Wow!!! I've been in the Army for over 20 years and the best time was 93-95 when I was stationed in BK with 1st AD. I love that place and it is really sad that it is closed. I really appreciate the video. I love BK and hope to someday make my way back. Thank you for the video brought back a lot of memories of great times!!!
Thanks very much. I was stationed there is Summer 1962 and re-visited in the 1980s. I am still friends w/ a German family I met while in the Army. I was especially fond of Die Bruecke Hausen, Orienen Park and Kur Haus.

I left Moncks Corner, South Carolina, with my father who was and Enlisted Service Member in the US Army. I was 4 years old and my memory had started to develop around age 3. We celebrated my 5th birthday here in Bad Kreuznach, West Germany 🇩🇪, in 1972. My first experience of West Germany I hated it. I was a young punk kid who didn't know anything at the time. As the years went by, going to Kindergarten not far from the Main American Elementary and Middle School. The High School kids were bussed to a different area but I don't know exactly where. You gotta remember I was a 5 year old kid. My family went on several Rhine River Cruises. There's nothing like seeing those Medieval Era Castles lit up at night, or the Cruise Ship going through the elevation Locks and experiencing cultures to a young kid. We lived in the housing area, the second building from the main road to Rose Barracks. My Dad and Step-Mom were big Bowling 🎳 fans, so I'd play out by the dumpster with the other kids. I was a very slow learner in school, which is one of the reasons I didn't enjoy Bad Kreuznach. My Step-Mom slowed it down, and I began to understand the class work. After this, I started to enjoy West Germany 🇩🇪 and didn't want to leave. West Germany was the perfect place for a young kid to get away from racism and prejudice. Because I never once heard the N-word in the 3 years we lived in West Germany. My first experience with that is when we returned to the United States, my father had to go to PLDC as well as more training before going to the next duty station at Fort Bliss, Texas. Coming back to the USA in South Carolina at my grandparents house while my Dad was at Fort Benjamin Harrison doing his training, it was in South Carolina that I experienced racism and prejudice for the first time. And I'm a Caucasian. I truly wasn't prepared for this as a young kid. But that's another story of experience for a different time. West Germany, the both times because we returned 9 years later to Kitzingen, West Germany 🇩🇪. I so much wish American kids could have the opportunities to study abroad in American High Schools. Because most high school proms are in either high school gyms, hotels but not very eventful compared to American students in West Germany having there High School Proms in Ancient Medieval 🏰 Castles. Spring Break is going down to Paris, France 🇫🇷, going down the French Riviera. There's just no comparison. But the most important part of going to school in West Germany, Italy, or even England is that we were there because the US Military along with the NATO Allies, to allow Western Europe to decide for themselves what government that they want, not by force as the Soviet Union did to East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary 🇭🇺, Romania 🇷🇴, Poland 🇵🇱, Albania 🇦🇱, Bulgaria 🇧🇬 and tried to do to Yugoslavia. All were forced by Soviet Russia to have Communist governments influenced by Moscow. There were more like the Ukraine 🇺🇦, Belarus 🇧🇾, Lithuania 🇱🇹, Estonia 🇪🇪, and a couple more. We kids got to experience why we were there. The one thing that we can all be proud of is that there's not been a major conflict in Western Europe since 1948. From our Grandfathers who liberated Western Europe from the Facist, Prejudice Nazis, to our parents who defended Western Europe from the Communist Russia to do what Sir Winston Churchill said "An Iron Curtain" to swallow all of Europe until the Soviet Union fell ending the Cold War. We all have a legacy greater than anything.
I attended high school in Bad Kreuznach in the early 60's. Wow....this video takes me back to Deutschland, for sure! My mother was German and many of our German relatives lived in town--so we felt like we were home. Good, good memories.
Thank you very much to the makers of this video. I was stationed at the hospital kaserne from 92-96 and lived on Stromberger Str. I loved being there and miss all the wonderful friends I had to leave behind.
W O W !!! Things have changed since my time over there! My father was stationed there in 1958. He worked at the US Army Hospital and decided to stay in BK after he retired in 1962, so I lived there from the age of 7 to 21. Went to the elementary school up through the 6th grade when my father retired. We resided at Bldg 5608, Apt C-5, right across the street from the PX, where my mom worked as cashier in the clothing store until she passed away in 1975. As kids (2 sisters and a baby brother), my older sister would take my little sister and me to the Saturday matinee at the Rose Barracks and Sundays, I sang in the church choir there as well. But my favorite hang-out was the news stand at the PX, which was located between the snackbar and the clothing store. After school, my younger sister and I bagged merchandise at our mother's station and afterwards, I'd get my daily fix of Mad Magazine, Superman, Batman, Spiderman, The Fantastic 4, Thor, Little Lulu, Richie Rich, Casper the Friendly Ghost, and Archie comic books until the old German who worked there, would once again kick me out for the day. I'd always be back the next day though and after promising and hope to die, that I would not leave dog ears on the pages, he would grudgingly allow me to pour over the latest shipment until payday when I would make my careful selections and later take assorted comic books to the playground where us Army Brats would haggle and trade our stash. Then we'd do the same with our marbles. Summertimes would find us at the Salinental Schwimmbad and picnic grounds or cooling off with grape, cherry, or orange popsicles from the Foodland. In the winter, our older sister would make us kids delicious hot chocolate with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and plenty of Hershey's chocolate syrup and whipped cream, where she worked at the Dad's Club down by the school. Later, in 1968, I would work for the same company, but assigned to the Des Gutes Casern(Minnick), where after a very rocky beginning, I would grow to love my "big brothers", who were stationed there. Hey Curly, Fang and Capt. ShortRound (to name a few)! Hope you're all doing well! Back then, the Des Gutes Casern had a reputation for being "Bad Ass"! My boss gave me his blessings as I reluctantly agreed to start there until another spot opened. Practically on a daily basis, my little hole-in-the-wall shop would get broken into and cigarettes, coffee, gum and candy would get snagged. MP's would come to my home to take me to the shop, where a bored investigator would take a statement as to my operating hours, missing items, any clues, etc. Next day I'd open shop as usual and the guys, grinning would file into the shop to assess my state of mind. Even my boss got tired of having to