- Ehem. Standort der US Truppen. Pirmasens Army Depot Husterhöhkaserne mit Wohnanlagen (Housings). 1997 räumten die US-Truppen fast vollständig ihren Standort Husterhöhe. Durch die Konversion des ehem. Kasernengeländes sind zum Teil schon neue Gewerbeflächen, Universität, Fachhochschule, das neue städtische Stadion, Automeile u.s.w. entstanden.
Jetzt findet man nur noch das US Medical Center Materiel, Europa (USAMMCE) in Pirmasens auf der Husterhöhe.
546th Maintenance. Pride in service!
Pirm was my first duty station in Germany back in 83. It was a very fun and rockin' place to be stationed. But then I got sent out to a shitty line battery and from there got sent to that toilet Baumholder. I can honestly say Pirm was the best place overseas I was every stationed. Too bad it was closed and has fallen into such a state of decay.
Good memories, I was only there a few times. Best trip was about 1974 for my promotion ceremony. Couldn't get an Army vehicle so I drove my POV. Folks were a bit excited when they realized that I had my weapon and other gear in the trunk! An interesting day.
I lived in Pirmasens, in 1966-69', when I was seven years old. Wonderful memories, of base apartment living, friendships,the schools, playground, the sheepherder, across the roadway, herding the sheep right beside the base housingbuildings! We would watch from the window, from the second floor. The beautiful Chapel, which we could see,from the rear windows. The roofs of the buildings, being remodeled, from flat, to pitched. The 'Gummy Bear Man',who always overcharged on the candy. Trading comic books, from floor to floor, playing 45' singles records,that my father, a Master Seargent and MP, would bring from the jukebox from the 193rd Military Police Company,where he worked. The records were like new, and we would get the most recent music, as the jukebox wasupdated with newer records. The Cinerama, a small, military movie theater, where you got to see movies for.25¢. Weekend trips to visit castles, boat rides on the Rhine River, shopping and eating at German stores and restaurants. Going around the corner, on Sundays, to get the newspaper for my dad, at the PX snackbar.The Frontier Club, where you had a great meal, with beautiful tropical fishtanks, and a floor show. My momfirst saw Charlie Pride perform there. Christmas was pure magic, with all the snow there was in the Winter.Stairwells, skating on the sidewalks, walking to school, coming home, for lunch, and walking downtown,to shop the open markets, and a great toystore. The movie theater, where we first saw, The Sound ofMusic.
We lived in both Pirmasens and Zweibrucken 1970-1974 and there was a Schnellimbiss midway between the two towns that had the most delicious curry wurst and pommes frites ever!
March 73 to July 77 I was stationed in Clausen which is north of Pirmasens. We had to go to Pirmasens quite a bit for personnel and finance matters as well as the theater, commissary and PX. I have a lot of great memories of playing for the post softball team and meeting some very nice German people in the area. This video brings back a lot of memories.
This video was a nice reminder for me. I was stationed there from 84-86 with an MI detachment. I was only in the barracks for a short period until my off-base housing was approved, then I moved to a little apartment in Rodalben. Our MI detachment didn't actually work on base; we were in a house near a gate on Rodalberstrasse and Massachusetts Ave. This video brings back some great memories.
I was in the 565th Ord Co at Husterhohe from 87-90, lived in the banana building 3rd floor on the down hill end - room with the balcony with Dave, Ed, and Rodney! Party'n town for sure, miss it - would love to go back. Absolutely beautiful area!
Hey John!
I was in the 546th maintenance company from 79 -81. I have great memories of my time there. To bad it looks run down. On the week end i would hitchhike out to the countryside and going hiking in the hills. Wonderful !

Oh jeh, schon wieder so lange her.Gut gemacht mit dem Clip und der Slideshow
The base housing building, shown at the very end of the video, is the very one my family and I.live in.
I was there in 1971-73 and I remember the curry wurst outside the gate on the left and the place across the street had great snitzel I was in the building on the right on the second floor. It was the start of my military career. OMG did I have alot of fun there. if anyone was stationed there with me left me know ok I was PFC Richard Whytsell. would love to chat with my fellow soldiers....I was also later the chaplains assistance for the catholic priest in the chapel just down the street on the right.
Hallo Roland, Gruß vom Roland vom Schillereck, weiter so ! ! 😊
Was stationed there with the 59th Ord...165th Signal Tac.Sattellite!! from Jul. 86 to Sep. 1988... Alot of great times! Almost stayed if it wasn't for reenlisting with buddy to 82nd Airborne!!
165th Signal, 05CV9, 83'-84'. If we were there, I'd toast you with a Parkbrau and some currywurst. Don't know how long personnel might have stayed on there, but it's remotely possible that we had the pleasure of a few mutual acquaintances. I regret that as a 19-year-old kid I didn't make more of the experience of being there in Germany, but as you probably know, we V9ers were always on shifts that made things a bit restrictive. Anyway, hope life has been good to you since those bygone days, my Signal Corps brother.
+lousifei You got that right! Yes! life has been great! Christ The King has come into my life and guided me to a life of Glorifying & Edifying His Name Forever! I now have a Beautiful wife & son and all are gracefully walking in His ways!! Sole Scriptura! Sole Del Gloria!
I lived in Pirmasens in '68 to '70. I was around 7 or 8. My Army dad married a German girl and I had two sisters in my family. We have fond memories of the place.
I feel the same way about Landstuhl. I was a child there from 1971-1976 and at least the hospital and post is still there. I’d love to visit it soon but have no idea how to go about it.
Don Sherburn, I was stationed with USAMMCE from June 87- Dec 89, worked transportation dept. A lot has changed and would like to visit again, good memories.

Sieht noch so aus wie frueher...nur mehr Gras, lach. Ich habe damals...1978...einen Amerikaner geheiratet der bei der MP in der Husterhoeh Kaserne in Pirmasens stationiert war. Schoen mal wieder Teile der Heimat zu sehen.

Larry McGrew, Hq. hq. Giessen Army Depot, cook!!! 1962-65. Anyone else from that time and place?
I was stationed there from Sept 81 till Feb 85. 76th Transportation Co. Very good times there. If the walls of that Bldg could talk, my God what stories they could tell.

Da hat sich viel verändert. Wenn wir in Pirmasens sind, dann sind wir manchmal da oben bei Peugeot, wenn irgend 'ne Kleinigkeit am Auto zu machen ist. Und Convar hat nicht nur die vom WTC, sondern auch meine Festplatte nach einem Ceash wiederhergestellt.

We knew the two softball fields paid for by America ($1,000,000) back in 1987.
