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.

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 Cafe where the medics and the MPs drank.

I remember the walk over the hill to the Kreuzberg monastary for the beer and homemade cheese & bread. And the little personenzug that went down to Gemunden where you caught the main line DB trains to go to Frankfurt and beyond.

After I returned to the land of the round doorknob, I went to college, then got a job with the Navy as a logistician, putting together computer systems on ships [retired in 1997] I also joined the Naval Reserve, retiring from the 4th Medical Bn, USMCR as a Senior Chief Hospital Corpsman (Fleet Marine Force) after we came back from Desert Storm.

Am now the Rector of St. Paul's Church in Lexington VA.

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!!

All we can say is WOW!!!!!! Wildflecken shall forever be in our memories and today we were able to show our kids pictures of where we met and married.
So many memories so many friends. Where has the time gone. Where are all the old friends. Where to start guess it might be best to just tell it.
He arrived Christmas Eve of Dec 75 and she arrived Dec of 76. Met in June 77. Was married downtown by the Burgermeister, under German law, after 2 months of getting permission from everyone the Pentagon, Seventh Army the German goverment plus our oldest daughter was born in Wurzberg. Almost 24 married years and 20 years in the military and Wildflecken is still our fondest memories together.
Wish we could remember everyone we knew but only a few come to mind Steve and Trixie Wright, Ann Grabowski, Pam and Robert Hughes, JoAnn Boyd, SSG James, Col Ball(The soldiers Soldier), the wild german national crew that ran the Range Warehouse (wish we could remember all their names), Everyone from the Rod and Gun club, the list goes on and on.
We hope to one day return with our oldest daughter and visit a land we love as much as we love America.

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.
The bad things about "The Rock" were; you were really stuck unless you had a car (or unless you wanted to pay beaucoup Marks for a taxi to get out away from the post), the VERY POOR QUALITY of NCO's in most of the units (These guys would make the hillbillies on "Deliverance" look like Einstein) and the fact that you had very few options. If you had a crummy boss, you were stuck unless he rotated out (yes, I said "he", because we didn't have any "she's" on the post back then unless they were dependents or comrads. The race relations were undoubtedly the worst. Guys that would normally be friends "in the world" hated each other on "The Rock". Wonder why that was?

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.

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.

This will be brief for now

The attacks on the wtc are the work of those who have learned to undo the ability of democracy at its heart in other areas around the world. We who live in the united states will show others how to look terror in the face and give that terror its very own sense of fear. A fear unlike any fear that it has known or shall ever know again. A fear so deep and so raw the people of those responsible shall feel this burning in their bones until the end of time. Yes WTA,we can give this ability to every soldier. This is only the voice of one. Look out world, we're going to tear someone's playhouse down.

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!!!

I had been a Missionary from the Church of Jesus Christ of latter Day Saints (the Mormons), serving in Fulda on post with the 11th ACR. We also worked at Wildflecken and had the most wonderful Christmas I had ever experianced.
Unfortunately I lost contact to some of my friends from this time and I hope that somebody knows them:
The Drivers (He was a cook)
The Ackermans (Mr. Ackerman was serving for the MP)
Gary West
The Dunhams
If somebody knows them, please mail to me. I would love to see them again !!!

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.

Trained there with the 299th Combat
Engr. Battalion during 1962/63.
Weather was always a challenge, if you didn't like it, wait a few hours
it would change. Leaving the comfort
of the barracks [hot showers] to
pup tents in the winter was rough.
O/c we managed to survive to
reminisce how great it was as older
men. Still, there were many fond
memories I'll always cherish.

Anyone remember when Fonzie was flown in at the Middle School? Wildflecken was a GREAT place to grow up.
I'd love to hear from anyone who remembers the Talent Shows and ballet practice!
What about the Rod and Gun Club's famous BBQ chicken? :)
My sister and I went back Summer '00 and met some wonderful people--
esp. the new librarian. There are some interesting new developments, lots of
new Russian families being resettled in Wildflecken. Call me if you lived on "A" street and remember the
barbed wire of the border in our "backyard". My mom was the reading specialist at the Middle School up on the hill.

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.

Liam, Paul, Cleve and Lars - we tried not to hang around, we were out that door, on the road gunning for the Buddha! Too many road trips for anyone's good - the Pub, Heidelberg (Paul, did we almost die one night with those Irish girls?), Meissner/Eschwege, Waldkappel & Ostheim [dancing un-American with Kims (Bassinger) One and Two]. Crumb & Sonja for the use of your crib, Scott, Angy ("what brilliant colors"), Kurt a/k/a Sweet Sister 'Rea. Sarah, the little sister who grew up. Nick & Brenda, sorry is all that I can say. Turkey, Tilkey and TacJam, 15 MPH on the 'bahn pissing off Petr. Other than waist-deep snow, diesel fumes, ear-shattering generators, putrid food, masochisticly cold razor blades and hours on the 'phones listening to Raygun's "Evil Empire", does anyone remember the exercises or were they just uneventful interruptions in our lives abroad?

Ho, Bce taku, would I go back? Yea, if these and many others not mentioned re-occurred.

Kate and I have been married since '89, with two cloned kids, one each.

Someone should start a similar site for DLI. It may have been only a year, but it was one to remember!

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.

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

Greetings all! I was originally stationed in Wildflecken with the 54th Engineer Battalion in 1986. Following my discharge, I took a civilian position 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.

I did manage to get back to Wildflecken several years ago for the supposed 'Reunion', but no such reunion occured. I had a great time visiting just the same.

Warm Wishes and Bright Blessings to one and all. Drop me a line sometime!

Comment

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.

Favorite hangout was the DYA and the library. I used to put in extra credit time at the library and during the summer -- to keep me out of trouble. And then there was the news stand run by another McGhee family. They were true "lifers" on the Rock. My folks were active at the Rod & Gun Club and like many had a CB Radio in the house and car.
For those of you there at the same time and listening in dad was the Virginia Grasshopper.

I would love to hear from anyone on the Rock at that time or even in Wurzburg at that time. Those were some very memorable times for me and my family.

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...

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.

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.

I was in the 144th Ord. Company. Had some of the best times that I can remember. There are not to many places I want to go back and visit, but Germany and Widlflecken are ones that I would love to see again. I just happened across this page looking for some old friends that were stationed with. Would be great to hear from some people.
Its funny how times change. I currently work as Process Automation Engineer. Hopefully, one day my job will send me to Germany, on a trip to Siemens. I will get to see WildFlecken at that time.

Take care...

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.

WTA was probably the best job I (Mike) had in almost thirty years of Civil Service. The friends we made there are still friends. Something about being bonded in the cold, isolation and the Kreutzberg beer that has made a lasting impression on all of us.

We would welcome notes and news from anybody else from our era.

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!

I have just discovered this web-site, and am very moved by the kindness of the people who run it. My parents were prisoners here
during the war, and have left behind two children buried here.We
have pictures, which I have sent on to Heinz, and hopefully others
will be forthcoming, to show what went on here before the U.S. took
over. I think this site would make a good museum.