change the locks all the time, so he decided to install a heavy duty steel door and lock. He'd like to see them break into THAT! They blew the door open and carted off all the usual stuff! When the guys trooped in, grinning, I could only stare at them in seething outrage. I'd had it! I grabbed the newly replaced cartons of cigarettes, the cans of coffee and shoved them on the counter. I threw all the candy and gum on top of the pile. As the gaping guys looked on, I tore off my apron and along with the useless shop keys and the opening $20 of bills and change, threw them across the room and yelled, "what's the use, here you go!" and I stumbled out of there, crying. I ran into the motor pool building and into its only bathroom to have a good cry. I cried even harder when I saw the writing on the bathroom wall, "FOR A GOOD TIME, CALL EMILIE"! After a bit, I became aware of someone tapping on the door. At first, I didn't answer but the guy asked me to please come out, they were sorry and wanted to make it up to me. I renewed my crying and wailed, "it's a little late for that!" But the voice on the other end was persistent, "no, please come out, we put all your stuff back in place and we brought your other stuff back too! C'mon, we're sorry. We won't do it again." So I rinsed my swollen red eyes and stepped outside. "Aw gee!", after taking one look at me. I slowly followed him back to the shop. As I stepped inside, I noticed the newly installed wooden door. The guys were all standing around and stepped aside as I approached. The counter had been tidied up; cigarettes and coffee had been put away, gum and candy had been neatly stacked on the shelves. The coffee was perking, the hot dog machine was turned on, and there behind the counter stood one of the guys, wearing my apron telling me how much he'd taken in, and urging me to count the till; they'd picked up every last penny, off the counter and the floor, but wanted me to count it to make sure nothing was amiss. After I reclaimed my apron, they asked if there was anything, anything at all that they could do to make up for the hard time they gave me. That bathroom wall came to mind. The next day, they showed me the bathroom, they'd whitewashed the walls. When my boss informed me that another opening had become vacant, I politely declined and told him that I thought I'd stick to where I was at. For the remainder of my time working there, my "big brothers" and I formed a bond of friendship, of which the precious memories for me, will last a lifetime. These were the guys who renamed my shop, "The Sugar Shack" after the song: ruclips.net/video/iHzjfGF6MiU/видео.html If I went dancing at the discotheques downtown with my friends, and someone tried to bother me, invariably, a soldier and his buddies that frequented the Dad's Club would come up and growl, "you leave our Dad Shack Girl alone" and hustle the offender off. These were the same guys who brought me back a bird's nest with little eggs in it when they came back from field duty operations, in the hopes that I could save them by putting their nest on the little radiator. These were the guys who set up a "cuss box" on the counter and filled it with such "awful language" like, "darn, oh shucks, blast" so I could buy a radio so that they could listen to their favorite music station . These were the guys who respected the sign I put over the doorway entrance, "PLEASE TAKE OFF YOUR CAP AND RANK BEFORE ENTERING" and Privates, NCO's and Officers, took their turns taking out the trash and swept and mopped the floor. These were the guys who'd ask me for the car keys to my 1956 fire engine red karmann ghia and it would be outside the door after my work day, with a snazzy bucket seat installed, and racing stripes painted along its sides. These were the guys who joined me in my car, there were about 7 of us, armed with bowling balls, all of us squeezed inside for a ride to the bowling alley at the Rose Barracks on New Year's Day! These were my big brothers who came trooping into my shop before departure to Vietnam for a free cup of coffee, and a kiss for safekeeping. These were bitter-sweet times as I watched my "big brothers" eventually get selected, one by one, for a tour of duty to Vietnam. Wonderful, bitter-sweet memories...
I live at Bldg 5634 B5 from 1960 to 1962 and went to the elementary school. My third grade teacher was Ms Monyahan and my 4th grade teacher was Ms Simmons.
Thanks for the memories. I was stationed at Rose Barracks 1967-69. I most remember the saline water structures in the park that senior Germans went to for their health. I also have fond memories when I lived in a weingut's home. The frau would bring me new wine and I can recall a lot of fine dinners at their home. Their wine cellars were under the house and I saw a lot of expensive aged wine in vats. I once helped pick grapes by hand in their field and was completely worn out by evening.
my wife and kids were stationed at rose Barracks 1991-1994, My 4th son was born there, at St mary worth downtown BK, we had a great time, Garmish,Berchtschgarden etc, A company 141st(worst) sig 1st platoon, omg, the sat vidoes wanna make me cry, Anyone there during this time, email me, it has been so long, Kuburg hill, running the vineyards with SFC Carter on Tuesdays, Fat 1st sgt Saucedo, SFC Roby, Sgt Rybicki, SSg Tyrone Morning, on e of the best NCOs I ever had, wow, this could go on, living up behind the bier garden, riding the bike to the back "signal"gate,
I was there from Nov 98 to Apr 01. B Co 141st Sg Bn HQ Plt Motorpool. I was happy to stumble across this video but I have to admit, it broke my heart. looks completely different. had some of the best times of my life there. the locals were fantastic people. still want to re-visit tho.
In 1959 I belonged to the 12 Eng. Btn. in Dexhiem and was TDY to Rose Barracks. Was bunked in with a 1/4 master Co. I was in S4 Eng. Supply and was operating out of BK. We went to Kaiserslautern once a week, pickup Eng. supplies, went back to BK, sorted, and then delivered around the Div. Short 4 day week and had a 24 hour class A pass in my pocket. There were three enlisted, one NCO, (and a first louie we never saw. No guard duty or KP. Good duty.
Thanks for uploading this. Very bittersweet. I miss that place and am sad that most of the bldgs have been torn down. I am also astounded to see how BK has changed in 20+ years. I was at Rose Barracks from 88-90.
My family was stationed in BK 1961 through Dec 64. My mother was German and was from Bad Kreuznach, so we lived with relatives for a while and then moved to a new residential street just off base (Wieland Strasse). I enjoyed this video so much and still have fond memories of Deutschland. Wish you had video of the high school...although, maybe it was torn down?
I served with the 8th S&B Bn in Minick Kasserne in 1976 and 1977 ... I was a truck driver, 64C30 and loved my time there. We were just down the street from Rose Barrack, but went there all the time to the movie theater and bowling alley ... the snack bar and the library ... and even played our softball league games there at Rose Barrack. I appreciate this video very much, but it also makes me very sad to see how the world we all knew back in the day is long gone!
