I was so happy to come across this site today and wish to thank the webmaster for putting it together. I look back and nothing but the fond memories are what I can remember and seeing old friends that I have lost contact with that have logged on and I look forward to getting in touch with all of you. The friends, experiances and memories are to be cherished for my lifetime. Driving the bucket loader up the hill to the quarry by the hawk missles to work or just maintaning the roads out on the training area. Adventures to the Kreuzberg or skateboarding down that hill with Kelso when the time came. Going to have dinner at the Arms room for the best cordon blue that I had ever had. Partying with Jurgen at the Zwei Tannen and having the good fate of life to meet my wife of 23 years Helene. I hope that those of that I have lost contact with are able to get back in touch. Pat,Vic,Sgt.Z and Woody I look forward to getting in touch with all. |

Ihad the great misfortune to visit WILDFLACKEN, as my ole 1st soldier called it,many times to fire our 4.2 mortars. Two things I remember, first you could stand knee deep in a mud puddle and get dust in your eyes and the on going wars with the 50th Inf. at the EM club.What a ball!!! |

I
remember going to the rock. There were probably 300 + that went at one
time. We all took basic at Ft.Rucker Ala.and AIT and all of us went
to Wildflecken . I can remember 1SGT Kuhni, CO Lt. Cooper, Sgt Holts
and a Sgt Matts. When he retired I took his place as the Company Training
NCO. I can remember Danny LaGarce (company clerk) Tom Bishop (arms room)
Otto Hartman (Colonels Driver)and (man most likely to get demoted every
week) Chief (never could handle the fire water)Roger Rogers, Little
Moe,and I could keep going. Enjoyed my tour of duty, it was beautiful
country and gooooooood beer. |

My
first overseas duty station. It reminded me then (and still does) of
Greenbrier County, West Virginia. I was the lab tech for the 23rd Med
Det. we lived above the dispensary on the road up from the main gate.
Does anybody still remember the Femina (sp?) bar downtown, and the Stadt

Was an army brat there. It was a great place to gorw up. Made my Mom and several other Mom's go nuts and get fat. It was paradise for kids. Ran crazy in the forest with my friends.

Married Anita Rossbach from Bad Neustadt/S April 1978. Visited Wildflecken 1989 and 1995. Sure do miss the good times there and at the Kreuzberg and alll the other little towns around there. I was one of the new charter members in 1976 that attempted to restart Kontakt on post (remember the bicenntenial?). A lot of money was pumped into PR that year. That is how I met my future wife and a lot of other great German friends and to this day still have a great time communicating with them through letters, phone calls, and of course visiting with them when I get to Germany (like last April '01) |

Just surfed on over to this nice site and was suprised to see Nick Cassotis had posted a message. I am so glad that my first duty station was there in the Chicken up on the Rock. Miss the Zwei Tannen, the Sintal Club, Ostheim, and of course the Green Goose!!!! Never forget the gawdawful winters there. Lost touch with several people over the years...Paul Jones, Armstead Kennedy Fisher, Jose "Cey Carew" Morales, David Lugdon, Stephen Williams, Vernon Cooper, and all the others. Went back in 1996 when I was stationed in Wurzburg (67th Combat support Hospital) and boy was I suprised at how the place looked. Would love to hear from those who were there. Later!! |

Looking
for any of my friends that I served with on "The Rock" during
the period of 1972 through to the end of 1974. I routinely review this
site, and very rarely do I see any entries made by anyone who served
during that period. Maybe they are trying to forget the race riots,
the loneliness, the cold, etc. Although most of my memories of my time
at Wildflecken are good ones, the good memories are due to the friends
that I had, being in a wonderful country, disco's like "The Titanic"
and just being young. |

Hi to all the good people that got to experiance the ROCK. I know some think that this place was true hell, but to me it was way to cool. All ya had to do was get off that hill and have the time of your life. I ran the supply room along w/the arms room. Nice job at times,other times wasnt. Like during alerts. (we all remember those)Lived off post in Gersfeld, right next to the big church. Cant wait to go back for a visit. |

