    Hi. I was born in a Nuerenburg Army Hospital in 1992. I was wondering if this hospital was open at that time. My father was stationed in Germany for many years but after I was born he got out of the military and sadly we left only months after I arrived. Dr. Cody was my moms OB at the time. I was wondering does anyone know anything about the hospital at that time because I would love to know more about it.

    I worked at the Nuernberger Army Hospital in the 70′s. I loved it. I will look for old pictures. I was a secretary and remember having lots of fun. I was a civilian.

    I worked in the ER at the 98th General Hospital from 1985-1988. Lots of great memories to this day. Still the only hospital that I’ve ever worked in or been to that had it’s own nightclub. How cool is that! Anyone remember me from that time, drop me a line. Especially you, Belle.

    Was part of the family practice department summer 1987 -> summer 1989. Trying to find some friends long lost from snail mail over time & before the internet who last names that evade my memory 20+ years later: Pam, nurse in newborn nursery, any staff that worked in the FP department, OB delivery staff, Ron, a doctor with the OB department whose wife was an OB delivery nurse, Col “?” who was the commander of the hospital, and any others who I worked with and have better memories than mine.

      My husband was in the army, and in 1987, Dr. Cyrns delivered our beautiful daughter. She was stillborn, and I will never forget what a kind and caring doctor he was for us. There was also a nurse…Gena Noeth? I think was her name. They were wonderful at such a hard and sad time.

      Good day everybody. Finally found this site, yeah. I was stationed here from 10/86-89, I was a 92B – lab tech. The best years of my life. Dr. Melendez was chief of OB/GYN, and Dr Ridgley and his wife delivered my daughter in 1988. Pathology and Admin used to go party together all the time. anyone remember Martin Fuentes? In the spring of 1989 he became REALLY sick and was shipped off to Walter Reed. His girlfriend/wife Adina Williams disappered. I have found most of my buddies, except C. Scott Snyder. Sum Tasso’s, Nashville Station, Swimbad, Tiergarden (zoo), all the traveling. I got to go back 12/2009 to meet my inlaws. Great site. Thanks

    This may have been the hospital I was born at. My Dad was in the army stationed at Merrell Baracks (I think) in 1973. Amazing, I have never seen pictures of it before. Thank you for this!

    Woud like to make contact with anyone who was assigned to the 87th Medical Det. (dental clinic) which was on the same property as the army hospital. I was there in 1955-56 and several of us who were also there have meet seeral times in the past 4 years. There is a possibility that we might get together again here, in western PA, some time later next year. It was a good place to be and an assigment much better than a line outfit.

    Hi.I served with the US army as a medical corpsman with the 731st Med.Det.Annex Hohenfels,Germany, which was part of the 20th Sta. Hosp. and our main medical facility, from may 1960 to may1963.Transported and cared for many injured GI’s in training accidents, to that hospital. I also went through a special training in obstetrics at the delivery ward at 20th Sta. hospital.So it sure brings back many good memories when I see the pictures of the place.Today I’m retired and living in Brazil doing missionary work.

    My first unit home station in the US Army was at Nurnberg Army Hospital. I was stationed there in 1977-1979 as a 91Q Pharmacy Specialist. The hospital food was one of the best mess halls in my army career and felt bless to be stationed there. I was impressed on the architect and large athmosphere the hospital always appeared to provide. It seemed it was built solid and had 2 or 3 underground floors below the main floor. I always enjoyed going downtown Nurnberg and mix with the locals but wasn’t too fun of the food. Nurnberg had alot of historical sites and the towns around it.

      I was a 91F stationed there from January 1977 to April 1978. Our barracks were at Darby Kassern. I loved the history of that building and the ghosts that walked the halls. I vaguely remember that an NCO stationed at the MEDDAC was in the 70′s band “Heatwave” and I remember them playing at the NCO club once. Those were the good old days.