1999-2002. I was present during the closing/transition to Wiesbaden Army Airfield. But BK was where I arrived/inprocessed in '99, and it was my introduction to Germany. Unfortunately, I remember the post gate boarded up and all the buildings in neglect and disrepair before I left in June of 2002. But to see all the changes in this video knocked me for a loop. My three+ years in Germany were some of the best I spent in the service.
I was stationed in BK from 1963 - 1965 with the 8th MPs and was a member of the 5th platoon honor guard. I took airborne training in Weisbaden and was stationed there from Jan 1965 until Sep 1965.
WOW. I was 8th Sig Bn C co 86 - 88. I then went to 97th Sig. on Coleman barracks in Manheim till 1992 but I spent my weekends in BK. I remember most of what you showed. Had my heart racing. In fact I proposed to my wife at the Hard Rock in BK. We have been married 24 years today. Thank you for the memories.
Thanks for all the info and videos. My first husband and i were stationed at minick kaserne from 73 thru 75. I still have photos of those times back 40 some years ago. I remmber taking the train to bk every morning and walking over the bridge to the kaserne every morning, going to px. I was saddened to find out itcwas demolished. But, not to be unexpected. I am glad i had the opportunity to have been there when i was. The photos i have are not the best quality any longer and have aged. Thanks so much again for sharing these photos and videos.
ELCO21 I backfilled there for about a month in late ‘91. Great times! Then it was back to Baumholder and Darmstadt. I think it was 8th MP Company; I was in the 92nd.
Thanks for your excellent video. I was at Rose Barracks in 71 and 72. HQ, 8th Sig Bn, 8th Inf Div. Really enjoyed BK, Nahe wines and touring surrounding countryside.
Like so many others I too was stationed there from 1993 to 1996. I actually stayed at Marshall barracks. I was with 1st Armored Engineer Brigade HQ. Thanks so much for the video. It was neat to see but made me sad at the same time. Dixie's every weekend!!!!😀
I was the club officer here 1969-71. My MOS was 1331 (Combat Engineer Officer) had a degree in food service. It was a popular place until the Army left. Now a chinese restaurant> What a shock Lots of fun memories.
WOW BK 60/63 A company radio teletype thanks for the video glad to see and hear our old company barracks still stand. Spent 2 1/2 years at 8th Sig of my young life covered 3 Christmases by the 3rd Christmas I was ready to go home. Don't remember or recognize most of the video. We spent most of our time in the field.
Wow..... I was born and raised there, moved to the states when I was almost 18 in 2001. Went back to visit in 2003 after I graduated HS..... So much has changed over there. I used to run them streets there like crazy. My mom used to work where the Chinese restaurant is now (NAHE CLUB)....... Will always be my home there
It was a trip down memory lane. I worked at the hospital kaserne from 1993 to 1997 as a NAF purchasing agent. Those 4 years were wonderful, It was nice having Bad Muenster near by with the great swimming pool. The Ebernberg Castle was a favorite place to go as well. Hate to see Rose Barracks torn down. I was there in 2005 for a visit and need to get back again, I miss it.
This was surreal watching this. I last visited in April of 96. I was detached from 32nd Signal to HQ 8th Signal in Dec of 82 to operated a Fixed Radio Teletype station in support of HQ 8th ID. I was there till July of 85. I married a local, shouldn't have, but her family treated me so well. I had a new home. I loved BK and still do. If you remember me feel free to leave a comment.
I was there in the HQ building PIO section from 59 to 61. Tremendous changes. I barely recognized anything beyond the buildings. Does the video show where the original entry gate was. I remember twin curved brick walls .
I was stationed at Minnink (then DesGottes) Kaserne 1954-1957. 264th FA Bn Atomic Cannon. 1955 bought new VW from Von Hoff for $945. Thanks for the ride - Nothing is the same.
I just left Bad Krueznach today the housing has been remolded to beautiful one and two bedroom apartments. B.K recovered from the militalry leaving, and is a thriving city now.
I was there from late 93 to early 95 part of 141 sig. I just found my 1st Armor division patch just like 2 days ago. Good times snaper heads some great memories. Name is Keeney, Leon message me. If you remember.
I moved to Rose barracks from Frankfurt with the 1st Armored Div. as a part of 141st Signal battalion in 1992. Was there from 92-93. Hard to believe it's gone, if you look at Satellite Photos on Google maps of the site you can still see the old baseball field and track.(fading away) I was also sad to see my old Kaserne Cambrai-Fritsch in Darmstadt is Abandoned now. Was there in 91 and 94. Every Kaserne I served on is now gone or empty, Sad. If you where there 92-93 E-mail me.
I lived about two blocks behind the PX on Beethoven in 74, 74 & 76. I attended the elementary school right behind our apartment. Man I wish that guy would have turned down that street. I would love to see what it looked like. I think the school is still there but the old neighborhood and all the apartments have been torn down. Great times and great memories.
The base ball field was on the edge of the compound. They cut a walk out gate in the cyclone fence so we could shag foul balls. When you checked out ball equipment they gave you a key for the lock on that gate and you locked the gate and turned the key back in along with the sports stuff. During the first game of the year one of guys went down town and had a couple dozen keys cut and passed them out to his pals. There was a parade of guys going in and out of that small gate almost every night. Fun times.
Wow. How it has changed. I was stationed in the Hospital kaserne with the 225th Station hospital shortly I arrived in country in 1986 thru 1988. I was transferred there from Landstuhl as a 91C. The Landstuhl grounds were huge compared to the Army grounds at Bad K. I though I had lucked out, but I ended up loving it. Thanks for the memories
Its so hard to remember how it was. I was there for a while in early 1975. My MOS was 76W10 but being female that didn't go so well for me. I ended up getting transferred to 8th Aviation and worked for the First Sargent. Left Mainz/Weisbaden in 1977 for Fort Carson CO.
