Wildflecken was our first tour in the US Army. We had many great experiences and met many life long friends there. Hello to our friends Elsa and Diethardt Romeis...lots of good times on Silberhofweg! We hope to visit someday soon and relive some great times (if that's possible). I think our first stop might be Kloster Kreuzberg...to pray, of course!

Thank you for developing this website. Looking at the photos brought back many fond memories. Wildflecken was my first assignment in the US Army. I served as a Platoon Leader in B Co, 54th Engineer Battalion for a little over a year, and then was the Asst S3 for almost two years. My wife Teresa and I lived in downtown Wildflecken for 18 months, and then moved on post for the last 18 months. Everyone has different memories of their time at Wildflecken. The Cold War was still alive and well in the late 70s/early 80s, and there was a sense that our mission was vitally important. I remember monthly (at least) alerts when the unit would roll out to Local Dispersal Areas in less than 2 hours (ready to go to war). I remember Terrain Walks, Battle Books, training deployments to Bad Hersfeld, the Stoppelsburg, the Tann Pocket, REFORGERs, etc. I remember seeing it snow in July, and blanket the ground solid white…and an hour later, it was all gone. I ember fog so thick you couldn’t see from one building to the next. I remember tire chains and cobblestone streets, gas ration coupons, and 3-4 feet of snow our second winter at Wildflecken. I remember Bille at the Stars and Stripes Bookstore. But my fondest memory is of the sense of community...you knew everyone at Wildflecken. We worked and trained together, played and laughed together. It was like famiy....and nothing came close to it the rest of my military career.

What a rush. Saw a few names, Norm, Bob, Joe, but few else. Where's T-Nag? Stutchie? I remember showing up in gorgeous late August to a base full of zombies, staying up late every night to call branch and beg to be sent to Saudi. The whoel Gulf War was like somebody else's bad dream for me...I pulled guard duty on empty winter roads and in the passenger seat of MP cars outside off-post housing.

I also rode my bike all over that place. Me and Jim Wheeler from the Delta company and some crazy Kentucky fella named Buck...used to go mountain biking in the summer of 91 up to the top of the Kreuzberg and drink beer before it shut up at 8 pm.....then try and wobble the downhill home.

I got TDY'd out of there to Munich and Wobeck, as the Army tried to save my Russian skills for themselves, but always looked forward to coming back to the CHicken. Drunken blind nights in the Green Goose, pissing on my own shoes (usually) watching the steam come up from the urinals. Eating snails in the chinese restaurant with my roommate Jimmy Lee, the only Chinese German translator in the army.

I was in a couple of plays with Guy Wetzel down at the post theater, and had this crazy off-post civilian girlfriend whose mom and dad were teachers at the elementary school. I remember very clearly the very steamy nights with her at her parents' house way down in the town at the nub end of the valley.

I'll write a book someday about that place, and make a big Hollywood movie about the Chicken...somebody ought to anyway, because it was such a trip....

Peace,man

I remember sharing a barracks with medics and scouts. Our barracks was notorious for article-15's. After two article-15's Cpt. Doyle made me assistant armorer. Also went with military intelligance (as a driver) for a long field problem. I remember our fighting positions, the Ammunition supply point, alerts, border duty, green goose and monestary. I have some cool pictures that I will work on getting to this site. There were many good times and bad times. I would like to hear from some old friends.

This was my second trip this year to WTA. I was able to get on tour post and I would like to say the post is being kept up very well. I could not say the same for Frankfurt. I brought a few of my friends to the Kloster Kreuzburg and had some great beer at the Cafe. We stayed at the Guest Haus Krone in Bad Bruckenau. I certainly miss WTA and all of the great friends I made there.
Happy Holidays and God Speed to all.

Despite Summer only adding up to two weeks of bad skiing, I had more
fund in Wildflecken than I can remember. A common failing what with
the "Zwei Tannen", "Jerry's Keller Bar" and the "Kruesburg" being
the usual haunts. I left Wildflecken as a Sgt., bound for jump
school in Ft. Benning and eventual assignment to 2nd Bat. 505th Inf,
82nd Airborne, and a free trip to the Carribean, (Grenada).

