I was born in Kitzingen and worked for the Americans in Harvey and Larson Barracks. Some might know me from the gym in Larson barracks, but I've also fixed many GI's cars at Harvey Barracks AAFES garage.
Well how the hell are you?? Wow, Kitzingen was a great place! I have plenty of pictures of Kitzingen when I lived in Larson Barracks. At that time (1982), they were going to close down Harvey Barracks. I guess it took about 7 years to do that. I hear many of the buildings are still there.
I was there from Nov.84 to May 86 I used to eat at that burger king at Harvey barracks, Damn, blast from the past. I have fond memories of my year and a half stay in Germany. I lived at Larson barracks and worked at Harvey. So I'm familiar with both Posts.
Wow...lot of old memories. Larson & Harvey Barracks C Co 703rd Support Bn 90 to 92. 52D Power Generator Mechanic. Showing this to my now adult daughter who wasn't even born until two years later in 1994. Ex-wife was Hindenburg Kaserne & Larson Barracks 123rd Signal Bn 90 to 92.
I was there Sept 97-99, 4/3 Air Defense Artillery. Lived over by the Helo pad. Looking at it today in 2021 on Google maps, the only thing that is still there is that damn golf course! Thanks for the Video, brother!
@@travismiles5885 oh Lord, Yes! Been out there a few times for aerial gunnery...even got to shoot down one of those ballistic aerial targets (BATS) you built! I even got pics of the area (whole buncha sheep everywhere) from back in the day when you had to turn in your film and get it developed and wait and see if you got a good picture or not. Remember those days? lol!
I spent 1 year there in 1967 and 1968. Was in the Battery B 3/76 artillery first barracks on right when entering the main gate. The german maintenance man for the building used to throw beer up to the first floor window in our room. Then was sent to Vietnam for reasons we won't discuss. Ended up in an infantry unit, oh hell!
I was at Harvey in 1981-1982, 16 months. I was an MP and the commissary was being built right across from the MP station. Never got to use it and there was NO Burger King back then.
Harvey barracks. 703rd support battalion '95-'97. Deployed to Bosnia for Operation Joint Endeavour, as 3rd ID. Came back just before ETS as 1st ID. 88M Cpts driver/HETT driver
I was at Larson Barracks as well in 1972. I was in HQ and Co. A 703rd Maint. Bn. 3rd Infantry Division. Our billets was down on the end by the golf course. Our AK or warehouse was across the road and also next to the golf course. Kind of looked to me like right where that new building you called the new EM club is now. What a flashback!
This is great! I commanded B Co, 17th Signal Battalion from 2001-2003 at Larson Barracks (across from the theater and shopette). We lived in Grosslangheim. But at 5.55 is most surreal since I am currently commanding the 43D Signal Battalion in Heidelberg. 252D Signal Company inactivated years ago. The 43D will inactivate this fall. Teamwork, Strength, Speed - Always Professional!
In 1992-1994 there was no golf course, that's where we had flag football games. 123rd Sig Bn. Then we'd go to the Back 40 for Sergeant's time every Thursday..... good memories.
Many of nights spend at Regina Bar and Cheap Charlie's pondering the meaning of life with massive amounts of Hadla Pils and Schneiders Heffe Weizen. Don't forget bubble gum black and mandrax to wash it down with.
Frankischer Hof was my haunt from 4/83-10/84, Hussein was the proprietor’s name. I would also go to that basement bar on one of the corners, I believe the pretty Asian woman who ran it was named Kyoko
Wow! I could only imagine how much different it looks from when I was there in 80' to 83'. I do see a Whole Lot Has Changed.😯 Was with Hq Pltn (Commo) Alpha Btry 3/67 A.D.A. Geiblestadt Barracks then Harvey Barracks and then Larson Barracks. They had built New Barracks for us.
Great Memories! I wish i would had go back before they closed the Barracks! Thanks for sharing, for some people this may look jus another video for us is part of our life, great job. Sp4 Gil Roman 66 HEM Co Harvey Barracks
D 1/69 Armor, Harvey Barracks, Kitzingen 87-91. My first 4 yrs in the Army. Went to PLDC at Larson. Graf, Hohenfels, Schwienfurt. Desert Storm 1, The wall came down. Trabants, East Germany, Berlin and the American Bowl. 49ers vs the Bears. I think I lived in Ropelsdorf? Where the Schnitzel Factory is. A time so long ago. Thank You for posting!
