Prior to the USAF turn-over of the Medical Center to the German Government it served for many years as the major treatment center for US Air Force Personnel in Germany. It also served as a major evacuation hospital for wounded military personal being evacuated from combat zones across Europe and the Mid East. During it's hospital days the long main building was immaculately maintained and beautiful to look at. The interior was likewise maintained and considered one of the most attractive of the US Military Hospitals in Germany.

  • Former 7100 Combat Support Wing Medical Center, USAF
  • this is the usaf medical center. i was stationed at the hospital from 87, 88,and until may 89.we partied alot at the nco club on linsey a.s.that club was called the cave because it was real dark inside.good times were had by my wife and i. we traveled to spain(costa brava), france, london, brussels,and made it down to munich for octoberfest. the beer flowed in me for a week.we hopped on a train and sped to zurich one weekend because we could.the good friends we made will never be forgotten. i cant forget that imbiss across the street from the hospital. they had great frits and the chicken on a spit. it tasted great after six swabn braus. sunday breakfast at the earheart hotel next door to the hospital.
  • I was a nurse at this hospital from 1986 - 1989. I can't believe it's not AF any more.
  • Went there a couple of times while in the AF in 1985. Easy to get lost in. Nice assignment I bet!
  • Stationed at Camp Lindsey 1952 - 55. 2nd Air Postal Squadron. Mail Clerk at the Hospital, for a while.
  • I was born there in 1955. My mother was flown in from kaufbeuren in labor. I had hemolytic anemia of the newborn. We both almost died.
  • I was stationed at the hospital from June 1961 until Nov 1963 and worked in ICU. What is not mentioned here is that during WW2 they [Germans] built tunnels from the hospital to the train station to move wounded German and Allied troops and in one upper wing there were bars on the windows where the prisoners were held. The morgue was also down there. JFK stayed in the Amilia Earhart Hotel in 1963. While I was there the Berlin wall was closed and the Cuban missile crisis happened. We went on alert for each. It was some of he best duty I had. We could travel almost anywhere in Europe by train for almost nothing [which was good because we made almost nothing].
  • I was stationed there from 1971-1973. An Xray Tech. Ray McConnell. Dr Carl Holl head of Radiology n
  • I was born there in 1969 :)
  • I was a patient there in 1969 having been med-evac'd in from Aviano on a C-47. I had surgery and spent 15 weeks there. Most in the large balcony room. Best care anywhere I've ever!
  • I was stationed there from 1959 to 1962. I was19 years old when I arrived there and worked all over the hospital in hospital administration. It was truly wonderful and I consider myself so lucky to have had the experience of being there at that particular time. My eyes were opened to so much and I got to travel all over Europe. The people I worked with were great. My life was changed so much for the better because of my time at the USAF Hospital in beautiful Wiesbaden. John T. Reed, San Francisco

  • Anyone know how I could get a birth certificate from here? My husband needs his and I have no idea how to go about getting it. He was born in 1957. His father was stationed there.
  • I was in 68 :)
  • try contacting the American Consulate and tell them of his birth in 1957..... Is there a passport for him, if so, that's a good reference for his birth for you have to have a birth certificate to get a passport.... even under his father.
  • I was born in this hospital, and my birth certificate was issued by the State Department
  • Autry, I was born in that hospital in April of 1962. My dad was in the Air Force stationed there. How far is the hospital from the Rhine River?

  • Where did they transfer military medical records to?
  • I was stationed at USAF Wiesbaden Hospital '66 to '69. I worked as a surgical tech. My son was born there. In 1983, while stationed at the USN Navy Hospital in Naples, we visited Wiesbaden so he could see where he was born. Of all the places I was stationed in my 23 years military career; Wiesbaden was the best assignment.
  • Hello Robert, I was stationed there 1964-68. Worked in Admin wing near front entrance. My hangouts were Jungs down the street and the Jazz Haus in town. Would be curious about whom you knew and where you frequented . Brad LaVine
