12B, Combat Engineer. 16th Engineers, 1st AD in Nuremberg Germany, 89-91. I was at Johnson Barracks in Furth (just out side of Nuremberg). I spent way to much time and money at the “Green Goose”, a bar in downtown Nuremberg. Good memories. Does anyone know if the Green Goose is still there?

Reese Kaserne, Augsburg (A/1-36FA), 1985-through '86. I spent some time at Pinder Barracks in Zirndorf, attached to 595th MP Co. Augsburg was a kick-ass place to be, especially after the Rock Fabrik opened.

Hey Markl, Ansbach Nov 88-nov 90. 17th Finance Support Unit on Barton Barracks (top 'o the hill) Been to the Green Goose and also went to PLDC in Nurnberg. Heck maybe I met you, I remember meeting some guy from Oregon at the Green Goose when I hoisted my beer in a toast underneath the Oregon flag hanging from the ceiling. Some guy came up to me and asked if I was toasting the Oregon flag and we got to talking. I was too drunk to remember where he was from. Those were good times, I'd love to get back to Germany for a trip to show my wife what it's like.

Things were pretty tame at the goose by 96. Maybe one problem per month.
That place off the back road from barton to katterbach was where people went to 'cause trouble' (ie. yell a little)
That club in Bad Windshiem was where everyone went to meet girls and dance, the one on the road to the new housing north of the old town...looked like a mini mart from the outside... near the water plant...can't remember the name at all.
|
|
|
That little place on the pond out the lower road to lower bleidorn was cool too.....can't remember it's name either.

I think the worst was doing CP during the summer in Class A's walking around Ansbach while everyone else was party'en. Walkin in the clubs seein your buddies drunk! How about the "Stab -n- Jab" behind the Bahnhof in Illesheim. Or for the older guys, eating pizza at Pino's in Illesheim.......ah the good old days. Anyone ever visit the Moulan Rouge in Ansbach? Only time I was there was on CP.
Happyshooter, I'm trying to picture the club in Bad Windsheim but can't. Was it by the Festplatz? In 85 we used to hand out at Charlies, he was an American that owned his own bar in Bad Windsheim. That's where I tasted my first Weizen.....mmmmmmmmmmm! My favorite club was North up B470 from Illesheim, the Gas Light in Neustadt/Aisch, how about that Bad Windsheim Burger Brau, hangover in a bottle!!!!!

94-97 A Co. 302nd MI BN. I started off in Frankfurt and did the last 2 1/2 years in Heidelberg once V Corps was moved.
I miss The Irish Pub and all the skanky Brittish chicks that were in it.
I can't tell you what I did, because then I'd have to bore you to death. No, wait, I can't tell you what I did because I'd bore you to death. No, thats not it. There was some clever saying that all us MI guys were supposed to say when someone asked about our jobs. What was that again?
Anyway, it's good to be back in the land of 1-800 calls, Taco Bell and 24 hour supermarkets.

Hanau (Fliegerhorst) and Frankfort (V Corps HQ), 1988-1992
Field Artillery
I went back in '94 with the Reserves, and Frankfort and Giessen were GHOST TOWNS. Never made it down to Sachsenhausen on my return trip, but without all the GIs (V Corps moved south and the Corps Arty moved to Wiesbaden), I'm sure it's DEAD down there. Too bad. Great party spot.

Besides the Weiss Bier the next best thing was perfecting marksmenship at the range. Duty SUCKED between the Soviet threat, damn dedicated terrorists, and the misguided KGB backed anti-nuke demonstrators.