Incredible time at the rock! This was unfortunately the bitter end of my career due to my party attitude and going wild with the freedom of the area, but, life has been great since. I have incredible memories (somehow through the inebriated fog....lol) and hope all I served with are doing well. |

Trying to get any information on Andreas Kleinheinz who was killed in action 20 April 1944. His wife Sabine went to the US in 1966. They had 3 girls. Friedel Grace went to the US. Lenchen went to Straubing, Germany. The 3rd girl was Margarete. Any help anyone can provide on these possible distant relatives of mine would be greatly appreciated. There is another post earlier about another Andreas Kleinheinz who passed away in 1924 I was told. I think I am related to the 1924 Kleinheinz, and not this 1944 Kleinheinz but I don't know...Any help anyone can provide on ANY Kleinheinz in Wildflecken today would be great. I think we are close to establishing a link!!!!! |

My friend Walter Koempel sent me a black and white picture of this bildstock recently. I was wondering if anyone had a color picture of it? It has about 19 German words on it. I was able to translate parts of it, but some of it was lost in the translation. I was hoping someone over there was familiar with this bildstock, and can possibly give me anymore pictures/information on it. I appreciate any help anyone can/will be. Thank you in advance.

Hello everybody that was stationed at Wildflecken. I would have never found this website if I hadn't run into an old friend today that was stationed with me in Wildflecken. We had a few Buds and talked of old times up on "the hill". I would be more than happy to return any e-mail from anyone stationed there around the same time as I.

Memories
lost in time. It seems like just yesterday I left Fort Hood Texas for
the rock. My first tdy trip was in October 77 with 2/7th. My 2nd trip
was with C co. 5/7 in October 78. WE went up north near Bremerhaven
on the 2nd trip and became 3/41. I went back to Fort Hood to be with
the 1st Calvary.What a great time in my life.I was young and in a hurry
then. I didn't stop to take names and numbers. I wish I had. TONY CRUZ

Hi Guys and Gals!! I am Back in Germany! Left when WFL was closing down in 1993, went to work for the AF in Texas (Sheppard AFB) Kept applying for any and every job possible until they finally picked me up as a (you guessed it!) theatre director here in Germany in Nov. of 1999. Have run into a few of the old WFL gang here.. But some are gone forever.. and some have just dissapeared.. others, I suspect, are keeping a low profile...I missed the reunion because I was busy trying to get my butt back over here.. If anyone remembers me, GET IN TOUCH!! I have a kick ass house in the Odenwald and room for guests.. This is a dream place.. and totally private.. The view is to die for.. I am on the side of a small mountain.. I can see all the way down the valley to Frankfurt.. I am so glad I got to come back again before I retire. I am having loads of fun here now. (I have the love of my life with me!) but I have to say, it's hard to compare the old days in Wildflecken.. that was Camelot in many ways.. Lot's of special folks.. and I KNOW you are out there somewhere!! E-mail me now.. or I'll sic a garden gnome on ya!!! |

It was snowing when I arrived and snowing when I left. When I left I brought the Company Flag with me. 1St Sgt Gilberto Martinez said it could'nt be done. I still see Jack Hall often. I sure miss the German EM Club. I hate to see Wildflecken de-activated. The most memorable thing I did while there was wreck the first new style jeep to be wrecked in Germany in 1960. |

I have great memories of "The Rock". Does anyone remember the transfer to Darmstadt? Anyone heard from Joe Garnhart? That guy was my tour guide to Germany. I can't remember the name of the monestary where I could only drink 1 maybe 2 steins of beer made by the monks. I would love to hear from old friends and anyone that knows the name of that Monestary where the worlds strongest beer is made. I have plans to return in 2002. |

Odd
thoughts while wondering who drank mein eine pils. Good times, largely
unappreciated then. We came through Monterey or San Francisco, Goodfellow
and Devens, enjoying our atypical experience all along the way. Once
on the hill we sought our own versions of refuge from the mundane green
deluge, at least we had distractions in the Old World. |

