- A trip back to Wurzburg American High School in 1989, 17 years after I graduated. I wanted to show my kids my high school. Some video of the PX area and long distance video of the castle seen from a rest stop.
3:47 I used to live on Leighton Barracks in Skyline in building 129 apt R1, I had the first parking space. I was with HHC 1st ID attached to 121 Sig BN in Kitzingen. Great memories. 🙂💛
Thank you so much for posting this!
I was stationed at Leighton Barracks in 1973, I have great memories from those days. I was part of HHC DISCOM. SUPPORT COMMAND, First Sgt
Arwine Jones aka “Top”, a great guy! Anyone who remembers or was there back, please say hello! ESP. if you have some photo’s you’d like to share.
Cheers! btw - we had the best mess hall anywhere!! In summer they made a huge BBQ Grill, steaks, chicken, burgers hot dogs, fresh fruit & veggies,
they really took good care of us! Thanks to the Mess Hall gang... awesome job!
Wow I was there from 94-96!!! Sad to see it's no more. So many memories of this place I once called home. Miss Germany Alot
I was there when this was filmed.. I bought tears to my eyes to see my elementary school... and the commissary.. I loved it there ..
Being german, I grew up in Gerbrunn, went with my friend regularly to Skyline area and, of course, raised on the best hot dogs and ice cream one could imagine.
The Leighton area is now being converted into a student campus. Many, many things have changed. (You might find a few new videos on RUclips.)
Being teenagers then we enjoyed the friendship week and everything that was allowed for us to visit.
This is a chance for me to say "THANK YOU" to all the people who were here over many years, far away from their families and country.
I had some friends in Gerbrunn. We used to go to the pool and sportverein and I would take them on base sometimes. Was there 84-87. Great times.

Yes, and it was in the eighties when we had the best rock concerts in Wuerzburgs Carl-Diem-Halle and even smaller places. Queen, Tina Turner, Huey Lewis, Foreigner and Michael Jacksons Open Air at Mainwiesen.
AC/DC with Bon Scott and Iron Maiden at Lengfelds sportshall „Kürnachtalhalle“.
Great music, good shows and fantastic beer and fun with those american guys. (Sometimes the MP had to stop to much enthusiasm. 😁)
I will always remember those times.
I moved here in 1986 and left in 1989. Lived right across from the Elementary school. Ms Pazel and Ms Flishmen were my teachers.
Wow !!! We where watching and can see our blue bronco II parked by the bx ,amazing, it was one of a kind. We put runningboards and bugshield on it !!!!
I want to highschool here from 2002-2006. I miss it so much.
Class of 1974. Attended WAHS from 1972 to 1974; lived in Skyline. Thanks so much for posting this; I never did get back there before the high school was torn down. What great memories! This is great for me and my sisters to show to our kids.
I went to that high School 70 to 73 graduated from there I used to have classes out in the old Quonset huts I lived in kitzingen and had to be bust their I went to the high school reunion in Las Vegas in 2003
That was awesome to see. Lived in the building facing the high school gym 131 R7 from 76-81. Great times and great friends growing up in Warburg!
Wow! I lived in Building 129 Apt R1 from 2002-2005. I have so many great memories of Germany. I met a great friend while stationed there and we are still friends to this day (although the distance between us is great). Loved this duty station.....
Lived there from 94-98. Paradise. Love the video dude.
I lived there from 90-92 after moving from Schweinfurt... Ilived in Lengfeld though, outside of Leighton... Miss it sooooooo much!!!
Brings back so many memories
Thank you for the video, I went to the Elementary School right across the street from the High School around the same time you were there (early 70's).
I went to WAHS for 9th grade ('81 to ' 82) I was on the track team. I loved watching the Prancing Paws (the dance squad) and just enjoyed pretty much everything about my experience there. Wurzburg was by far my favorite place we lived as Army brats. I have very very very fond, happy, golden memories of the school and of the city. Thank you for posting this :)
loved watching this! i lived there from '92-'96.. thanks for posting!
Thank you SO MUCH for this upload! I was at Wurzburg with my mother (Air Force) '99-2002 before being moved to Ramstein AFB and when September 11th happened I remember it being the scariest thing for us all on that base! So many good memories were had there and it's sad to know its no longer active anymore:(
That's crazy I remember mr kowalski wit his craZy mustache and crazy science classes
Haha hell yea! Mr.Kowalski was cool dude with that big handlebar mustache!!🤣😂
Very cool. My family lived there in Skyline from 1970-1973 in Building 120. Wow, this is so neat to see your video. Thanks for posting. I hope to get over there sometime. I was there from 1-3 grade.
My old apartment at 4:38, from Dec 94 to Feb 98!!!
This is great !!
Class of 2000. Until Facebook I never considered my connection with Alumni from the HS inception
tmikels68, I lived there too. Right across from the DYA, Memories..wow.
what the fuck...
Leighton Barracks 😳
oh dear, we MISS Leighton Barracks😔
gots to share this with my old crew- BIG THANKS or this, fella ♫♥♫
cheers!
I went to elementary school 72 - 76, yes tin shacks 😄 yo-yo's ans marbles.
Ken Olsen..I went to the elementary school from 1973-75..I believe we were in 104 /R8 it was across from the grade school..I probably knew you there..my graduation year was 82
Ken Olsen...Yo Yo's and marbles..damn that brings me back..I used to gamble on the playground..I had a shoebox with holes and if you made it in a hole you got the number of marbles marked above the hole..I had thousands...a friend of mine got caught by a teacher and they took all of his marbles away and dumped them in a fish tank by the office
I miss the time
Lots of changes here. I went to school at WAHS in 65/66. The housing area was known as "Easter Egg Village" because they were painted various pastel colors. Legend had it that a General's wife thought the area was so drab and that it needed some color...
♥♥♥
I lived there from 90-95 and was done with 1st grade there before we left. We lived in the building right beside the Green gazebo seen @ 5:00
My family lived right across from the (then called) AYA (American Youth Association) and my brother graduated in 1972 from WAHS, so he was probably a classmate of yours!
This was interesting to watch!! I did not know it was once an airfield. There is more of Leighton barracks on RUclips: Got to The Big Picture "Broken Bridge" starring Audie Murphy and, possibly, "3rd Infantry"
BTW: leighton barracks has been vacated by the US Army about three years ago; I believe that a nearby university or college is taking over the site. And Wurzburg Hospital is being converted into apartments
i use to live right across the street from the dya thats what it was back in the day anyone remember the dances or the lock ins lol
The dances and camping trips.
It was the DYA when I went there too. I remember those dances LOL
1:55 wow thats where my then girlfriend lived! This was very nice to see even though I was going there 13 years after this video was shot (2002. class of 05). I would like to go back to visit but I heard the school might get knocked down since the area was handed back over to the Germans.
@winafreeze Was that building 104? I lived in R7 building 104 from '86-'91
There '79-'82. The wolves are on facebook: under Wurzburg American High School Alumni, and another site: wurzburgwolvesdotcom Reunite with the pack!
Great video! It changed a lot in 7 years from when I left in '82. Big open field and the airstrip was still there! Bagged groceries at the old commissary...
Any one here have mrs. GIZZY in elementary school..
I lived in wertheim but commuted to wurzburg
I lived in 125 R-8 from 78-82
Did anyone have mrs. GIZZY FOR 1ST grade while they were here ..??
Umm I think so. It was the second one once you turned onto that street
