Hanau Christmas Market

Those four years in Hanau, in Germany, were the best years of my military career. Every weekend there were volksmarches, farmer's markets, castles to visit... so much culture and history to experience. The German citizens were friendly, and always willing to share the language, the food, the history...

Thank you, Hanau, for a wonderful tour!

Hanau 1981-1983

Loved my time in Hanau as a child. I will never forget the beautiful country and the great German friends I met. Unfortunately, I had all of my Volksmarch medals and walking stick with pins attached stolen upon my trip back to the states. I would love to be able to find replicas or replacements. Any suggestion please post.

I spent five wonderful years in Hanau stationed on Pioneer Kaserne with the 85th and 8th Maintenance Battalions. I lived in Ravolshausen and made many great friends who I still maintain contact with even today. I recently visited my friends in 2011 and renewed many old friendships. The people are always friendly and welcomed me back in their homes. I will try and return more often.