If any one out there remembers me, and cares, I'm now the Patrol Agent

Started my first tour in Germany with HHB 1/1 ADA in Butzbach. I was one of the "lucky" one's who helped move the Battalion Headquarters to Wildflecken one truckload at a time. Spent the remainder of that tour in the S1 office in the new HQ building. Left WTA in October 1978 (what I call my short tour) but returned to Germany in 1982. Spent six years (the long tour) in Mannheim. I'm now retired and (still) working for the Army Personnel Command in Alexandria, Virginia.

I haven't been to WTA in at least 15 years so I'd like to thank the webmaster for the great information posted to this site. Thanks and keep up the good work.

This is a GREAT web page! Thank goodness I finally found it. I was the Unit Armorer at CSC 2/15th Inf. The Supply Sergeant was SSgt Moody, the First Sergeant was Tibor Raso (who retired shortly after I was assigned there), the commander was Capt Harrington (I do believe also he PCS'd not long after) and then Capt Alan Smith became commander. I enjoyed my tour at the Rock, after I got settled there. I hope to make it back there some day. Even though it was not close to the big cities, I didn't mind at all. I enjoy the small town atmosphere more than the big cities anyway. Hope to hear from some of the friends I made over there, like David Weisgerber(sp), Don Schwartz, Dan Cole, Doug Mueller, Andy Anderson(Motor Pool section), Leslie Jones,Campos(Recon Plt), Kevin Waters(Como),Dwight LLoyd,(Supply section). Hope to be in touch with some of you. Bye for now.

My God. Ten years later, I can still remember Wildflecken with amazing clarity, the base, the field exercises, the town, the people, my first experience with real German beer, meeting Anette (who has turned out to be more special to me than I could have imagined), trips to Fulda and Frankfurt (and Lohr), dancing and meeting the most friendly Germans at the Grammophone in Gersfeld, everything. Easily the most memorable experience of my life, as evidenced by the above. I couldn't believe it when people came back after getting out for good, but I have to admit, I did the same in 1995. The place has a pull on us sentimental Americans.

Oh, yeah, sitting in that Godforsaken gate shack on the hawk site was a pretty memorable experience, too. I'll never forget the view from that shack - it's burned into my memory. I'm sure anyone who has spent as much time up there can recall that view just as easily. Or perhaps this: "Wake up, someone's coming!"

Has it been ten years since I've left Germany? Doesn't seem possible. It seems like just yesterday. I know I'm not the type who does well with keeping in touch, but if you see this, Bob B., Chris F., or Howie, drop me a line.

How did I ever leave there alive? :-) Guess I have to thank Simone for that! Somtimes I don't know how I got back up that hill. Still get back on occasion to drink a beer at the Kreuzberg. Und habe Ich auch ein bischen Deutsch gelernt, bin jetzt in El Paso, TX, aber Ich werde immer Wildflecken vermissen. Schoene Gruesse an alle und Gruess Gott.

I was a Ratt Rigger(31C), not a Conehead(as we called the Linguists).
I best remember trying to keep my Sanity and not go crazy and somehow doing just that. No Gut, No Glory. I remember the summer of '87, which was colder and wetter than the Winters I grew up with in San Diego. Being on the list for every Random piss test, they were never random for me or the other Rattriggers as I recall. My Team mates Mac who got tossed out after being busted to e1, and White who as I heard got busted to e1 and tossed out for selling cigs on the blackmarket. Of course there was me, who arrived at Wildfleckin ten pounds over weight and after six months on the fat program was 60 pounds over and getting chaptered out(at least I didn't get busted to e1). I remember Mac telling me everyday that "if you don't lose that weight, they'll send you home, I've seen it happen" and wondering if he meant that as a threat, because it sounded like a promise. All in all there were some good times, but my frame of mind did not let me see them as good at the time. My best memmory was Joy Ponce who as a friend helped keep me sane.