Trying to research my grandmother's family the Kleinheinz from the Wildflecken area. Anna Maria Kleinheinz married a Josef Girz in the early 1800's. They had 7 kids. 1 went to Wiesbaden. Two lived in Oberbach. Anton Girz live in the no longer existing village of Rothenrain. Trying to establish contacts with ANY Girz still living in the area. My gg gf was Lorenz Heinrich Kleinheinz born in Bischofsheim. Other common male names are Johann, Johann Raphael, Johann Wolfgang, Bernhard, and Bernard. Any help ANYONE can provide would be great. I have a couple contacts in the Wildflecken area, and I HOPE we are VERY close to establishing connections with relatives. |

I think we made a difference and I don't want any of us to think we are forgotten. Give a rebel yell!!!!!! Anyone up for a little Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream or HANK and a beer, give me a call. Write first cause you might be Paul Pritt and God help me if I ever drank with Pritt. Anyway, let me here from you and let's get some folks up for a party. If Bill will drive and it will snow, I am up for the ride. Married with two teenagers now so we have to party quick. Miss my friends and love to all. |

Hey Buffalo Soldiers, we hated to see you go. All you cunning linguists out there, intercepters, jammers, humint, sigint, Nonint and otherwise dysfunctional spooks that the MP's are still looking for, Salutations!!! I wonder where everyone went to, except for Kearney. Rapelling out the windows on lockdown to sneak down for a little of the shhh and the bad. Life is better knowing that I won't have to drive a jeep down a ski trail and sit with the damned thing for 2 days while the Old Man sits at home. Cpt. Maskavitch, thank your wife again for the cookies. Reforgers, umpires, roll outs, roll ups, charlie foxes and The keller bar. Dancing on the tables after a fifth of Stroh rum. By the way guys, I married that girl and have been married to her for 16 years. Major Regan, I remember you and did consider it an honor to serve with you. First IG we ever passed. And by the way, that fine NCO that tried to steal my fart sack on forge. I still remember. Thanks to the fellows who held my hand and watched my back. O'Connell, bite me. Lost some really good friends, I miss them. The original LRSD's you know who you are. The ASP raids and the night crossings. If your tent was ever brought down in tent city, you are welcome. I bet they're still alive and kickin in Wildchicken. I can still hear SILVER WINGS |

Still would like to hear from Dennis McCollough or Don Saunders from HHC and from Barb or Jan from Special Services. I also remember long talks with the librarian about the history of the area but I don't remember her name,(Mrs.(Lt.) Vann was her assistant.) Also, there was a guy who worked at the Service Club, I think his name was Herbie, who went with groups on trips to places like the Wilhelmshöhe. |

all! I was originally stationed in Wildflecken with the 54th Engineer

as Regimental Illustrator at Headquarters, 11th ACR in Fulda. Visiting
this site brings back many wonderful memories of my friends at the Entertainment
Division in Wildflecken including Ellen Shepard, Harold and Mia Yoepp,
Lonnie, Simon, D'Ann, and the rest of 11th Hour Theater Company. |

Actually
it was my dad who was stationed on the Rock. We got there just before
Thanksgiving and lived in a beautiful apartment outside of Wildflecken
in Bishofsheim. Our landlords (and great friends) were Gerta and Gunter
Bauer (sp??) I did 8th Grade at the school in Wildflecken and then 9
-11th in Wurzburg where we were sent by bus everyday -- yes, it was
a heck of a long drive rain or snow. Sometimes we would get to school
to find it had been closed due to snow. Go figure that one out. |

Commanded by Col. Joffre Boston, Taskforce 28 (1st B.G., 28th Inf. [reinforced]), of the Big Red One, trained in and around Wildflecken the winter of 1963, during Operation Longthrust VI. After 3 months of Wildflecken snow & mud, TF 28 earned a "superior" ATT rating and moved into Berlin as an augmenting unit. Wildflecken gave soldiers of this Stateside unit an opportunity to interact with Bundeswehr soldiers and to participate in exercises with U.S. combat units of the 7th Army. Wildflecken was an excellent experience for a bunch of guys from Ft. Riley, Kansas! |