Great video but yes it hurts to see that place has changed so very much. I was with my parents over there from the time frame of 89-92. I must say everyone that was stationed there at BK had no other choice but to get alone and be family that place really give me and some of my friends so many great memories. BK FOREVER!!!!
dante thornton ....ask him if he remembers BROOKS who worked in the TCC ....he would come get messages from my office every morning....he came to say bye to me my last day in B K
I was at the Hospital Kaserne in 25th Chemical Company from 1987 to 1989,but spent enough time on Rose Barracks to know it like the back of my hand ad it's sad to see how everything has changed,I do remember one thing ,During inprocessing at the processing the specialist behind the desk showed me a copy of Elvis Presley's transfer orders to be stationed from there to Friedburg.
I thought I was there, but it couldn't have been. Everything has changed so much. Was a 91B2P and went there sfter a year in Vietnam. The barracks were crap, hardly any heat, latrines were just a scoped out trench by the wall that piss froze in the winter leaving yellow ice. Seriously ... we had a "sit-in" outside HQ in 1970 to protest the conditions at the barracks ... thought we were all going to end up in jail, but I guess the brass realized the conditions also. ETSed about 3 weeks later and went home, by the looks of the barracks they must have done a lot of renovations around there. Then there was Madam Wunderbar at the PX ... sweetest old lady you ever met, made bratwurst and snitzel that have my mouth watering even now almost 50 years later.
Thank you for this video! So many memories, but I can't recognize much! At the end of the video my heart was pounding because I thought you were headed up the hill to Hospital Kaserne...were I was stationed with Foxtrot Company, 708th Support Battalion (8th ID) from '90-92. If anyone was there at that time please hit me up!
I lived there 1991-1993 time period. I think I liked it the way it was better then what I am seeing here. Guess with time all things must change though. Thank you for the video it brings back some old but good memories.
Wow, so much has changed, it doesn't even look like Rosebarracks anymore. I could make out the 1st AD Headquarters building and a few of the Company HQ building from 141st Signal Battalion. I was there from 94-97 with the 1st Armored Division.
I was in A Company (worked at the 2 & 4 Warehouse) and Headquarters Company (Command Sergeant Mobrey’s Driver) from January 1988 to January 1990 on Minick Kasserne.
Leo, we were on the same grounds. I was there in the HQ building PIO section from 59 to Sept. 61. I vaguely recognized the buildings but couldn't make out where the entry was.. There were twin curved brick walls and an MP booth but were probably taken down.
Went to the high school over by the hospital 70 to 73 and worked at the EES gas station by the PX. Anyone remember the name of the street behind the PX (where the laundry mat was)? Trying to find on google earth but everything has changed so much. I lived on the block between the AYA (American Youth Activities center) and the little boy scout bldg.
OH NOOOOOooooo....the Snack Bar is gone! There was a whole row of buildings, built by the German Army before WW2 that is gone and should be at the end of the empty field opposite the still standing buildings. The Snack Bar was in what had been the substantial German Army field house/gymnasium. I am very surprised that was torn down.
I certainly left a piece of my heart in B.K. I wonder, without the military, what other kind of industry and businesses are around? What is B.K. known for? And is Johnny's Pub still as packed?
Kreuznach has actually developed very well since the Army left. There are no fallow land like in other cities. With the exception of the shooting range on the Kuhberg, which was never touched, all areas are used today. There is not THE ONE company that BK is known for, it is a mix of all sectors of the economy. Before Corna, the unemployment rate was 4.6%. Johnny's Pub is closed. For a long time. But Johnny himself has parties 2-3 times a year in different locations.
+Doug Sears Rose Barracks closed in 2001...sad...I was stationed there from Jan 1984 until Jul 1985...wow, where does time go?...I was just 18 years old, now I'm 50! If anybody reads this who was stationed there during this time, please write me at bobzilla737@yahoo.com ...You would definitely remember me, SP4 Robert James Pierce ... the "130 lb weakling" in Jan 1984 and "Steel" the 220 lb monster in Jul 1985 lol... My active duty ended July 17, 1985 and I lived in the US for 5 months... I moved back to Bamberg Germany in Dec 85 right before Christmas... I trained at Roland's Sportstudio Bamberg, on the Siechenstrasse 37 and went on to compete in many bodybuilding contests... At 50 years old I still train and weigh 275lbs-295lbs... I am all over youtube as Robert James Pierce... I used to have the Bobzilla737 channel where I offered training tips to get huge but it became so busy I did not have the time to keep it up... I still have my music channel up, J Vernon McGee channel, and Bible 101 channel... sometimes various clips of me from bobzilla are still found floating around lol... I also wish that I could find my long lost Army friend who was stationed with me at Rose Barracks... His name is SGT Greg Lambert...AKA "Rock"... He was from Indiana I think, but I haven't been able to locate him since he left Rose Barracks just before me...
specially the hospital Neubaugebiet auf dem ehemaligen Hospital and (39) Fahrtvideo Bad Kreuznach vom Hospital zur Roseninsel to see how the place looks today
I was stationed at BK, 1979-1981. It is sad to watch this because I have so many memories. Thank you for sharing...
Wow!!! I've been in the Army for over 20 years and the best time was 93-95 when I was stationed in BK with 1st AD. I love that place and it is really sad that it is closed. I really appreciate the video. I love BK and hope to someday make my way back. Thank you for the video brought back a lot of memories of great times!!!
I was there ‘93-95 HHC DISCOM.
Omg geiles ding das gibts ja so alles gar nicht mehr schön das mal wieder zu sehen
Thanks very much. I was stationed there is Summer 1962 and re-visited in the 1980s. I am still friends w/ a German family I met while in the Army. I was especially fond of Die Bruecke Hausen, Orienen Park and Kur Haus.
I left Moncks Corner, South Carolina, with my father who was and Enlisted Service Member in the US Army. I was 4 years old and my memory had started to develop around age 3. We celebrated my 5th birthday here in Bad Kreuznach, West Germany 🇩🇪, in 1972. My first experience of West Germany I hated it. I was a young punk kid who didn't know anything at the time. As the years went by, going to Kindergarten not far from the Main American Elementary and Middle School. The High School kids were bussed to a different area but I don't know exactly where.

