Barracks in Wuerzburg

For more than sixty years, Würzburg was one of the major U.S. Army hubs in Franconia. Leighton Barracks on the Hubland served as the main garrison for key 1st Infantry Division units, while Emery Barracks by the river supported engineers, transport troops and countless rotations. Hindenburg and Faulenberg Kasernes added storage, training areas and support elements that kept the whole Würzburg military community mission-ready.

The Würzburg Army Hospital provided medical care for soldiers, families and civilians across the entire region, while the Class III Supply Point handled fuel and essential logistics that kept every convoy rolling. Down in the Steinbachtal, the PSP site supported ammunition storage and training operations - a quiet but crucial part of the local Army footprint.

Thousands of troops, families and civilian workers lived, served and built their lives here, shaping the city’s American era. After the USAREUR drawdown, the kasernes and support sites were closed and returned to Germany. Today, they stand as historic landmarks and reminders of Würzburg’s long U.S. Army legacy.