The Wildflecken experience was challenging and if it wasn't for the great people I met there it would have been miserable. The entertainment options were pretty limited and the amount of single girls in and around Wildflecken were low enough to constitute cruel and unusual punishment. Fortunately there was plenty to drink... |

WFL was a great place to live and work. I truely enjoyed my assignment there. I enjoyed the German friendships I developed espeically in the village I lived in, Schonau a.d. Brend. After moving on to K-Town in 92, I visited the area serveral times over the next 7 years. Every time I drove by the installation, it brought back fond memories. Besides who can forget the Kruezberg Beer! |

I visited this website first in about 1998 and learned about the reunion (475th birthday for Wildflecken). My wife, Barbara, and I attended the reunion in I think June or July 1999. We enjoyed it immensely and want to return for the next 5 year reunion. We hope there will be something on the website. Anxious to hear from any former Co D 3rd ARB, 50th Inf folks. I know there are two in the guestbook - Armand Du Bois and Paul T. Swartz. If you see this, drop me an e mail. I intend to do the same. My last contact prior to this to the guest book was 10 Nov 99 at 7:26 PM. Look it up..It is still there. |

It's great seeing pictures of the "Rock". Many memories. I met my wife in Gersfeld. Served in the Weapons Platoon and as Company Clerk. What I mostly enjoyed was the German people and their beautiful countryside. |

Ten years and I still think of this place and all of the people I have met there. I am still looking for Doris Henry, she was a social studies teacher from the middle school and Kerri Langlo (Jordan) I can't believe I lost you again... Keith Edwards is another one I have often wondered about. Only three years there but a life time of memories.. :) |

I was 14/15 and went to wildflecken elementary school for half my 8th grade year and I went to Fulda High School in for my 9th & 10th grade years. I ended up meeting the father of my son when we ran into each other in Tacoma, WA. He (Travis Andersen) told me -when he came over to my friends house- that I was best friends with his sisters Cherymie & Chandra in Fulda. I went out with his best friend Chuck in Fulda. We had roamed the halls together- all three of us for a while. I used to stay the night with his sister and he (come to find out later) had a crush on me the whole time. I tryed to set him up with my sister once also. Funny how life plays with you like that, huh? Just thought I'd share the story one more time; maybe the names may remind someone of who I am! I'd like to find my old friend Sharon Kennedy, she had a sister & also a brother Bubba- who passed away in a car accident there. If anyone knows the name please e-mail me. I live in Bullhead City, AZ. as of May, 2001. I've been living in Tacoma, WA for the past seven years before now & learned to play guitar there. I have an 8 yr old son as of June 9th. I'm single and still looking for prince charming. If ya think ya remember me- email me! I can't wait to here from someone! |

For most of my time at Wildflecken, I was company clerk for A Company 2nd/15th and lived in the little town of Romershag. The years 1968 to 1970 were a very busy time at Wildflecken, and even though I was a draftee and not happy that I had to be in the Army at all, I have to admit that there were some good and enjoyable things that happened during my time on The Hill... In June 2000, I returned to Germany for the first time and visited the base in Wildflecken. It's more like a ghost town now and the US Army isn't there any more, but it was nice to see it again and remember some of the good people that I met there. |

