  • US Military Housing Area that was previously a German Military installation. During the period following World War II a Displaced Persons (DP) Camp was located here. Following the closure of the DP Camp the US Army constructed a large housing complex here which remains to this day. The studios of AFN Stuttgart- the English language radio station for the US Military in Stuttgart- is located here. There is also an Elementary School located here for dependent children of US personnel. A portion of the original site was returned to the German government and has been redeveloped into housing. The land returned has hosted what was then the largest PX and Commissary operated by the US in Europe and was configured like a shopping mall. That complex was torn down after the property was returned to the German government.
