Hello, though I enjoyed the pictures, they are NOT of the U.S. Army Camo Eschborn. I was stationed there in 1986 to 1990. The pictures are from next to Camp Eschborn. The buildings shown were where people from other countries (mostly Turkey) were housed if they needed housing. The U.S. Army camp of Eschborn was next to this location. kenny@tipsweb.com Ken Tingle
I was at Eschborn Aug 81 to Aug 84 and them are not pics of the camp. The new motor pool was getting ready to be built,but was not started. I have been looking for some pics I have. When I find them I will post them
I was stationed at Camp Eschborn 75-77 and not one of those posted pictures look like anything I remember. Most of our bldgs. were old. I have some good phots to post.
I was statoined there from 74-78. the gym was inflatible. the chapel was a quansit hut and the movie theater also.Ihave pics to see of co a hq & motor pool WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THE EM CLUB.
The pictures show Hessische "Gemeinschafts- unterkunft" für Flüchtlinge in SCHWALBACH, as you can see here: http://www.proasyl.info/java/20Jahre/HGU/HGU1.htm They were next to the camp.
I was stationed at Camp Eschborn '67-69 and these were not the buildings on site then. The barracks were multi-storied (2-3), WWII vintage and the Company HQs were quansit as were tool rooms and others. Don't remember a gym. No fancy entrance guard shack German nationals were all around us herding sheep on the old air strip.
yeah this is not eschborn its the african refugee camp next door i was there in 82-83 i was trying to find otheres that were there then. brian weise bjweise@yahoo.com
I was there from 1978-1981& from 82-85 and the only pic I seen that I recalled was of the high rise in the background. I was in the delta dogs on both tours, and dammed proud of my time there and all who served as well............. go dogs

Could somebody - who served before 1986 - confirm if those buildings ever used to belong to Camp Eschborn ?

The EM Club on Eschborn was called The Castle Club!