There's nothing like seeing those Medieval Era Castles lit up at night, or the Cruise Ship going through the elevation Locks and experiencing cultures to a young kid. We lived in the housing area, the second building from the main road to Rose Barracks. My Dad and Step-Mom were big Bowling 🎳 fans, so I'd play out by the dumpster with the other kids. I was a very slow learner in school, which is one of the reasons I didn't enjoy Bad Kreuznach. My Step-Mom slowed it down, and I began to understand the class work.

And I'm a Caucasian. I truly wasn't prepared for this as a young kid. But that's another story of experience for a different time. West Germany, the both times because we returned 9 years later to Kitzingen, West Germany 🇩🇪. I so much wish American kids could have the opportunities to study abroad in American High Schools. Because most high school proms are in either high school gyms, hotels but not very eventful compared to American students in West Germany having there High School Proms in Ancient Medieval 🏰 Castles. Spring Break is going down to Paris, France 🇫🇷, going down the French Riviera. There's just no comparison. But the most important part of going to school in West Germany, Italy, or even England is that we were there because the US Military along with the NATO Allies, to allow Western Europe to decide for themselves what government that they want, not by force as the Soviet Union did to East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary 🇭🇺, Romania 🇷🇴, Poland 🇵🇱, Albania 🇦🇱, Bulgaria 🇧🇬 and tried to do to Yugoslavia. All were forced by Soviet Russia to have Communist governments influenced by Moscow. There were more like the Ukraine 🇺🇦, Belarus 🇧🇾, Lithuania 🇱🇹, Estonia 🇪🇪, and a couple more.

We all have a legacy greater than anything.
I attended high school in Bad Kreuznach in the early 60's. Wow....this video takes me back to Deutschland, for sure! My mother was German and many of our German relatives lived in town--so we felt like we were home. Good, good memories.
Thank you very much to the makers of this video. I was stationed at the hospital kaserne from 92-96 and lived on Stromberger Str. I loved being there and miss all the wonderful friends I had to leave behind.
My sister was born at the BK hospital in 1961. She has a State Dept Birth Certificate.
W O W !!! Things have changed since my time over there! My father was stationed there in 1958. He worked at the US Army Hospital and decided to stay in BK after he retired in 1962, so I lived there from the age of 7 to 21. Went to the elementary school up through the 6th grade when my father retired. We resided at Bldg 5608, Apt C-5, right across the street from the PX, where my mom worked as cashier in the clothing store until she passed away in 1975.
As kids (2 sisters and a baby brother), my older sister would take my little sister and me to the Saturday matinee at the Rose Barracks and Sundays, I sang in the church choir there as well. But my favorite hang-out was the news stand at the PX, which was located between the snackbar and the clothing store. After school, my younger sister and I bagged merchandise at our mother's station and afterwards, I'd get my daily fix of Mad Magazine, Superman, Batman, Spiderman, The Fantastic 4, Thor, Little Lulu, Richie Rich, Casper the Friendly Ghost, and Archie comic books until the old German who worked there, would once again kick me out for the day. I'd always be back the next day though and after promising and hope to die, that I would not leave dog ears on the pages, he would grudgingly allow me to pour over the latest shipment until payday when I would make my careful selections and later take assorted comic books to the playground where us Army Brats would haggle and trade our stash. Then we'd do the same with our marbles.
Summertimes would find us at the Salinental Schwimmbad and picnic grounds or cooling off with grape, cherry, or orange popsicles from the Foodland. In the winter, our older sister would make us kids delicious hot chocolate with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and plenty of Hershey's chocolate syrup and whipped cream, where she worked at the Dad's Club down by the school.
Later, in 1968, I would work for the same company, but assigned to the Des Gutes Casern(Minnick), where after a very rocky beginning, I would grow to love my "big brothers", who were stationed there.
Hey Curly, Fang and Capt. ShortRound (to name a few)! Hope you're all doing well!
Back then, the Des Gutes Casern had a reputation for being "Bad Ass"!
My boss gave me his blessings as I reluctantly agreed to start there until another spot opened. Practically on a daily basis, my little hole-in-the-wall shop would get broken into and cigarettes, coffee, gum and candy would get snagged. MP's would come to my home to take me to the shop, where a bored investigator would take a statement as to my operating hours, missing items, any clues, etc. Next day I'd open shop as usual and the guys, grinning would file into the shop to assess my state of mind.
Even my boss got tired of having to change the locks all the time, so he decided to install a heavy duty steel door and lock. He'd like to see them break into THAT!
They blew the door open and carted off all the usual stuff!
When the guys trooped in, grinning, I could only stare at them in seething outrage.
I'd had it!
I grabbed the newly replaced cartons of cigarettes, the cans of coffee and shoved them on the counter. I threw all the candy and gum on top of the pile. As the gaping guys looked on, I tore off my apron and along with the useless shop keys and the opening $20 of bills and change, threw them across the room and yelled, "what's the use, here you go!" and I stumbled out of there, crying.
I ran into the motor pool building and into its only bathroom to have a good cry. I cried even harder when I saw the writing on the bathroom wall, "FOR A GOOD TIME, CALL EMILIE"!
After a bit, I became aware of someone tapping on the door. At first, I didn't answer but the guy asked me to please come out, they were sorry and wanted to make it up to me. I renewed my crying and wailed, "it's a little late for that!"
But the voice on the other end was persistent, "no, please come out, we put all your stuff back in place and we brought your other stuff back too! C'mon, we're sorry. We won't do it again."
So I rinsed my swollen red eyes and stepped outside.
"Aw gee!", after taking one look at me.
I slowly followed him back to the shop. As I stepped inside, I noticed the newly installed wooden door. The guys were all standing around and stepped aside as I approached. The counter had been tidied up; cigarettes and coffee had been put away, gum and candy had been neatly stacked on the shelves. The coffee was perking, the hot dog machine was turned on, and there behind the counter stood one of the guys, wearing my apron telling me how much he'd taken in, and urging me to count the till; they'd picked up every last penny, off the counter and the floor, but wanted me to count it to make sure nothing was amiss.
After I reclaimed my apron, they asked if there was anything, anything at all that they could do to make up for the hard time they gave me.
That bathroom wall came to mind.
The next day, they showed me the bathroom, they'd whitewashed the walls.
When my boss informed me that another opening had become vacant, I politely declined and told him that I thought I'd stick to where I was at.