Ha! I lived in Schweinfurt and Wuerzburg during the years you name.. And the first pro football game I seen was 49ers Vs Bears in Berlin! Great times man! Though I was a dependant during all those years I enjoyed that country to the fullest
AND I remember the snitzel factory! Big slab of meat and rest of platter style plate covered in fries!!! I didn't like the Jager with the gravy and mushrooms, but the plain with some lemon squeezed on it and dinner salt and pepper... Man I still tell people about this little place to this very day!
Man, thanks again, I was in fifth and sixth grade going to all those places and remember everything you show. It was 89-90 the niners had just beaten the broncos in the Super Bowl
Repperndorf! Yes, right past Marshall heights. My wife worked at the bank at Leighton Barracks, Wurzburg. This video looks like it was taken after 1989 because I dont see any military on Harvey. I left in Sept 91. I heard they closed soon after.
I was stationed in Kitzengen in 1976 to 1979 and this is 10 years later? my god I still remember some of the areas. 24g20 ICWAR and ICC, IFF tech E5, B battery 6/52 32nd air artillery Best times of my life lol, still remember the street I lived on 29 ricthofen strassa kitzengen germany. I just got married at 18 and landed in a fog that made frankfort look like frankenstien movie. All clouds then it opens up I swore I was in hanzel and grettle movie. I was told I would never find housing off base, to many americans I guess lol. I walked over that bridge straight up and down past homes for 2 straight weeks. One day a nice old man Mr buhel who spoke no english must have seen me and got my attention. He kept pointing at me saying house you need house? hell yea I needed a place and he took me up to this beautiful apartment he had just redone, still needed heating oil for everything but that is how they roll over there at the time. I was forever grateful to that man who probably lived through ww2 yet reached out to me in uniform and made my 2.5 years there memorable. I hope to return one day but probably would not recognize it the way I left. thanks for the video
thanks,was in larson barracks from 87-89,D Co 10th engineers, had been to many of the places you showed,,memories,,,combat engineer,, i think i was there while you were filming this very video
AWESOME! I left there in 1988, but ended up back in Wuerzburg in 97-03. So, I got to pretty familiar with the place. Loved seeing how it looked back in the late 80s. Thank you very much for posting this!
I was there Jan 86- July 90 1/15 HHC. Worst place, to be stationed, in Germany. Most HIV, most AWOL, most suicides. Ten were hit by trains, in a two year span. (Running w/ Walkman) 1st Sgt of B Co stabbed his wife to death... Tankers were constantly rolling M1s in Graf, or elsewhere, and dying. In Aschafenberg (sp?), someone forgot to clear their tank and blew up a mess hall I had just inspected. For nearly two years, we only got two hours off a day, because we were always undermanned.
Really? I haven't been there since 1982 and I can tell you, you make the right to go to Harvey Barracks. I have pictures of that road going up to Larson Barracks. Wow, what a trip down memory lane. Thanks for this! It really makes me miss Germany, you know. I was there from Feb. 1981, where i was in Harvey Barracks, right across from the theatre and ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, which was ALWAYS BUSY, to July 1982! LOL! I remember seeing, IF YOU DON'T STOP IT, YOU'LL GO BLIND, for the first time and laughing my ass off! I made a deal with the manager. I said i would clean the theatre after watching the movie, and i did! It was worth it! I also met someone from LIVERPOOL ENGLAND in Harvey Barracks! Don't ask me how he got there, but I was listening to the Beatles (naturally) and he happened to hear it and came in. He said he lived about one mile from where the Beatles lived! Some really crazy times, I have to tell you! The funniest story I have to tell is when one of my roommates, from Kentucky, who was a heavy-duty alcoholic came in one night during the week, I think it was a Thursday night. We had bunk beds at the time, with four to a room. Now I was on the top bunk, and below me was a guy from California named Gring, whose nickname was Gringo. In the other bunk was the guy from Kentucky and someone else who I can't remember at this time. Well, there was a desk next to a window and on it was my stereo amplifier. So this guy walks in, and he was SO DRUNK (ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?), THAT HE TURNS TO GRINGO'S BED, UNZIPS HIS PANTS AND STARTS PISSING ON GRING'S FACE!!! GRING WAS ASLEEP AT THE TIME AND THE FUNNIEST PART IS WHEN HE, IN HIS SLEEP, REACHES FOR THE WINDOW, AS TO CLOSE IT, THINKING THE RAIN IS COMING IN! I NEARLY FELL OFF THE TOP BUNK!! WE ALL BROKE OUT IN UNCONTROLLED LAUGHTER, WHICH WOKE GRING UP (BESIDES THE PISS IN HIS FACE!), SCREAMING!! WELL, THE NEXT DAY, THAT GUY WOUND UP ACROSS THE WAY AT THE ALCOHOLIC'S ANONYMOUS! And this was just one of many stories of drunken debauchery! Like one time, a guy was so drunk, he stopped in front of someone's door and pissed in the doorway! Then he fell backwards, and, holding his can of beer, didn't even spill one drop of it on the floor before passing out! Ah, the good ol' days of drunkenness and getting out of PT when we drank a case of double bock beer! Not only that, but the hash also! After a couple of months there, we were sent to live in Larson Barracks, in a brand new building. Both are no longer there, unfortunately and it makes me a little sad to know that. Oh, and I was in HHB 3/67 company c.
