Nice site. I find myself visiting Downs Barracks in Fulda about once every two years. It was fairly static for about 10 years after U.S. forces left in 1994, but has recently changed a lot on the west end. Cheers, BW.
Oh, the forgotten memories of this place. I was a soldier with the 32nd Signal Battalion at McNair Kaserne during the height of the cold-war in the early '80s. Oh, if those walls could speak. . . I am happy to see that the Germans have restored this very beautiful building. I wonder if there is any truth to the legend of "secret tunnels" below McNair?
The stories about the tunnels are accurate, unfortunately the truth about the dining facility is both sad and tragic. A cook was murdered in the facility and her body dragged into one of the basement storage areas where the tunnels were blocked off but still visible. I wish I could remember her name, she was a PFC in HHC Company.
Was Stationed at McNair Nov.68 to March 70 32nd Signal Battalion. Great memories from there,left behind some good friends, can`t believe it`s been 40 years !!! Would love to chat if anyone remembers me. Don Whittington
I was stationed at McNair Kaserne from June 1965 to January 1967 - with the 32nd Sigal Btln. Most of us were drafted and we just wanted to do our duty and avoid Vietnam. Yes, Brian, there were tunnels below the Kaserne because some of us went down there and went as far into one tunnel as we dared! BC
I was stationed in Germany and at McNair Kaserne from January 1959 to March 1961 with Co. C. 299th Engineer Battalion (C). I visited Germany and McNair Kaserne in 2004I walked throughout the complex. Quite a change..it is now apartments. It was a great place to be stationed. I enjoyed my days in the army and my tour of duty in Germany. Bill Sobolewski, Camas, Washington

I was stationed at McNair from 1989 to 1991. (Pretty much the last of the last Army people in it) It was being restored at that time, boy did it need it. The building was full of rats and the showers were a mess. We all heard the storis of the tunnels under the building, we never did see them because they were closed off. I will not forget this place, but I wouldn't say the memory was all fond. I wonder if they killed all the rats? LOL
OMG. It appears the moderator doesn't like what I have to say. No, i didn't like my time at mcnair. yes, i hated it with a passion -- still can't get it out of my head. Worst year and a half of my life. Stationed from 1983-84. Christine Tabellion
I was at McNair Nov. '83 to Apr. '85., 32nd Sig with most of that time at outpost Taufstein/Fulda supporting the Tankers there at Downs.

Was there for an 18-month cuppa joe, Jan 74- July '75, before moving to Darmstadt. Liked the proximity to Frankfurt (and beyond); felt sorry for the first couple wave of WACs stationed there; a couple of suicides, several more attempts and rapes like no one's business.
I was stationed in the 32nd Signal Battalion at McNair Kaserne. I can't believe I found this site. I was stationed there from 1980-83. Loved it and had the best time.

Ah yes some brilliant times where had, others not so much..(aka don't drop acid on guard duty the night everyone decides to go crazy and heart broken German girls drive their car into walls). All in all very fond memories indeed of good people, good food (no I'm not referring to "Ulie's), entirely too much drinking but such are the hazards of youth.
Stationed at McNair Kaserne 90-92 was one of the last to leave they moved and left 4 of us there for like 3 months alone. We were able to open the door under mess and the tunnels were flooded which explains why it smelled they way it did. Anyone remember a kevin saddler ? been trying to get in touch for years

Was with the 69th Engr Co (Topo Corps) from '68 to '69...at Michaels Barracks ...the company was relocated from Gibbs Kaserne. shortly after I REFRAD the unit deactivated. Our dispensary, snack bar, everything was at McNair. Lots of craziness going on at the 32 Signal back in the day. Spent a lot of time at the Plantation Club next to the 97th General Hospital...they had lighted panels in the dance floor! Short trip by strassenbahn into Frankfurt. The Hoechst castle on the Main River was impressive! Great times! Robert Stock Sp5
I was at 17th sig, 90to 91. Was NCOIC of final clean out rooms after Gulf War. Troops were already gone to Kitzigen. Went to G6, Abrams Complex after that.
I was stationed at McNair from 86-92, started at B Co 32nd Sig then assigned to A Co 17th Sig. I do remember the the two bad incidents mention by Kyle in earlier comments. I was actually the NCO that volunteered for the detail clean up for the Basement murder ( sad and sorrow feeling we had) and remembered the Armor who took his life in Arms room. I was nearly a resident there ...been there so long. I also spent a tour in Mainz - 81-82 Black Lions 228 Infantry before I changed to Sig MOS. My best yrs indeed for that General area. Spent some time at Vilseck and Grafenwoehr and Hohenfels with CTC Training Center. I have tons of Germany memories and glad to contribute my part not forgotten. Some would know me as...

ReplyDeleteWas with the 69th Engr Co (Topo Corps) from '68 to '69...at Michaels Barracks ...the company was relocated from Gibbs Kaserne. shortly after I REFRAD the unit deactivated. Our dispensary, snack bar, everything was at McNair. Lots of craziness going on at the 32 Signal back in the day. Spent a lot of time at the Plantation Club next to the 97th General Hospital...they had lighted panels in the dance floor! Short trip by strassenbahn into Frankfurt. The Hoechst castle on the Main River was impressive! Great times!

I was at 17th sig, 90to 91. Was NCOIC of final clean out rooms after Gulf War. Troops were already gone to Kitzigen. Went to G6, Abrams Complex after that.
ReplyDeleteI was stationed at McNair from 86-92, started at B Co 32nd Sig then assigned to A Co 17th Sig. I do remember the the two bad incidents mention by Kyle in earlier comments. I was actually the NCO that volunteered for the detail clean up for the Basement murder ( sad and sorrow feeling we had) and remembered the Armor who took his life in Arms room. I was nearly a resident there ...been there so long. I also spent a tour in Mainz - 81-82 Black Lions 228 Infantry before I changed to Sig MOS. My best yrs indeed for that General area. Spent some time at Vilseck and Grafenwoehr and Hohenfels with CTC Training Center. I have tons of Germany memories and glad to contribute my part not forgotten. Some would know me as... Sal... for part of my last name. ...Tac Sat Operations