I was at 'flecken only once during my TOD (61-63) and don't remember much about it other than how long the trip took to get from West Berlin to West Germany because the East German Border guards would not let us pass through their final check point and delayed our trip by a couple hours. About al I can remember about Wildflecken was the comfortable barracks we had for our short 2 week stay. I believe that the only reason we went in the first place was to keep that 110 km stretch of autobaun open per our agreement with the 4 powers at the end of WWII.

I am assuming it was used in the Officers Club, but am not sure. I got the set from an antique shop here in Michigan about 7 years ago and was told it had some WWII history. Anything would help. It also has a "Logo" of an archer w/ a bow and arrow, and it was made by wellner silver co. Thanks for any help.

My wife and I were stationed at the WTA from January 1970 to April 1972. She worked at the Education Center as a teacher and then as director. I was assigned to Head & Head as a First Lieutenant. My first assignment was as the Assistant S-3. I was later assigned as the Atomic Demolition Munitions Platoon Leader and NATO site officer. Our first daughter was born in January 1971 at the hospital in Wurzburg and our second daughter was born in March 1972 at the dispensary on post. We loved our tour and often reminisce about the "Wildflecken Years". We saw this site and pulled out our slides. Remember the Waffen Kammer, the Kreutzberg, O'Gau, Fulda, the chicken farm at Steinau, the bratwurst truck on 8-40 going to and coming from Frankfurt, and a few of you might even know about the wax candle artist in the woods...he was hard to find. We could have used a Global Positioning Satellite. Also, remember the $.25 a gallon of gas, $.25 movies, and the $.25 slot machines in the 'O' Club. Back then, the exchange rate was 4 marks to 1 dollar.

Thanks for the site! Found someone I was stationed with 30 years ago.

I have nothing by fond memories of my time in Wildflecken. I met some great friends and was even engaged to a wonderful girl for a short period of time, who simply did not want to leave her mother and sister in Germany, so the engagement was broken off.

I remember the Forestmeister. We were running a night patrol exercise and we ran into him the next morning he said he had watched us from his fire/watch tower. I also remember the sound of those wild boars. One soldier who was pulling guard duty met one and ended up on the top of an APC. Pretty Country.

Our unit was part of operation swift strike. I was only in Wildflecken a short time before we convoyed into Berlin. We were training in preparation to move into Berlin. I remember when our unit arrived, they had to set up beer halls in our barracks because there were too many fights in the E.M. Club. Too many young troops on one post and unit pride. I can still remember the Monastery and the Beer the Monks brewed.

I was the Armorer for Delta 54th. I worked for 1SG Crawford and Captain Condon, before they shut us down and sent us home. I actually photographed the inactivation ceremony on behalf of the battalion. Lots of great memories!

I was station in Wildflecken for 2 tours of duty. I truly miss that place for it started my military career. If anyone knows the direct support maintenance shop that supported 54th Engineers, which was located in two places on Wildflecken. (1) across from 54th motorpool (2) across from the schinzetl stand. Here are just a few people I've worked with during those time periods. CW4 Jennings (ret), SSG Cunningham (ret), SFC Curtis Brown (ret), SFC Crawford, SSG Barkley, SSG McDaniel, SSG Pangelinan, SSG Evans, 1SG Oscar Perz Perz, SGT Altman, SSG Crump, SPC Vitko, SPC Dan Miller, SGT Davidson, SFC Macie, just to name a few. If any of you guy remember me place write. I'd love to here from you. Currently I'm back in Germany a third time, but I'm stationed in Vilseck. 54th Engineers are currently in Bamberg, Germany. I have also made alot of friends in that unit as well.

Wildflecken was my only duty station. Living there was an amazing experience. I hated it my 1st year, liked it my second and loved it my third.

Me along with my good buddy Robert Doss loved living it up in good old Wildflecken. I was there from 1981? to 1987-when I graduated from Fulda. Like Rob, I can personally say I've had some of the best beer in my life at the Kreuzberg. I can honestly say I miss the place, of course you never realize it until your looking in the rearview mirror. Anyway-here's my 2 sense for what it's worth.

