A Salute to the Schweinfurt Military – Multimedia Archives

ByMaria April 1, 2014April 1, 2014

Team Schweinfurt presents The History of the Army in Schweinfurt in a slide show.

To keep its history alive, Team Schweinfurt set up this online photograph exhibition, “Salute to Schweinfurt: 1945-2014,” a tribute spanning almost 70 years of the U.S. Army in Schweinfurt. The project is meant to educate future generations and demonstrate the army’s service in Schweinfurt.

Deadline for submitting photos ends today (no April Fools’ joke either), but I’m sure they’d welcome more photo contributions.

Of the 36 blocks, six are supposed to remain and have a complete restoration done. The city of Schweinfurt plans on rebuilding…

One of my facebook friends, Tollakur Hansen, is an awesome photographer and regularly publishes his photos on facebook. Quoted from the Faroe Islands Tourist Guide 2011: Take a deep…

Oberursel Altstadt
ByMaria April 22, 2012

As dusk was setting, we were on our way to the guest house/restaurant Zum Schwanen. As always, we have to approach this Altstadt area on foot as there is no parking out front any of these buildings. View from the Marktplatz towards St. Ursula Kirche with the guest house Zum Hirsch (to the deer) on…

From HL Markt to Handok Market in Oberursel
ByMaria June 11, 2016

For many years, the HL Markt was the only one in our neighborhood. In 2001, we heard it would close soon, because a newer and bigger one would open in the new housing area ‘Camp King’. Some residents of the Rosengaertchen area signed a petition asking to keep the HL Markt open until the new…

Ledward Barracks in Schweinfurt
ByMaria August 5, 2012February 6, 2022

Friday evening we arrived in Schweinfurt for our weekend visit. We still had some time before meeting family, so we decided to swing by Ledward Barracks. The gate on the right was closed and the barracks looked somewhat deserted. The left gate had just opened to let this big bus in. By 2014, all troops…