For the remainder of my time working there, my "big brothers" and I formed a bond of friendship, of which the precious memories for me, will last a lifetime.
These were the guys who renamed my shop, "The Sugar Shack" after the song:
ruclips.net/video/iHzjfGF6MiU/видео.html
If I went dancing at the discotheques downtown with my friends, and someone tried to bother me, invariably, a soldier and his buddies that frequented the Dad's Club would come up and growl, "you leave our Dad Shack Girl alone" and hustle the offender off.
These were the same guys who brought me back a bird's nest with little eggs in it when they came back from field duty operations, in the hopes that I could save them by putting their nest on the little radiator.
These were the guys who set up a "cuss box" on the counter and filled it with such "awful language" like, "darn, oh shucks, blast" so I could buy a radio so that they could listen to their favorite music station .
These were the guys who respected the sign I put over the doorway entrance, "PLEASE TAKE OFF YOUR CAP AND RANK BEFORE ENTERING" and Privates, NCO's and Officers, took their turns taking out the trash and swept and mopped the floor.
These were the guys who'd ask me for the car keys to my 1956 fire engine red karmann ghia and it would be outside the door after my work day, with a snazzy bucket seat installed, and racing stripes painted along its sides.
These were the guys who joined me in my car, there were about 7 of us, armed with bowling balls, all of us squeezed inside for a ride to the bowling alley at the Rose Barracks on New Year's Day!
These were my big brothers who came trooping into my shop before departure to Vietnam for a free cup of coffee, and a kiss for safekeeping.
These were bitter-sweet times as I watched my "big brothers" eventually get selected, one by one, for a tour of duty to Vietnam.
Wonderful, bitter-sweet memories...
I live at Bldg 5634 B5 from 1960 to 1962 and went to the elementary school. My third grade teacher was Ms Monyahan and my 4th grade teacher was Ms Simmons.
Thanks for the memories. I was stationed at Rose Barracks 1967-69. I most remember the saline water structures in the park that senior Germans went to for their health. I also have fond memories when I lived in a weingut's home. The frau would bring me new wine and I can recall a lot of fine dinners at their home. Their wine cellars were under the house and I saw a lot of expensive aged wine in vats. I once helped pick grapes by hand in their field and was completely worn out by evening.
my wife and kids were stationed at rose Barracks 1991-1994, My 4th son was born there, at St mary worth downtown BK, we had a great time, Garmish,Berchtschgarden etc, A company 141st(worst) sig 1st platoon, omg, the sat vidoes wanna make me cry,
Anyone there during this time, email me, it has been so long, Kuburg hill, running the vineyards with SFC Carter on Tuesdays, Fat 1st sgt Saucedo, SFC Roby, Sgt Rybicki, SSg Tyrone Morning, on e of the best NCOs I ever had, wow, this could go on, living up behind the bier garden, riding the bike to the back "signal"gate,
Doug Sears marienwörth Krankenhaus 😊
I was there from Nov 98 to Apr 01. B Co 141st Sg Bn HQ Plt Motorpool. I was happy to stumble across this video but I have to admit, it broke my heart. looks completely different. had some of the best times of my life there. the locals were fantastic people. still want to re-visit tho.
Hey Bobby!
In 1959 I belonged to the 12 Eng. Btn. in Dexhiem and was TDY to Rose Barracks. Was bunked in with a 1/4 master Co. I was in S4 Eng. Supply and was operating out of BK. We went to Kaiserslautern once a week, pickup Eng. supplies, went back to BK, sorted, and then delivered around the Div. Short 4 day week and had a 24 hour class A pass in my pocket. There were three enlisted, one NCO, (and a first louie we never saw. No guard duty or KP. Good duty.
Thanks for uploading this. Very bittersweet. I miss that place and am sad that most of the bldgs have been torn down. I am also astounded to see how BK has changed in 20+ years. I was at Rose Barracks from 88-90.
I lived in BLDG 5634, apt B5 from 1960-1962. Yes, very bittersweet to see this.
My family was stationed in BK 1961 through Dec 64. My mother was German and was from Bad Kreuznach, so we lived with relatives for a while and then moved to a new residential street just off base (Wieland Strasse). I enjoyed this video so much and still have fond memories of Deutschland. Wish you had video of the high school...although, maybe it was torn down?
Thank you for posting this I lived here in 1970 -1973 as a child, great memories.
I served with the 8th S&B Bn in Minick Kasserne in 1976 and 1977 ... I was a truck driver, 64C30 and loved my time there. We were just down the street from Rose Barrack, but went there all the time to the movie theater and bowling alley ... the snack bar and the library ... and even played our softball league games there at Rose Barrack. I appreciate this video very much, but it also makes me very sad to see how the world we all knew back in the day is long gone!
specially the hospital Neubaugebiet auf dem ehemaligen Hospital and (39) Fahrtvideo Bad Kreuznach vom Hospital zur Roseninsel
I was stationed @ Rose Barracks in the 8th Sig Co. B in 1968-69. Loved it there Thanks for the memories.
Was with Co B and HHD Jan 69 through Aug 70
1999-2002. I was present during the closing/transition to Wiesbaden Army Airfield. But BK was where I arrived/inprocessed in '99, and it was my introduction to Germany. Unfortunately, I remember the post gate boarded up and all the buildings in neglect and disrepair before I left in June of 2002. But to see all the changes in this video knocked me for a loop. My three+ years in Germany were some of the best I spent in the service.
I was stationed in BK from 1963 - 1965 with the 8th MPs and was a member of the 5th platoon honor guard. I took airborne training in Weisbaden and was stationed there from Jan 1965 until Sep 1965.
WOW. I was 8th Sig Bn C co 86 - 88. I then went to 97th Sig. on Coleman barracks in Manheim till 1992 but I spent my weekends in BK. I remember most of what you showed. Had my heart racing. In fact I proposed to my wife at the Hard Rock in BK. We have been married 24 years today. Thank you for the memories.
Thanks for all the info and videos. My first husband and i were stationed at minick kaserne from 73 thru 75. I still have photos of those times back 40 some years ago. I remmber taking the train to bk every morning and walking over the bridge to the kaserne every morning, going to px. I was saddened to find out itcwas demolished. But, not to be unexpected. I am glad i had the opportunity to have been there when i was. The photos i have are not the best quality any longer and have aged. Thanks so much again for sharing these photos and videos.
