army----71-73 i was in bamberg for close to three years. it was my finest time, the travel, and friends i made there will always be on my mind. 3/35 armor
HWB 2/2 ACR I too was stationed in Bamberg Germany with Howitzer Battery 2/2 ACR from 1985 to 1987. I remember SGT Manville who posted January 26th, 2009. Bamberg was an absolute beautiful area to be stationed at. I remember the Hills of Bamberg, the river in Bamberg, the many bridges, the stone cobbled streets and walkways, just a life and ambience of the city of itself that no one in America can even imagine. Best times had in Bamberg was when Sgt Chin (Chinchitlertt) bought his BMW and we'd go explore every corner of Bamberg. To Manville, I was MSGT Reids Driver and then 1st Sgt Yarboroughs driver when he came along. If you remember me too, Nice to say HI!
Alpha Co 1/54 Inf (Mech) 83-84 Yes, the best time of my life(so far) was spending 18 months in Bamberg. Remebering running to the dome after a night at The Zwiebel. Eating the wursts from the wagons and of course Graf, Hoens, and Wildchicken training areas. Got to travel Spain, France, Italy, Greece, GB, and all of this beautiful country. Will visit next year and can't wait to have an EKU Hefeweizen......Tchuss exactly "ALPHA GATORS ABOVE THE REST"
been there I was in Bamburg in1982 to 1985. What a great place to live!! If I ever got the chance to go back I would!! My husband was stationed with the 82nd airborn and was supply sarg. for 3 years while we were there. You must visit Appendorlf[ right outside of Bamburg] if you get the chance. The people were nice and were willing to help a mother of two who was new to the country with the langure barrier and all the new ways !!! Love the place and would go back if given the chance!!!

Research! I am an eighth grader at a charter school in Philadelphia. I recently completed a 5 page research paper about Auscwitz. Before researching, I was never aware of the horror of Auschwitz. I just wanted to leave this comment to say to let everyone know that I am too educated about Auswitz!
It was so beautiful I was statined in Bamberg from 74-76 and I could not beleive how beautiful it really was. I was with 1/52 Inf 1st armoured division and we used to jump on a train to go to Nurmberg for a Mc Donalds hamburger. Ill never forget my time there. And the beautiful woman.
I love living in Bamberg. I have lived in Bamberg of over 10 years, and have grown to consider Bamberg my hometown. I have learned to speak German at a reasonablly proficient level. Anyway, I have just started the "Bamberg-Tours" tour company and would love to share my personal experience with those curious enough to travel to Bamberg and enjoy a walk through a thousand years of history and world class culture.

barracks? My son is about to go to Bamberg with the 173rd. I have seen some pictures online and found this site - can anyone tell me about the accommodations for a PFC with the 173rd Airborne? Barracks, I assume, but the Army advertises 4-man apartment-style living now (March 2009) so perhaps????
I will never forget what happened. You are very brave and strong to have been able to come through that. We will NEVER forget waht the Nazis did, and we will NEVER forget the victims who died. May they rest in peace.

Stationed in Bamburg HHB 2/78 Stationed in Bamburg HHB 2/78 from Nov 1980 to Nov 1982. Still the most beautiful city I have been to since, and I have traveled alot. Great pictures. Keep them coming.

Peace.
Home sick I found these pictures when I was helping my 10 yr old daughter who was born in Wuerzburg work on her Christmas traditions project for school. I lived there 7 years (1995-2002) and would have liked to stay there forever. We were in Wuerzburg last Christmas (Dec 2007) and will be there again this summer. Thank you so much for posting these photos. They bring back such happy memories.
MISS BAMBERG! I spent over 10 years in bamberg, ge with the Army. I really enjoyed the sights and the people. Anyone email me if you me! My time was from dec 95 to may 05. My twin brother is still, lucky him! ssg polasky
Memmelsdorf Residents/Bamberg 68,69 I was stationed in Bamberg 1st 54th. 68-69. A US. Brought My Wife Pam over, Lived in a wonderful house in Memmelsdorf. Had a 1960 VW. Loved the town. Have not been back but want to return soon. Remember the Glider rides across the plaza from the barracks. Chez invasion, great Knockwurst, warm beer, old town,
1 Mark=25 cents, 4 day admin leaves to Garmisch, 4am walk from Memmelsdorf to KP. More warm beer, xmas village ceremony with tree parade, bike paths along roads, community gardens, not many local males my father's age, It was much better then the alternative for an alread married draftee.
bamberg is the best!!! myself and my two teens were stationed in bamberg starting in 1999.they did not want to leave their friends in tacoma.so i took them over there kicking and screaming.three years later when the tour was over, i took them back home kicking and screaming!!!!!!we loved it sooooo much! the food,the beer,the sights the fests. too much good stuff there! cant wait to go back,we miss it like crazy!!
Beautiful pictures I grew up in Schweinfurt but was lucky enough to live in Bamberg for a year, to this day it is still my favorite city. I have been living in S.D. and Minnesota for the past 17 years.
Your photo brought back some very fond memories. My last visit to Germany to visit my family in Schweinfurt was in 2000 and I made it a point to take the train to Bamberg for a day.
Our voyage through life has taken a rather pleasant and unexpected turn. After spending three years in Bavaria in the beautiful town of Ansbach and two more in Landstuhl, near the French and Luxembourg borders, Kate was accepted for a two year extension at the Landstuhl Military Hopsital. So, our journeys will continue for us here in Europe, at least for the next two years. I hope you will enjoy our adventures and stories of our trips. So, please join us. As I have shared with you before what St. Augustine said, “The world is a book, and those who do not travel, read only a page”. I hope... full info