@@dmobile2go I agree! So many alcoholics!! I lived right next door at Harvey Barracks! I got to see a great movie there! It was called IF YOU DON'T STOP, YOU'LL GO BLIND! It was like KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE. All I had to do was clean the theatre afterwards! It was well worth it!! I also met someone from ENGLAND in those barracks! Don't ask me how he got into the US Army! He lived in Liverpool, just one mile from where the BEATLES came from! In fact, I was playing one of my Beatles albums when he was passing by and then he poked his head in. There was even a band from England that played at one of the many, many beer fests they have there. You are very right though, it was some very good times, and I can honestly say that I miss Germany very much, especially around the holidays!!
@@dmobile2go Yes, Larson was just as old as Harvey Barracks. I moved from Harvey Barracks and living right next to the movie theater, to a brand new building on the top of the hill in Larson Barracks in 1982.
Tim Pruitt or PVT Pruitt- I was stationed at Harvey Barraks from 1985 to 1989 3/63 armor. This brings back some great memories and thanks for the videos. If you have some more please send them.
Hey Tim, I was with HHC 3/63 from April 1984 to October 1985. I was a 91B (medic) attached to D Co at first, then attached to the scout platoon later on. I loved Kitzingen and miss it a lot. What was your MOS???
I was there also C 1/69 armor Harvey Barracks Kitzingen from 87 - 91 . PLDC at Larson Graf,Hohenfels, I went to all Barracks .I work with the USAF . for 3 years as ALO ,Desert Storm 1. , As a liason For the US ARMY and USAF . East Germany , Belin . Miss the beer and the schitzel factory. I use to live in Possehiem at schulstrasse Kitzingen Germany . Thanks for the video SEEK-STRIKE-DESTROY !!
I got to Alpha 703rd M.S.B Company in 1995 which was the year that the town turned 1250 years old. There was a plaque outside Bravo company that said that was Audie Murphy's old company. Fun times!
I remember that building in Harvey Barracks with the tower! I use to go in there and sleep in the communications area, which was just a small metal box about 4 foot by 4 foot with all the equipment inside! I remember seeing helicopters coming in and there was a tank on the air field.
Hi, I was checking out your comment and thought to let you know I was stationed at B Co, 703d Maintenance Battalion, 3rd ID from 78-81. CPT Barry was the Commander when I left. My duty was the unit Training NCO. :-)
I too was in B co, 703 Maintenance Battalion, 3rd ID from 79 to 81. I worked in the shop for awhile and then moved to be a technical inspector. Yes, Capt. Barry was my Company Commander but SSgt Koehler and SFC Hempker were kind of like my mentors. They sent me back to the states for advanced training at Aberdeen. Those were great days. Married Jan Wolterman when we first got there and we are still happily married! We left for the states in June of 1981 where we ETS'd.
We were there when they tore down the factory / brewery and dropped the chimney to make way for the new McD. Almost the whole town turned out to see them drop the old chimney.
1980 Harvey barracks was a drug infested out of control Cookoos Nest. Was a high chance newbies becoming drunks and drug addicts. Lots of folks getting in trouble and getting jail time. Racial tension was at a boiling point. 2nd rate equipment , m60 a2 broken down heaps of junk. Local German Dishwashers at the mess hall were making more $ then enlisted men. Witnessed bloody fights between GIs and local Germans. Most NCOs were Vietnam vets. Apocalypse Now anyone.
