For thousands of American soldiers and their families, Hindenburg Barracks was a familiar part of the Wuerzburg Military Community.

Originally built in 1934–1935 for the German Army, the post became a U.S. Army installation after World War II and later served as home to the 123rd Signal Battalion and the 3rd Military Police Company. After the U.S. Army left in 1993, the installation remained closed to the public for several years before being taken over by the Bavarian State Fire Service School.

Because access was restricted, only a small number of photographs could be taken, all several years after the post had closed. Even so, these images preserve some of the last visible reminders of a place remembered by generations of American soldiers and their families.

Notice: No photographs were taken at the time the barracks were abandoned, as I did not yet have the opportunity to document the site. The photographs presented here were taken years later and therefore show only the final remnants of the former installation.
