   The Anderson Barracks where reclaimed by the german goverment in December 2009,
   since January 2010, heating and electricity has been cutted, the complete area is empty It looks a little bit frightening if you see the dark buildings during night time.
   The nature is slowly comming back all over the place.
   Currently the only inhabitan´s are rabbits, birds, foxes and some wild cats.
   As fare as I know the mayor of Nierstein has no plans what to do with the former Military base, even most of the buildings are still in good condition.
   I fear the anderson barracks are on the way to be a “lost place” because nobody will take the responsibility.

     Hey James,

     I remember you from Germany. If you haven’t got one, you should set up a facebook page. I found Bob Rupakus on there and he has a whole bunch of us old Dexheimer’s as his friends.

     See Ya Around,
     Mike

   We were stationed at Anderson Barracks in 1990, and we were then relocated to Mannhiem, Coleman Barracks. I have very found memories of Anderson Barracks, a military post right in the middle of grape fields. We were stationed there when our daughter was born.

   Would love to catch up with anyone that was stationed there.
