Known as the “Home of Champions”, the U.S. Army Garrison Baumholder (USAG) is located in the wooded hills of the Western Palatinate in the German federal state of Rheinland-Pfalz, only 30 miles from the French and Luxemburg borders. H.D. Smith Barracks, commonly called Baumholder, sets aside the German city of Baumholder and is the BSB Headquarters as well as the home of the 1st Armored Division’s 2nd Brigade and Division Artillery.
The U.S. Army Garrison Baumholder comprises two small U.S. Kaserns outside of Baumholder - Strassburg Kasern in the nearby city of Idar-Oberstein and Neubruecke near the county city of Birkenfeld. Neubruecke, a former military hospital, housed a variety of U.S. Air Force elements in support of Allied Forces Central Europe (AFCENT) Headquarters, which were scaled down throughout 1994 under the U.S. Forces withdrawal plan. Strassburg Kasern is currently home of 1-94th Field Artillery Battalion, 1st Armored Division and also offers considerable amount of family housing.

Looking for more information from military/civilian personnel assigned to or associated with the U.S. Army in Germany from 1945 to 1989. If you have any stories or thoughts on the subject
Boerfink was cleared of surface buildings, all that remained was the bunker entrance. The area inside the fence was well kept. Sandkopf was still operational with a single German at the entrance.The bunker was to support one raised floor area with two rows of ten or so racks of Rode and Schwartz transmitters. One the opposite end of the room was our rack of equipment consisting of mix of AN/GRT-21, 22 transmitters. Next to our racks, was a console and two cabinets for the Collins 3KW HF transceivers, a 208U-3A. In the middle of the room was a ping-pong table and a Foosball table.

Der “Kalte Krieg” ist mittlerweile beendet. Wie nah uns ein Krieg gekommen wäre, darüber informierte ich mich bei einem Besuch des “Bunker Erwin” in Börfink, den der SPD-Ortsverein Birkenfeld organisiert hatte. Der Bunker war ein ehemals geheimer NATO-Bunker, von dem aus die Luftüberwachung Mitteleuropas im Kalten Krieg gesteuert wurde.

willkommen im Führungsbunker des Ministers für nationale verteidigung, similar design as birkenfeld
Nordöstlich von Berlin liegt abgelegen und gut versteckt im Wald zwischen Werneuchen, Strausberg und Bad Freienwalde, auf einem großen Areal eine heute verlassene Kasernenanlage. Vom nahe-gelegenen Ort Harnekop aus deutet nichts auf dieses Objekt hin. Nur Eingeweihte kannten den Weg. Niemand im Dorf ahnte, dass es sich bei dieser Anlage um eines der bestgehüteten Staats-geheimnisse der ehemaligen DDR handelte - den Führungsbunker des Ministers für Nationale Verteidigung.
Das dreietagige Bauwerk wurde zwischen 1971-76 für die Führung der NVA im Falle eines Atomkrieges gebaut. Ein insgesamt ein Kilometer langes, hermetisch abgeriegeltes Labyrinth aus Gängen und Schleusen führt zu rund 150 Räumen, darunter Kommandozentrale, Entgiftungsanlagen und Schlaf-säle. Dreissig Meter tief im Märkischen Sand, ausgestattet mit damals modernster Technik, hätten bis zu 450 Menschen fast einen Monat darin überleben können.
Die folgende Dokumentation von Matthias Büchting zeigt erstmals mit den Werkzeugen der Architektur-fotografie das Innere des Bunkers, um einen Eindruck von der Absurdität des Bauwerks zu vermitteln.

In focus groups, teens described their new environment. To them, email is increasingly seen as a tool for communicating with “adults” such as teachers, institutions like schools, and as a way to convey lengthy and detailed information to large groups. Meanwhile, IM is used for everyday conversations with multiple friends that range from casual to more serious and private exchanges.

From Page: "There is no question that words are beautiful and every language is unique. For some people the mastery of words come from a deep-rooted interest in word origins and translations. While other people amazedly create new ways the world uses the words that their culture has to use. Let’s take a look at how people are using the words we use today."