Servus Freunde,
Lived in "WILDCHICKEN" on A Street and loved it. I moved there from Bad Kissingen, went to Wurzburg High school as freshman and did the rest of my high school days in Fulda. You can't beat being a dependent in Germany, it was a total blast. Nothing like a good hike up to the Kreuzburg on the weekend for some real beer. Or going to the Holiday Gasthaus and having a tall Weizen. Then there was always the Disco in Bad Bruckenau.
Hopefully some other dependents will visit this site. I am trying to track down some people if anyone has any knowledge of their location.
Susan Gay (Hand), Lisa Meisner, Andy Farr, Christina Hawk, Doug Brinning, and Steve Luce (Loose?) Steve was in the Engineering company and from California. 54th Engineers.
Steve, sorry I got in trouble with your car but that MPI guy was a prick. Can't spell WIMP without MP.

Comment

This is my second posting. I check the Guestbook about once a week to see if any familiar names crop up. So far..no luck.

I went to Wildflecken as an 11B10 grunt in June, 1972 after four months of basic and AIT at Fort Ord, California. There were a lot of laughs from the "permanent party" at Wurzburg when I found out that I would be further reassigned to Wildflecken instead of staying there.

After being reassigned to Company A, 2/15, the Post Adjutant, Captain Kirikos assigned me to HHC, 2/15 so that I could work in the Personnel Office under SFC Robert Suter (because he had all the grunts he needed). I couldn't even type !

After about 1 1/2 years our group was reorganized into a Post Personnel Office under command of a Regional Personnel Center out of Schweinfurt and moved into newly renovated barracks down by Post Headquarters. We then handled all personnel affairs for the entire post. This included in-processing, "cutting orders", emergency leaves, records maintenance, training and we were the ones that scheduled your departure trip back to the "world".

So, if you came into Wildflecken, regardless of unit, anytime from about late 1973 to the end of 1974, you likely were "in-processed" by me.

What I remember most about Wildflecken, unfortunately during that time, were the racial tensions. There were pure lines of color that developed prior to and during that time. There were race "riots" and Wildflecken was once put under "Martial Law" in the summer of 1972. Everyone was confined to barracks while MP's were sent in from somewhere and CID people called in.

In the mess hall, shouts of "Black Power" would shake the walls. No Senior enlisted or officers could (would?) do anything about it. Fights broke out all the time. Many whites were jumped in the bars downtown or walking back from the movies. Funny, one of the guys that I was closest to, and ran around with the most over there was Black, but our unit was a close knit group and things like race and religion, etc. didn't really matter that much. Fortunately, as I was about to ETS, I noticed a slight change in race relations across the post. Things were getting a little better. I think it is strange that I don't see any other entries in the Guestbook about this strange time on the Rock.

Other things I remember were that drugs were available as beer. It didn't matter what you wanted you could get it. Grass was the most expensive at $15 for a matchbox full, although a gram of hash was about the same (I think). Coke and meth were a dime a hit. The smell of burning hash was so think in the barracks, you could get high just walking down the halls. No one writes about this. Wonder why?

I appreciate this site. It brings back so many memories. Driving to Bad Neustadt in the blinding snow, when my wipers gave out and McCain hanging out the window to keep the windshield clear. By the time he got back in the car his "Fro" was white.

Sneaking girls into the barracks. SGT Meyers dressing "Gabby" up in fatigues to sneak her out because they overslept and "Sarge", Cpt. Corcoran and Mr. Northcut had just came in and was wonderng why Myers hadn't fallen out for formation. What a sight !

At that age time goes as slowly as cold sorghum. Two and a half years seemed like a lifetime. Since then, I have had marrages last less time. Funny its only been 5 percent of my entire life. It's also funny that it predominates my memories.

OOPS!!! That's what I get for using "copy & paste" disregard my previous entry. This is the correct one. SORRY!!!

