The Curling Club building is now long gone.

Along the main street

The picture below is from the newspaper in 1993. Gate guard checking cars.
I can no longer remember what the buildings were in many of the pictures . Some of you will. The picture directly below is of the former Brigade HQ on the right and on the left, the building which had AJAG and the Command Surgeon.
This is the street leading to the back gate of the Kaserne
And who could forget the gas coupons?
My next blog post will have pictures of the Black Forest Officers' Mess Closure events and a few other events during the summers of 1993 and 1994.
Love seeing pictures of Lahr. I was only a small child when my father was posted to Germany, but I still have many memories. I have vivid memories of driving through the base gate. My sister was born in 1981 and we returned to Canada in 1982 when I was 7. I am sad to think that the base is gone. Glad to have been able to live in Lahr and have memories to last a lifetime.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the pictures.
Hi there,
ReplyDeleteThanks for trip down memory lane. Although I can recognize little of it specifically, at the same time, it all looks familiar.Picture no. 6 ,above your comment about not recognizing buildings, the one with the wood shelter with the sloped roof, used to be a summer canteen in the early 90's. The buildings directly behind it in the same picture -- on the left, barely visible, is the building that used to have the library and video store. The building on the right in the same picture was Lahr Senior School (or Lahr School in '93-94).
I also think picture 13, the building with triangular sloped roof, was the arena.