I was in HHC 1-15 INF, at Harvey from Feb 89-Dec 91. I'm 99% sure that's me and Bill Downs walking in front of the camera at about 4 mins. in. I don't remember seeing anyone else there with that acid washed denim jacket beside me. I always thought I'd make it back someday.
Hi My name is Willie may I was stationed at Harvey Barracks in 1989 to the beginning of desert shield. 4/69 armor ,right next to 1/15 infantry. before it changed to 3/63armor
This is great! We were there from 78-81. Loved ❤️ this place! Probably best 3 years of my life!!

And this was just one of many stories of drunken debauchery! Like one time, a guy was so drunk, he stopped in front of someone's door and pissed in the doorway! Then he fell backwards, and, holding his can of beer, didn't even spill one drop of it on the floor before passing out! Ah, the good ol' days of drunkenness and getting out of PT when we drank a case of double bock beer! Not only that, but the hash also! After a couple of months there, we were sent to live in Larson Barracks, in a brand new building. Both are no longer there, unfortunately and it makes me a little sad to know that. Oh, and I was in HHB 3/67 company c.
GREAT TIMES!!!
@@dmobile2go I agree! So many alcoholics!! I lived right next door at Harvey Barracks! I got to see a great movie there! It was called IF YOU DON'T STOP, YOU'LL GO BLIND! It was like KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE. All I had to do was clean the theatre afterwards! It was well worth it!! I also met someone from ENGLAND in those barracks! Don't ask me how he got into the US Army! He lived in Liverpool, just one mile from where the BEATLES came from! In fact, I was playing one of my Beatles albums when he was passing by and then he poked his head in. There was even a band from England that played at one of the many, many beer fests they have there. You are very right though, it was some very good times, and I can honestly say that I miss Germany very much, especially around the holidays!!
@@mightymeatmonsta I was at Harvey also, although I did attend PLDC at Larson. In those Haunted Nazi Barracks.
@@dmobile2go Yes, Larson was just as old as Harvey Barracks. I moved from Harvey Barracks and living right next to the movie theater, to a brand new building on the top of the hill in Larson Barracks in 1982.

Hi, I was checking out your comment and thought to let you know I was stationed at B Co, 703d Maintenance Battalion, 3rd ID from 78-81. CPT Barry was the Commander when I left. My duty was the unit Training NCO. :-)
I too was in B co, 703 Maintenance Battalion, 3rd ID from 79 to 81. I worked in the shop for awhile and then moved to be a technical inspector. Yes, Capt. Barry was my Company Commander but SSgt Koehler and SFC Hempker were kind of like my mentors. They sent me back to the states for advanced training at Aberdeen. Those were great days. Married Jan Wolterman when we first got there and we are still happily married! We left for the states in June of 1981 where we ETS'd.
What became of the ball field & stands. I was their 18 months (67-68).
Played for the Kitzingen Kolts in baseball & football.

Harvey Barracks B Co 703rd support Bn from 89 to 91 3rd shop Abrams ,Bradleys and wheel vehicle mechanic .
We were there when they tore down the factory / brewery and dropped the chimney to make way for the new McD. Almost the whole town turned out to see them drop the old chimney.
We were in the same Battery, I left in Dec 86
1980 Harvey barracks was a drug infested out of control Cookoos Nest. Was a high chance newbies becoming drunks and drug addicts. Lots of folks getting in trouble and getting jail time. Racial tension was at a boiling point. 2nd rate equipment , m60 a2 broken down heaps of junk. Local German Dishwashers at the mess hall were making more $ then enlisted men. Witnessed bloody fights between GIs and local Germans. Most NCOs were Vietnam vets. Apocalypse Now anyone.
My experience was simmilar. The worst place to be stationed. 86-90
does anyone remember the "milch bar" the dive that sold chicken and pomfritz (spelling may be wrong)
it changed to 6/41 FA when i left in 92 larson barracks still had your unit picks on the wall
I was in HHC 1-15 INF, at Harvey from Feb 89-Dec 91. I'm 99% sure that's me and Bill Downs walking in front of the camera at about 4 mins. in. I don't remember seeing anyone else there with that acid washed denim jacket beside me. I always thought I'd make it back someday.
sorry to hear that i had a good time their 90-92