I never thought that I would ever say that I miss that place, but I do, very much!

I was stationed there in Wildflecken from '87-'90. I was in the 564th M.P. Co. which became the 536th M.P. Co. just before I left for Fitzsimons Army Medical Center in Aurora, Colorado in August of '90.
I speak fluent German, and even worked for the German Red Cross Rettungdienst- Bad Brueckenau in my off duty time as an E.M.T.

I still communicate with an Rettungs Assistant in Bad Brueckenau and he said the place has really changed since it closed. I'm told the closing had a pretty deepening affect on the local town. Such a shame!!! After the support the city and it's people gave us, we just up and left.

If you remember me please E-Mail me back.

Comment

Arrived in April of 63, while the batallion was in the field on maneuvers and was given a 3 day pass to Amsterdam.
Served as Fire Direction Computer for the 81 mm mortars and 106 recoiless rifles. Spent most of my hitch as platoon sergeant and leader of The "Co-Arty Raiders"
as our platoon was known. We were the "aggressors" for almost every unit that trained at Wildflecken. Those were the days when Wildflecken was referred to as the "Dodge City"
of Usareur (? sp). It was averaging a shooting or APC or Tank theft a week. People (usually draftees) wanted off the Hill so badly that jail time meant a trip home and a discharge.
Some of the people I remember...Charlie Brown, Gary Weber, Lt Butler,
Arturo Santos, Porky Gardner (Cal), SSgt Proctor, Tommy Hall, Gregory Van Wyck (NYC), Milton R Beck (Philly). Things I remember...The SNOW,
The coal stoves, KP, NATO guard duty, test firing the AK47's, Stoners, AR15's, Colonel's Orderly competition to get out of pulling guard duty,The Femina Bar, schnitzel sandwiches for breakfast after a night
0f drinking. And the two times we were deployed off the Hill in 3 years we were sent to Hohenfels and Grafenwehr
to work the tank qualification tests. I spent more time in the mud in those 3 years than I have in my entire life.
I went back to wildflecken in Oct of 96 but was not allowed on post, because it was property of the German military and was told in no uncertain terms to turn around and leave, so we went
to what used to beb dependent housing area and was able to take a few pictures of Wildflecken
through the clouds. God, I had a great time there. JD

I've been back to the post twice in the past few years. once in 1991 with my family and ate lunch in the old mess hall.

I spent time exploring the East German border where I did night surveillance with a radar squad. We watched the building of the Iorn curtain. It was done at night with crude tools and lanterns. By day light they were gone and retuned only under darkness. I was almost captured twice as the East Germans were very intereted in our equipment. once during a snowstorm that held us on the border after daylight, and another time on the observation post about 2 a.m. in the morning. We were on a finger of land that surrounded us on three sides and they came up behind us in the woods. Thak goodness the rear guard heard them and then it was confirmed by the tinkle bells in the wire sorrounding our rear position. We loaded equipment quickly and escaped as they rushed us. The men had to kick some out of the rear of out 3/4 ton truck.

My next trip was for the closing of the base. We sat in the base commanders box during the ceremony and I had the time of my life. I felt back on duty again. Pride swelled up inside. The party thrown by the town of Wildflecken in the motor pool was great. Music, food and of course, plenty of beer.

It was tough, serving in those cold war times and the suspense was tremendous. The joke around camp was Ruskie having reveilee one moring with and attack. (we were within range of fire.) We served as an aggressor force for most of the training exercises coming in from the states. This kept us in the field most of the time. Wet, cold, muddy and that made us an enemy to deal with. so very many old war stories and I get to tell them over a beer every so often.

As I look back, Now grey, aged, warm and dry, It was a great experience. I'm very proud to have served and especially in a great place like Wildflecken.