Great video, thanks for posting. I was an MP there from 95-97. Stationed at both Rose Barracks and Hospital Kaserne. Nice trip down memory lane.
ELCO21 I backfilled there for about a month in late ‘91. Great times! Then it was back to Baumholder and Darmstadt.
I think it was 8th MP Company; I was in the 92nd.
Thanks for your excellent video. I was at Rose Barracks in 71 and 72. HQ, 8th Sig Bn, 8th Inf Div. Really enjoyed BK, Nahe wines and touring surrounding countryside.
Like so many others I too was stationed there from 1993 to 1996. I actually stayed at Marshall barracks. I was with 1st Armored Engineer Brigade HQ. Thanks so much for the video. It was neat to see but made me sad at the same time. Dixie's every weekend!!!!😀
I was the club officer here 1969-71. My MOS was 1331 (Combat Engineer Officer) had a degree in food service. It was a popular place until the Army left. Now a chinese restaurant> What a shock Lots of fun memories.
I haven't cried in years! I spent a small portion of my childhood here. Lived a block away from the PX.
We also did winter training at Baumholder Barracks. Jan of 1960. Interesting 30 days. Slept in shelter halves.
WOW BK 60/63 A company radio teletype thanks for the video glad to see and hear our old company barracks still stand. Spent 2 1/2 years at 8th Sig of my young life covered 3 Christmases by the 3rd Christmas I was ready to go home. Don't remember or recognize most of the video. We spent most of our time in the field.
Wow..... I was born and raised there, moved to the states when I was almost 18 in 2001. Went back to visit in 2003 after I graduated HS..... So much has changed over there. I used to run them streets there like crazy. My mom used to work where the Chinese restaurant is now (NAHE CLUB)....... Will always be my home there
I was stationed in BK from 1980 until 1983.
It was a trip down memory lane. I worked at the hospital kaserne from 1993 to 1997 as a NAF purchasing agent. Those 4 years were wonderful, It was nice having Bad Muenster near by with the great swimming pool. The Ebernberg Castle was a favorite place to go as well. Hate to see Rose Barracks torn down. I was there in 2005 for a visit and need to get back again, I miss it.
This was surreal watching this. I last visited in April of 96. I was detached from 32nd Signal to HQ 8th Signal in Dec of 82 to operated a Fixed Radio Teletype station in support of HQ 8th ID. I was there till July of 85. I married a local, shouldn't have, but her family treated me so well. I had a new home. I loved BK and still do. If you remember me feel free to leave a comment.
I was there in the HQ building PIO section from 59 to 61. Tremendous changes. I barely recognized anything beyond the buildings. Does the video show where the original entry gate was. I remember twin curved brick walls .
Same here Don BK 60/63 A company 053.
I was stationed at Minnink (then DesGottes) Kaserne 1954-1957. 264th FA Bn Atomic Cannon. 1955 bought new VW from Von Hoff for $945. Thanks for the ride - Nothing is the same.
love the video i was there from 92' to 94 1st Armor Division great times
I just left Bad Krueznach today the housing has been remolded to beautiful one and two bedroom apartments. B.K recovered from the militalry leaving, and is a thriving city now.
I was there Jan 85- Feb 88 , Minnick Kaserne, I was married in the Rathaus downtown, we plan on going back in 2021!!
Our family was stationed over there with our dad from Dec 85 - june 89. He was in A company 708th support battalion
I was in Bco the same period. My name is Sgt JohnGaydos who was your Dad.?
I wasn't there when Rose barracks was active but I was stationed in Dexheim. I use come here often and I am in love with this town.
I was there from late 93 to early 95 part of 141 sig. I just found my 1st Armor division patch just like 2 days ago. Good times snaper heads some great memories. Name is Keeney, Leon message me. If you remember.
It kind of hurts to see that ... I miss those times so much even so its almost 20 years ago 1994 Dixies and all
La Paz, Metropol, Capri Bar,Remember Me, Hambo, Blue Marlyn @ all togehter there is no longer 😢
I moved to Rose barracks from Frankfurt with the 1st Armored Div. as a part
of 141st Signal battalion in 1992. Was there from 92-93. Hard to believe it's
gone, if you look at Satellite Photos on Google maps of the site you can still see
the old baseball field and track.(fading away) I was also sad to see my old Kaserne Cambrai-Fritsch in Darmstadt is Abandoned now. Was there in 91 and 94. Every Kaserne I served on
is now gone or empty, Sad. If you where there 92-93 E-mail me.
Wow, my home from 1990-94. (B Co 8 Sig BN/B Co 141 Sig BN) The good ol' days.
What’s your real name
I lived about two blocks behind the PX on Beethoven in 74, 74 & 76. I attended the elementary school right behind our apartment. Man I wish that guy would have turned down that street. I would love to see what it looked like. I think the school is still there but the old neighborhood and all the apartments have been torn down. Great times and great memories.
The base ball field was on the edge of the compound. They cut a walk out gate in the cyclone fence so we could shag foul balls. When you checked out ball equipment they gave you a key for the lock on that gate and you locked the gate and turned the key back in along with the sports stuff. During the first game of the year one of guys went down town and had a couple dozen keys cut and passed them out to his pals. There was a parade of guys going in and out of that small gate almost every night. Fun times.
Wow. How it has changed. I was stationed in the Hospital kaserne with the 225th Station hospital shortly I arrived in country in 1986 thru 1988. I was transferred there from Landstuhl as a 91C. The Landstuhl grounds were huge compared to the Army grounds at Bad K. I though I had lucked out, but I ended up loving it. Thanks for the memories
Its so hard to remember how it was. I was there for a while in early 1975. My MOS was 76W10 but being female that didn't go so well for me. I ended up getting transferred to 8th Aviation and worked for the First Sargent. Left Mainz/Weisbaden in 1977 for Fort Carson CO.
Great video but yes it hurts to see that place has changed so very much. I was with my parents over there from the time frame of 89-92. I must say everyone that was stationed there at BK had no other choice but to get alone and be family that place really give me and some of my friends so many great memories. BK FOREVER!!!!

