Marketplace

I lived in Hanau, FRG 88-91, loved spending time at the marketplatz and the swimbad on Lamboystrasse. I lived on pioneer kaserne and frequented the Rod and gun club in Grossauheim, but its gone nowadays.
Was glad to get back to USA but I find myself thinking back to all the fun I had in the Hanau area. Write me anytime with questions.

Sincerely,
Alan David

Memories
by: Rita

Hello Alan,

Thanks for sharing your memories. Like you, many Americans who were stationed in Hanau have fond memories.

The closing of the US military facilities in Hanau was sad for many Americans and citizens of Hanau as well, as you can read in this article about the official farewell in Hanau in 2008. After 63 years, it was indeed the end of an era.

Perhaps you have the chance to come back for a visit some day.

516th En. Co. (88-91)
by: John Hill

Hey Alan David,

I was with you during this time as well as the unit was relocated to Karlsrule in 1991. After we had moved I missed Hanau and all the surrounding areas I remember going to such as what you mentioned, the Rod and Gun Club, Frankfurt, The Palladium, The Boat, etc, etc! If you see this message you can find me on facebook. I hope everything has been going well for you all the years that have passed since then.