    After completion of the Meat & Dairy Hygiene School @ the Chicago, Illinois QM Depot (West Pershing Road); I was assigned to the 72nd Vet Food Inspection
    Detachment @ The 16th Field Hospital, Nürnberg, Germany. The Commanding Officer of the unit was Major William E, Riley (DVM). I arrived in January of 1955 and left in June of 1957.
    I was assigned to a number of duties during my stay, one of which was at the Hans Bär Fleischwarrenfabrik @ Üttenreuth bei Erlangen: where-from the Army purchased Canned Hams, various Wursts & Frankfurters.
    During my stay, I accumulated ~ 1,200 color slides and several hundred black & white photos. Some of these were of the Hospital grounds and, of course, the Nürnberg-Fürth area – is anyone interested?
    On Christmas Day (12/25/09), I was again in the area and to my amazement, I found that the entire facility had been obliterated. Instead of farmers crops, the former fields accross the road (now 4 instead of the former two lane country road) raise apartment buildings and a rather large Shell Gas Station. The former Hospital Grounds are now covered with apartments and a small strip mall where the exit gate used to be. Time marches on!

    It delights my soul being able to add some personal words to this web site. My name is Peter D. Laue, formerly Pfc Laue – US 56192300. I served in the US Army during the Korean War and was stationed at the US Army Hospital in Nürnberg, Germany from August 1953 to January 1955. I was a clerk typist and typed medical records for the hospital administrator.

    I am a naturalized American citizen, was born in Bensheim, Germany in 1933 and immigrated to the United States of America in 1946. I experienced all the horrors of World War II as a young boy, remaining in hiding during the war years because of my Jewish heritage. My tour of duty was hard and rewarding at the same time – hard, because my sensitive personality conflicted with the harsh and unaccustomed environment of army life, rewarding, because by the grace of God I was able to persevere against all odds and bring home an honorable discharge. There was also the added plus that I could speak German fluently which helped to reconnect me with relatives, old friends, and easily make new ones.

    At one point during my tour of duty I was hospitalized and nearly received a medical discharge. I chronicled my tour of duty via two-hundred plus letters that can be read on the web at: http://www.stretcherbearers.com. Please go to the site map and then click on “Letters from a Soldier” if you would like to read the letters. I would enjoy hearing back from anyone who can relate to my unique army days and may have their own story they would like to share with me.

      Hello Peter…..Just finished reading your comment about being at the 16th field Hosp…I was coming in the front door and you were going out the back door!! My MOS was similar to yours and I was assigned to the A and D office at first. Sgt Hobbs was my NCO at the time and Cpl Fabian was his lackey!! No offense, Fabian. Anyway, later I was promoted (sideways) to work in the Treasurers’ Office right next door…The next 1 1/2 years was like going on vacation..I played football for for the SACOM Commanders and after that I was the “manager” for the basketball team, traveling to different cities and playing their hometown teams!! We had some talent on our team and they went a long way..While in the A&D office, I worked with a German national by the name of Valentine Krause, who, I guess, was the eqivilent of our draft dodger during ww11, but nonetheless, a helluva typist and we managed to keep the doors open and admit patients There was also another German whose name I don’t recall, but he spent his time in the Wehrmacht in Italy, and managed to get captured and sent to Indiana, to a POW camp where he and his buddies would sneak out at night and spent some quality time with female farmers, whose husbands were keeping ‘em safe and sound for that day when “Johnnie Comes Marching Home “.Well, Peter, after my tour of duty was counting down I had to say my goodbyes to my buddies and especially a nurse by the name of Theresa Raven from the state of New York and I’m serious when I say that I hope life has been as good for her as it has for me….
      My best wishes to all the servicemen and women, past, present and future for giving of themselves to guard this great country of ours…Goodnight Mrs. Callabash, wherever you are !!!
      Webmaster: Thanks for the site and maybe you’ll let me in again?

      I was at the hospital from 77 to 81 (remained in Germany until 1982).

      Joe, you might have known Bruce, the lead guitar player in the band we had with Dr Tirone (Podiatry) and other local people.

      When I left in 1981 I was assistant wardmaster of 5-E (combo male surgical with a hepatitis overflow on the 6th floor.

      I was the first person at the hospital to get to go on the Berlin Orientation Tour. They let me take a guest, and he was an O.R. Tech.

      Can’t recall his name.