I was a 91 bravo, medic 1978/79. Sgt Whitfield my platoon leader. I remember freezing tent city Bondholders. I married Gary Gibson in Copenhagen.
1972 to 1974 BK Hospital Corpsman. Went back two year ago.
BK Rose Barracks-8th.Inf.Div.Band 1967/68 So many fond memories.
I was there 1987-1990 225th station hospital in bad kreuznach
I was at the Hospital Kaserne in 25th Chemical Company from 1987 to 1989,but spent enough time on Rose Barracks to know it like the back of my hand ad it's sad to see how everything has changed,I do remember one thing ,During inprocessing at the processing the specialist behind the desk showed me a copy of Elvis Presley's transfer orders to be stationed from there to Friedburg.
I miss the times with the US Army ...here in BK...they were a part of my Childhood...kind regards on my Football-Couch Mr.Michael Diggy🎉❤
I thought I was there, but it couldn't have been. Everything has changed so much. Was a 91B2P and went there sfter a year in Vietnam. The barracks were crap, hardly any heat, latrines were just a scoped out trench by the wall that piss froze in the winter leaving yellow ice. Seriously ... we had a "sit-in" outside HQ in 1970 to protest the conditions at the barracks ... thought we were all going to end up in jail, but I guess the brass realized the conditions also. ETSed about 3 weeks later and went home, by the looks of the barracks they must have done a lot of renovations around there. Then there was Madam Wunderbar at the PX ... sweetest old lady you ever met, made bratwurst and snitzel that have my mouth watering even now almost 50 years later.
Thank you for this video! So many memories, but I can't recognize much! At the end of the video my heart was pounding because I thought you were headed up the hill to Hospital Kaserne...were I was stationed with Foxtrot Company, 708th Support Battalion (8th ID) from '90-92. If anyone was there at that time please hit me up!
I lived there 1991-1993 time period. I think I liked it the way it was better then what I am seeing here. Guess with time all things must change though. Thank you for the video it brings back some old but good memories.
Wow, so much has changed, it doesn't even look like Rosebarracks anymore. I could make out the 1st AD Headquarters building and a few of the Company HQ building from 141st Signal Battalion. I was there from 94-97 with the 1st Armored Division.
I was a 91 bravo, medic 1978/79. Sgt Witfield my platoon leader. I remember freezing tent city bomholder
I was a 91 bravo, medic 1978/79. Sgt Whitfield my platoon leader. I remember freezing tent city Bonholder.
I Serviced at Minick Kasserne in 1988 to 1992 all the memories kind of sad to see the old girls are gone.
I was in A Company (worked at the 2 & 4 Warehouse) and Headquarters Company (Command Sergeant Mobrey’s Driver) from January 1988 to January 1990 on Minick Kasserne.
I was her in 58 to 60 in the 2nd evacuation hospital on the hospital karserne.
Leo, we were on the same grounds. I was there in the HQ building PIO section from 59 to Sept. 61. I vaguely recognized the buildings but couldn't make out where the entry was.. There were twin curved brick walls and an MP booth but were probably taken down.
I was there 1970-1972
awesome video ..i love it thank you so much for posting it..
I remember from the 90`s ... a cute girl was the security at the gate.....changes very much
i wash estacioned in minníck kasern in the year 1970 to 1972 my name is efrain garcia it was so good
Went to the high school over by the hospital 70 to 73 and worked at the EES gas station by the PX. Anyone remember the name of the street behind the PX (where the laundry mat was)? Trying to find on google earth but everything has changed so much. I lived on the block between the AYA (American Youth Activities center) and the little boy scout bldg.
OH NOOOOOooooo....the Snack Bar is gone! There was a whole row of buildings, built by the German Army before WW2 that is gone and should be at the end of the empty field opposite the still standing buildings. The Snack Bar was in what had been the substantial German Army field house/gymnasium. I am very surprised that was torn down.
Love you! UKULELE ATLANTA HOLLY and BEAR! USA VIRGINIA
I certainly left a piece of my heart in B.K.
I wonder, without the military, what other kind of industry and businesses are around? What is B.K. known for?
And is Johnny's Pub still as packed?
Kreuznach has actually developed very well since the Army left. There are no fallow land like in other cities. With the exception of the shooting range on the Kuhberg, which was never touched, all areas are used today. There is not THE ONE company that BK is known for, it is a mix of all sectors of the economy. Before Corna, the unemployment rate was 4.6%.
Johnny's Pub is closed. For a long time. But Johnny himself has parties 2-3 times a year in different locations.
I WAS HERE BEFORE SIX MONTHS...IS REALY NICE PLACE
Thanks for liking and commenting!
Dante Thornton...Was you dad Sgt Thornton and worked in the Top Secret office on Rose Barracks during 1988=1990?
What a great video. We left Bk in July 1994. When did it close.
+Doug Sears Rose Barracks closed in 2001...sad...I was stationed there from Jan 1984 until Jul 1985...wow, where does time go?...I was just 18 years old, now I'm 50! If anybody reads this who was stationed there during this time, please write me at bobzilla737@yahoo.com ...You would definitely remember me, SP4 Robert James Pierce ... the "130 lb weakling" in Jan 1984 and "Steel" the 220 lb monster in Jul 1985 lol... My active duty ended July 17, 1985 and I lived in the US for 5 months... I moved back to Bamberg Germany in Dec 85 right before Christmas... I trained at Roland's Sportstudio Bamberg, on the Siechenstrasse 37 and went on to compete in many bodybuilding contests... At 50 years old I still train and weigh 275lbs-295lbs... I am all over youtube as Robert James Pierce... I used to have the Bobzilla737 channel where I offered training tips to get huge but it became so busy I did not have the time to keep it up... I still have my music channel up, J Vernon McGee channel, and Bible 101 channel... sometimes various clips of me from bobzilla are still found floating around lol... I also wish that I could find my long lost Army friend who was stationed with me at Rose Barracks... His name is SGT Greg Lambert...AKA "Rock"... He was from Indiana I think, but I haven't been able to locate him since he left Rose Barracks just before me...
When did Germany become a right hand drive in the cars?
specially the hospital Neubaugebiet auf dem ehemaligen Hospital and (39) Fahrtvideo Bad Kreuznach vom Hospital zur Roseninsel to see how the place looks today
