich habe leider keine weiteren Angaben zu ihm, nur seinen Namen und dass er wohl 1955 wieder in seine Heimat die USA zurückgekehrt ist, da seine Zeit als Soldat in Deutschland abgelaufen war! Ich bitte Sie, wenn Sie mir helfen könnten ihn zu finden, mir Tipps für die weitere Suche geben könnten oder ihn sogar kennen und wissen wen ich meine, melden Sie sich dann bitte unter meiner E-Mail-Adresse unter der ich täglich erreichbar bin. Ich würde mich sehr freuen von Ihnen zu hören - mir würde jeder kleine Wink helfen meine Mutter wieder lachen sehen zu können und sie glücklich zu machen. Danke!

Thank you for the website about Nellingen Kaserne. I have so many great memories of my tour of duty in Germany and especially Nellingen. I served with the 94th Engr. Bn. from February to November 1970. I traveled to many parts of Germany and Austria and enjoyed visiting many castles, skiing, and hiking in the beautiful forests. I am sorry that the Kaserne is no longer, but I have my pictures and memories. I hope to travel to Germany again to show my wife your beautiful country and friendly people.

BRIGGS JOHN 30. Oktober 2006 - 07:16 Uhr
aus CALIFORNIA,
In 1965, I started to work as a crewmember on a troop ship. We took the First Infantry Division and other units to Vietnam. On each trip, we picked up around 2,400 troops in Oakland, California and stopped in Guam to refuel the ship and then traveled to Vietnam. We traveled down the coast and dropped troops off at different ports. After we left Vietnam, we would head to other ports like Japan or Korea before heading back to Oakland to pick up more troops for a return voyage to Vietnam. In April of 1966, I entered the Army at Ft Ord thinking that I would be back in Vietnam after training. I did AIT at Ft Leonard Wood as a Heavy Equipment Operator on D8 Bulldozers. When our orders came for our next duty station, I was surprised and happy to find out I was going to Germany instead of Vietnam. I was stationed at Nellingen Kasern from 1966 to 1968 in HQ Co, 94th Engineer Bn (Const). In the winter of 1966, I learned how to ski in Garmisch. I also bought a 1958 VW to go skiing in and to travel around the country. I spent most weekends touring castles in different parts of the country during the spring and fall and during the summer of 1967 I drove to Switzerland, Italy, Spain, France, and England to name a few. In January of 1968, I bought a new 1968 VW and skied in Austria for two weeks. I then shipped the car home where I drove it for around 10 years before I sold it. A new 1968 VW was $1,500 plus $50 for a sunroof and $350 to ship home. A pretty good deal. I now live in Lafayette, California, and have been married since 1972 and have a daughter, a son and one granddaughter. When I was discharged out of the Army, I worked at a General Motors assembly plant in Fremont, California and then went to school to get a BS Degree from California State University, Hayward. I am presently a part owner of a small company with around 30 employees and travel to Europe for vacation quite a bit. In 1995, we stopped by Nellingen Kasern right before they were going to tear down the barracks. I parked the car in front of the main gate and crawled under the fence. It was kind of eerie as I was the only person on the entire post. All of the buildings were unlocked and completely stripped of everything that wasn’t bolted to the floor or ceiling. My old barracks had been changed from one large room to around 10 small rooms for probably 2 people each with a hall down the middle. The latrine had been completely redone with a nice tile. The toilets even had private stalls. What is this world coming to? I still miss the authentic German beer.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. My pictures were lost over the years and your site brought back MANY fond memories. I am glad I found it. I spent 3 years 11 months and 7 days,(´69-´72) in Germany and after processing in, they were all spent with the 87th Maint. Bn. I was in HHC & 903rd until I left in 1972. My favorite Gasthaus was Tally´s in town. His barmaid who used to be on duty all the time was Suzy. I used to go all over the Stuttgart area with him, a truck driver named Claus, and a few more Germans whose names have skipped my mind. We were all members of a bowling team and I just loved the way the pins were hooked to strings and how many different games we could play. It used to cost us 5DM, about $1.25 to play each Saturday. At the end of the season, we used to go to the Alps skiing for 7 days, with all expenses paid. I could go on and on. I just loved it there. If anyone reading this knows me, or knows about a friend of mine, Don Souza from California, please email me. Thanks again for your wonderful site. Al Metz Winter Haven, Florida

I lived at Nellingen Barracks from 1969-1971 as a military dependent of SFC Leslie P. Campbell. My mother, Sally, sisters, Vicky (Anita Santiago), Leslie (Bunny), & Jeannie were there too. I was 13 to 15 years old at the time. It was a great time in my life. I will always have fond memories of my time at Nelligen. I joined the US Army & was assinged to the 42d MP Group at Mannheim from Nov. 1980 to Sep. 1983. Unfortunately I didn´t get the chance to visit Nelligen. Thank you for you website, it brings back wonderful memories and the history of the American/German relations during it´s existence. Thanks again. Dana Campbell

I just found your site, I was in Nellingen 1973-1975. I had a wonderful time there (I miss Stuttgarter Hofbrau, the best beer in the >world!) , and seeing the pictures on your site brought back many good memories. I remember all of the areas. Sad that it is all gone now. I was in the 472nd Signal company as a photographer, unfortunately, I didn´t keep many pictures of the barracks. I also played music in a band in the enlisted clubs at Nellingen, Kelly Barracks, Patch, Flak, and so on. One of the Germans I played music with was named Dieter Hartman, he was 21 years old back then, and played drums. Another was >named Eckhart (cant remember his last name), he played guitar and worked in a music store in Stuttgart. I work for the Air Force now in Florida. Anyway, your efforts have made today a very good day for me, and I will visit your site often. Thanks again!

Good work Billy. Thanks for including the 6th Airdrome Squadron in your history of Nellingen. I don:t think that many people realize that the U S Air Force occupied Nellingen prior to the U S Army taking it over - but it did. And they had a ball while there, I guess those were the good old days.

March 2, 2006 Enjoyed your look into the past. I flew the US Army Sikorsky Helicopters beginning in 1954 when we first arrived in the spring of 1954. My wife Erika and I lived in Nellingen with a Frau Melville and later moved into the new family quarters next to the airfield. I remember the locating the Nudist camps in and around Stuttgart, and especially while they were building the Stuttgart Tower with restaurant at the top. Once in a while I would fly circles around the tower and the men hanging by ropes would wave to us! I will pass ur site to others who were flying their back in 1954.