I would really like to find people that where stationed in wildflecken
during 1984. I am the ex-wife of sgt robert d fields. since he is my

I also worked at the camera department of the post exchange. I don't miss all the snow and cold weather or carrying my daughter on my back and walking up the rock. thank you to all the GI's that took pitty on me and gave me
a ride. I do miss the beautiful countryside and the food and my friends that i have lost touch with. Shantel Elwood I have been trying to find you. Please contact me if you read this note. I hope to take my children to Europe one day and yes we will visit Wildflecken.

Hi there...

I was a dependent in Wildflecken. I had a great time there and have a lot of wonderful memories. I was recently in contact with some of my old classmates that went to Schweinfurt Middle School with me....Doere Flannagan, and Robbie Doss. We were looking for the Brinings (Mary, Geri, Doug) as well as a German/American friend named Patrick Priest. His mother Angela still lives in OberWildflecken I believe. Please get in touch with me if you have any info on these folks.

Was there with Lt John Pipia also from the 30th Infantry to plan and conduct the live fire squad tests for the Battle Group. Then Colonel Bill DePuy sent us to do the mission with no one looking over our shoulders. Can you believe it given today's politically correct never make a mistake Army! We had a grand time and sent every squad through without a problem. Colonel DePuy visited us toward the end and shared a bottle of Chivas Regal with us in the BOQ. He went on to 4 stars. I remember we had to heat our rooms with a coal fired stove! Somewhere on the back mountain road was a gasthof/truck stop that served the best pea soup I have ever eaten. Those were the days my friends. God Bless

I read with great interest all the little stories in the Widflecken guest book pages. It makes me feel good reading so many nice stories about this beautiful part of Germany. I was born in nearby Bad Kissingen and also have a close connection to Wildflecken. I thought some of you might be interested in my story. I served from 1939 to 1944 in the German army, participating in many battles in France and later in Russia. 1942 I was captured by the Russian army deep in Russia and after a few days in POW.. camp I escaped. When the Normandy invasion started we were sent to France and engaged the seventh U.S. army in battle. In October 1944 I was captured by the U.S. army. In February 1946 the American army discharged us and turned us over to the French army. On July I5 I escaped from this prison camp. After 20 days marching mainly during the night, I arrived at my hometown. In 1948 the U.S. army were looking for former German army personnel, and organized a organization which the called " labor service unit" we had U.S. Army uniforms (Black } M. 1 rifle's and where stationed in U.S. barracks. My company was stationed in Bad Kissingen and later Schweinfurt. At this time the barracks in Wildflecken where occupied by Eastern European refugees. A. organization called
IRO (international Refugee Organization) was responsible for returning those refugees. Most of them did not want to go back which created a problem for the U.S. army who wanted to use Wildflecken as an army camp. They did not wanted to get themselves involved in the process of clearing this area, so they had to bride idea to send us to do the job. I was transferred with my company occupying one small building. Our order was to evacuate and clean out one building a week. We did this with good results , and made room for all you guys having the good time, described in this guest book's. By working all does years very close with American personnel and learning the American way, there was no question in my mind to emigrate at the earliest possible time to these great countrie. Which I did in July of 1953.

I think the Army saw that I was used to 100+ degree summers and sent me to Wildflecken. I've never been so cold before or since. Definitely one of the most beautiful places on earth, I've forgotten most of the bad parts and remember serving with some of the best people in the Intel community. If we'd only had more decent officers we could have actually accomplished something. Anyone remember Caravan Guard 88 when the colonel had us set up in that farmer's manure field?

Just realized my first entry was incorrect. I was a medic with headquarters and can only say times were great. Met many great people that I was stationed with (Mike, Tony, Chris, Scott, Ray, and many many more).
Not long after getting out I went back to bartend at the Rhoen View Officer's Club. The day after starting there my daughter was born. Gave up on making drinks and learned how to pour beer and listen to officer's woes.

I'd love to hear from any of the Medics from 1-68th or folks from the club.

Meissner, 11th ACR outposts, Reforger each year (we were good or we were available?), alerts (Who the hell has the motorpool keys?), guard duty at the TCAE, Hey were do you think that tunnel goes? The 6 milers at that height. New equipment onto jeeps! Cold War memories...
