Augsburg was the best Army duty station in the world ! Beautiful city, great food & beer, friendly locals. I was there for 14 months, living at Sheridan Kasern. Sad to see all of that has been razed and apartment buildings built. SDEUR was my unit. Great duty, plenty of travel. Those were the best years of my life.
@@EichKC I was stationed on Sheridan Kaserne from 92-95 with the 66th MI Brigade Headquarters. It was the best time of my young life as I was in my early 20s.
I was stationed in Augsburg at Sheridan Kaserne from 92-95. I loved it. I loved going downtown to local restaurants and the sights. They were amazing. The city also had amazing architecture, roman fountains etc
Yes. lot of change in the last 20 years. Not so much where the appartments were, i live in one close to to the former Burger King( KFC now). The car repair workshops on the other side are all long gone, now flats and a park in place. Once also home to Augsburgs greatst club(s), the Kantine. Just memories left....
Arrived in Augsburg in 1988, lived on Sheridan Kaserne, worked out at Gablingen. Life is strange, if you told me back then how nostalgic I'd be watching this today, I'd have said you were crazy. ...wish I had the videos still.
I lived at Centerville with my husband & baby son from 1969 to 1961, my husband was stationed at Flak Kaserne. I loved Augsburg & have many happy memories
I went back to Germany in 2004 to do some work there as a contractor in Darmstadt. I took a day and drove to Augsburg. At that time Sheridan was still standing but all closed up. I drove out to the Field Station (took me a while, i got lost). I worked at the Satellite Terminal there from 1984 -85. I remember I used to jog through the old Nazi buildings from the old air base at the field station but the year I left (85) they plowed most of those old buildings down. I found an underground bunker entrance that was welded shut under the kitchens out there but never got into them. Gone now. Good times, good memories.
Was there 74-77, lived in the second building from the left end across Burgermeister Ackermann strasse as you stand in the old commissary parking lot. Worked at Gab, great duty station, good community, a great time that I wish I could relive. well, mostly. :D
I grew up there i was there till about 94 i loved growing up in the houseing there i remember the huge basements that connected across the housing all us army kids would play in there and have so much fun i also remember the px and getting stuck in the elevator...i miss the chrismas time hot gingerbread they sold outside the px
Hello i am ex german soldier and had a american girlfriend and my stepfather was a american Master seargent. I still live in Augsburg. I spent bunch of time with the american friends and ist so sad that there all gone. What a beautiful time ❤
Curtiss I was told that President Johnson made a deal to reduce the presence of US military in Germany so 70% of us were reassigned suddenly. Augsburg was the head quarters for the 24th Inf. so mt Dad told me they were shutting Augsburg down 100% . So seeing it again is a surprise but, it was the first time the Army changed it's mind. Thank you for the pics I was there for the elementary school and then swiched to High the next...no middle school. I had no idea how good I had it there...we were assigned to another 2 yrs so I felt cheated and blessed at the same time. Ausgsburg was so specail to me. Three years ago I planned on going back without the infoyour web site provided.
Ich have in Centerville in 1985 gewohnt,I lived in Centerville housing,in 1985 to 1987,right in front of the Commissary, loved it,great times in the 80's,they will never come back.My husband was with the 1/18th,B Btry,Sheridan Kaserne, 1983 to 1987,
Yea kaptn blaubaer,I know,lol,I'm from Augsburg,born and raised,came to the USA 33 years ago,was married to him 20 years,and after those 20 years of marriage and 5 kids,he left us,he liked 1y year old girls,but i made it with the kids,now they all grown and have kids themselfs,I just sad,what happened to all the Kasernen,where were u stationed?
@@angelamariamelendez5522 I was born and raised in Friedberg, I worked as LN for the Fire Control Center in Reese bldg #37, later in Sheridan Kaserne bldg #148. We had 24 hour shifts, that is why I slept on Base.
I was there from '89 to' 90. My dad worked on Reese at the Regional Contracting Office (RCO). It one of the buildings in front of the kantine near the side gate.
What year did you film this? I was stationed there 92-93. The cars look 90's. I was in the 226 postal company. We were deactivating the company then. I turned in our weapons, and equipment during that time. Our 1st Sgt, was named Roxberry. Those were good times.
What? Augsburg has been heavily gentrified in recent years and the historic old town has been polished quite a bit. Personally, that's what I dislike (I liked the historic looks, apart from the few alleyways that actually really needed to be polished), but I think it's less trash than it used to be. Compare Augsburg and generally cities within the Free State of Bavaria with the cities of other federal states and you find that the streets and buildings are heckin clean. Not sure what you're talking about since pretty much all places I know of in Europe and even the states are much dirtier
A friend found this video... ruclips.net/video/moh-69iSa3U/видео.html It doesn't show much, though. I would think other videos would be available on RUclips.
@@kaptnblaubaer GrusGodt Greeting from God...Danke for the name and would you know the name the street in front of the old High School and main road through Sullivan Heights? I would love to visit these places again.
I lived there from 93-98. Lived in both Centerville North and South housing areas. Great memories from Augsburg!
I lived in sullivan heights as a kid 79-82, I still have a lot of memories of it. Thanks for the trip back..

Lived here from 1969-1976. My mom was a bagger at the commissary and we lived across the highway. This is so weird to see. Thank you.
Wow that brings back memories. I lived there as a kid 92-95. Went to Augsburg High and bagged groceries at the commissary.

Need to see videos of Army bases in 1956 Augsburg. Where can i see them ?
A friend found this video...
ruclips.net/video/moh-69iSa3U/видео.html
It doesn't show much, though. I would think other videos would be available on RUclips.
I guess it's been too long.. None of this looks familiar. I remember "Food Land".
What street is that Burger King in I had my birthday party there
The street is Flandernstrasse 6. Greetings from Pfersee
What year was this?
I think my dad took this around 1996 or 1998. I don't remember exactly.
90-92
What was the name of the street in front of the PX.
The Name was "Bügermeister Ackermann Straße"
short " Bgm. Ackermann Str."
Greetings from Augsburg
@@kaptnblaubaer GrusGodt Greeting from God...Danke for the name and would you know the name the street in front of the old High School and main road through Sullivan Heights? I would love to visit these places again.
That means Mayor Ackermann street? yes?
I was there 1966 and 67 sent to Us early by President Johnson.
Augsburg is off the tourist road...but it stole my heart when I got to live there two years and I have not seen it in all these years.