All, As some of you may know I have been researching my grandmother's family the Kleinheinz from Wildflecken. I was stationed in Germany from 1996-1999. I worked in Schweinfurt, and lived right down the autobahn in Bad Kissingen. Only problem is that I found out right AFTER I left Germany that my grandmother's family came from Wildflecken! I trained there several times when I wasn't in Bosnia, and wish I could get back! I found out a Bruno Kleinheinz was mayor of Wildflecken after the war. I wonder if this Bruno Kleinheinz is related to the Bruno Kleinheinz living in Wildflecken today? Trying to figure out if/how we might be related. Thanks for any help, Sean L. |

was probably the best job I (Mike) had in almost thirty years of Civil

Looking at the areal picture of "The Chicken" really tugged at the heartstrings more than I thought it would. I had some of the best and some of the worst times of my life so far there. Met some great and some not so great people, spent some time "on the gate" during some really freezing weather, but overall had a great time. It's too bad we're the only ones who will ever experience Wildflecken like we did. Here's to the memories! |

friends, even better scenary, and a feeling we may have been doing something
important during those tense years. Life expectancy on the missile site
was about eleven seconds if the balloon went up and many a night we
watched the fighters come out of East Germany to test us and see if
we were alert. We were...... |

It was good to scroll through the picutres of the rock. I remember the good times and the long hours of keeping the Hawk ready. Seeing the planes chase each other over the border. Freezing my butt off at B BTRY working on those radar. Also remember all the friends I made. I got there in the spring of 81 just in time for German-American week. That set the pace for the rest of my stay in Wildflecken. anybody out there that remembers drop me a line. |

I can't say they were all great times,
but at least definately times to remember. I don't miss the weather
there, but I do miss many of the friends that I met there. Places like
the Kreuzberg, "the hill", and the schnitzel stand were, and
still are, near and dear to my heart. |

At
Wildflecken for training, 1966. We road-marched all the way from Augsburg
and my vehicle broke down right as we arrived. Spent hours in sub-cold

Stationed
at the "Rock" from 89-92. I have been back 3 times as a tourist
to visit, including this last December. I was disapointed to see I could
no longer go on post to visit and remember. I really hated the post
at the time but I have come to love Wildflecken and the Rhon. Many a
beer I drank at the Kreuzberg. I was back this last December and the
beer is still fantastic. What is it about the area that we all love
and miss? I think that because it was a difficult and isolated duty
that it made you appreciate it a little more. |

My comments about wildflecken is that this installation create real men. I will never forget my good friends like SGT Richardson, CPL Carpenter and the unforgettable driver Tankersley(Tank). I had good times and bad times with these guys but I miss them a lot. Also I will never forget the guard duty at the BLSA and the alert call to move ours APCs to the LDA. It was a real hard task. Another thing unforgettable is the beer made by the monks at the monastery(kreuzberg) |

Served as bn S3 till June 84. then got "promoted" to 8th ID HQ, Bad Kreuznach. Didn't want to leave Wildfecken but went anyway. Missed the place as soon as I left. Remember a lot of field time, working like crazy - little time to ever get caught up, Reforgers, second hand vehicles that were never quite right, rail loading, alerts. Retired now (from Army anyway). Times there could be exhausting, but never bad. My wife & I loved Wildflecken and will make it back sooner or later. Names I remember...to name but a few....Long, Allen, Maskevitch, Morris, Kearney, Kuiper, Dean, LeNieve, Spivey, Solomon, Troy, McGuffy, Appling, Augeri, Manzi, Jenks, Hurd, Niekov, Connelly, Greene, Hollingsworth. Remember the RATT rig and commo and generator mechs in the snow. Trying to recover people and equipment after field exercises. I think this website is superb and my thanks to the guy that put it together. I'm glad so many took a part of the place with them in their hearts when they left. God Bless. |

Was in the U.S. Army in Schweinfurt from 1996-1999. Went to Wildflecken several times during that period when I wasn't in Bosnia or Macedonia! Found out AFTER I left Germany that my grandmother's family left Wildflecken for Wisconsin in 1872. Trying to get in touch with ANY of the 22 or more Kleinheinz left in Wildflecken today. Albin, Agnes, and Bruno Kleinheinz just to name a few. My great, great grandfather Lorenz Heinrich Kleinheinz brought the family to Wisconsin along with his father Johann. Trying to see if Andreas, Antonia, or Maria Barbara Kleinheinz may be my key to establishing a link to one or more of the Kleinheinz left in Wildflecken today. Sean |

