For many U.S. Army veterans, Emery Barracks will always be remembered as one of Wuerzburg's Cold War air defense posts.

Originally built in the 1930s as the German Nord Kaserne, the installation became Emery Barracks after World War II and served as home to the 69th Air Defense Artillery Group, operating HAWK and later Patriot missile units on nearby Pfaffenberg. Thousands of soldiers passed through these gates before the post finally closed in 1992. Today, little remains to remind visitors of its military past.

These photographs preserve the barracks during its final years, the period after the U.S. Army left, and the changes that followed—keeping alive the memories of a place once known to generations of American soldiers and their families.

Notice: Once the Federal Agency for Real Estate (BImA) assumed control of the barracks, part of the installation was converted into housing for asylum seekers, and photography in that section was prohibited. In April 2009, I was able to photograph an interior area after the fencing had been removed, although the majority of the installation remained fenced and secured.
