As of this year .. the former barracks known jointly as oxford barracks or Gievenback Kaserne is no longer a refugee camp, it is being revitalised and information can be found via Google searches to 'Oxford Projekt' it will be (when finished) an eco centre with wildlife green areas and also as a by product .. Archivist and Historians are documenting it's usage over the life from 1938 when it was a Flak Battalion regiment and named Herman Goering Kaserne ... hope this helps ..(I write this on Sat 8th October 2022) .
I'm pretty sure my Dad was here in the early 1950's. The KRRC was when we were in Winchester, then it changed to the 2nd Royal Greenjackets I think. I started school here, remember entering that main big door into a long corridor that ran past several doors into classrooms, and the was an assembly hall down to the left. Good grief, this video seems to be triggering memories that I had long forgotten as a 5 year old. We were in family quarters in a block of flats somewhere like Vonboldesvink Strasse - I think. When I started, Dad used to cycle into the camp from where we were through some swampy woods, I remember the huge dragon flies. We cycled past some very big nice looking buildings before turning right into the main entrance up a slight slope. One day, -by mistake - I walked out of the camp at lunchtime and home for dinner (I was supposed to walk home 'on my own' to friends of Mum and Dad who were accomodated within the camp.) caused quite a fuss, and I got told off, and had to apologies in front of the class at school. It was a nice sunny day, remember it like yesterday ... felt quite proud of myself for finding my way home alone - NOT the welcome I expected when I got there though! Fabulous memories of very happy days. If this IS the right place, then there was a playground down outside to the rear going left, and a bank that went down onto a field, and there were silver birch trees along the bank. I was fascinated by their colour. We had school buses that all lined up and had numbers on. Mine had a 54 on it.
1RS, Nuclear Escort Bn , left training , turned up at the gates carrying my full kit on a Saturday, Joined the Regiment, who were deployed on exercise, the next day. 1976. Great Days
I went Oxford Barrack School around 1975, my late father was with the Regimental Police 2nd Bn The Royal Anglian Regiment. Awesome time living in Munster went back there when I was based in Bergen Hohne, had a good look around the camp pity it’s been knocked down.
Both oxford and york has changed. Mostly been demolished or used for refugees, the new buildings will be in york housing and company buildings. Oxford is mostly living the old officers quarters across the road have been purchased by the ukm hospital