So many great people and memories. This was with out a doubt, one of the best assignments in my entire military career. Lots of good times as a member of the Kontakt Club and dancing the nights away.I am retired now and looking forward to a return visit in 2001 to see how much has changed. Can I still get a snichtzel sandwich at the bottom of the hill? I am still in touch with many of the friends I made and would love to hear from more. Best to all in the New Year.Great Job on the guest book!!! |

I was an administrative specialist at headquarters working officers records, Co. A, records management and marriage clerk. Really enjoyed my work. Visited relatives in many villages of same name that were cousins. We had some really wild times and had many good friends. Fazio,Calio, Fedorick, Bugle, from McKees Rock, PA. if you read this give me a call at 8l2-482-757l. I was amazed to find the old hill on the web. It wasn't called the rock back then. The experience that set the course of my life was life on the hill with my good job(which others might have envied) and the opportunity to see the world in a broader perspective. I have many photos in my album, really fond memories. God Bless all who have ever served in this unique place on the earth. I can see in my mind all those who I knew by name or by face. So many years have passed, but the memories are still very sharp. Thank you so much for having this historical webpage. S. E. "Bud" Durcholz |

I
only visited the "Wild Chicken" once, in the dead of winter
in January 1981. The snow was about 3-4 feet deep. My CO's driver ran
his jeep off the road on the ice and wrecked it, so the CO "requisitioned"
my jeep. It was a different place for tankers, who were used to the
ranges at Graf. All we could do at Wildflecken was park on the crest
of one hill, and shoot across the deep valley in between at the targets
on the next hill across the way. But we got some good training in. Also
did lots of range time with M203s and sub-caliber LAWs (little rocket
with a puff of smoke marking charge as the warhead). |

I'll never forget the Hill, 31 months was a long time. I met a lot of good people there form all over the world and most of them could'nt wait to get back. I did'nt realize it at the time but I learned a lot there, mostly about people. Most of us showed up by ourselves, not really knowing what to expect. We were all alike, looking out for each other and trying hard not to get lost in a world set apart from what most of were used to. When I finally got back I was in culture shock I went the Univ of Mass with 26 thousand other students only I was at a great advantage, I had the GI bill and the experience of the Hill, something that made me appreciate and finally get thru college with a degree. At the time I was there we had a lot of good times, we stuck together wether it was the partying or the hard work we did on MTA, the bivouacs and training, the cold weather and short summers. But I would'nt have reccommended it to any recruit, but as I look back, the experience although trying taught me a lot. I am grateful to all those with me that helped me thru it. Thanks. I hope to hear from someone that remembers what it was like. I really appreciate a good friend of mine, Dennis Holcomb who told me about this site and helped me thru the experience of the hill. Take care God Bless and good luck. |

A great web site that brought back so many memories. Wildflecken will always be a place near and dear to me. I commanded Company B, 1-68 Armor from 1981 to 1983. The soldiers and community were outstanding. Additionally, our German friends may us feel so welcome. Those friendships continue to this very day. |

I
want to talk about some of the more disturbing memories from my time
in "Flecken". I was 17 yrs. old when I arrived. Race relations
were bad they talked of recent riots and fights downtown. You had the
white bars and the black bars. Everyone pretty much kept to their own.
There were a few rebels who refused to go along. Most of the "cruits"
said forget that crazy stuff , but there were others who got right in
the middle of the foolishness. I was one of them until I met Marlon
Lewis. He taught me to think for myself. Be pro-black but not anti-white. |

I
arrived by the trolley with 3 guys assigned to 54th EN Bn, early on
a November morning, in soggy snow. The battalion was in Hohenfels and
there was noone there to meet us. Noone seemed to care, and I remember
feeling real lost, without any language skills. It never seemed to get
better in the 2-15 IN. 2-15 was a pretty sorry unit then, but there
were some pretty good people in it. |
