- This is a video I made in 1990 to send back to my parents in the states to show them what it was like on Hahn Air Base. I set the video camera on my dash and drove from my off-base residence in Lotzbeuren to the base and drove throughout the main part of the base pointing out the different points of interest. Part 2 of the video starts as I'm approaching the post office on the right. Back in the day when our post office address was APO New York 09109. I hope anybody who was ever stationed at Hahn Air Base before it closed in 1993 will enjoy viewing this and for anyone since then who has only known this as Frankfurt-Hahn Airport.
I had a brief tour there in the summer of 1988. I was 20 and fell in love with another Airman. He’s gone now and all that is left are memories.
Loved the schnitzel stand right of the base. Couldn’t get enough of it. Best fries!!
I remember that place. Pomme fritz with mayonnaise and curry wurst. Came with a roll hard enough to kill a man
Walter's Futterkrippe. Imbiss. The best currywurst!
Came to HAHN as a single guy in 76' left it in late 79' married. So funny that the payday traffic was bad back then too, so we spent most of our tour in Sohren , the local places and up/down the Mosel. We both worked alternating shifts, sometimes waving at each other going out/in to work at the GCA. It was nice to see everything still rather busy in 1990, even if the fate of the base was doomed eventually.
Still remember USAFE painting the runway in camouflage (which never made a difference lol).
Thanks for the memory tour !
Was at Hahn AB from 1967 - 1968 and from 1971 - 1973. USAF HOSPITAL Hahn/ 50 Tactical Hospital. Thank u for the memories! So many changes. I lived in Dorm 116, 303, and 316. For a while lived at #21 Lautzenhausen.
I was stationed there as a dependent from 1977 to 1981, then as a military member from 1982 to 1984. Looking at this video I can envision myself driving down these main roads, since I did many times previously.
So very glad you did this video and posted it for those of us to remember our time there. At Hahn AB 1982 - 1986
We were there from 81-84
My dad was there 83 to 87
@KrissyNov 84- Nov 86, 50th Transportation Sq. Special Purpose Vehicle Maintenance Shop, A1C Molen.
I was stationed here from May of 1983 to 1987, with my husband and kids. We lived in Sohren. This video brings back a LOT of good memories!
I was stationed here at Hahn from 1988 to 1990 with my wife and our first son. I was with the 50th C.E.S. We still hold such wonderful memories about living there and the friends that we made and some that we still are in contact with through Facebook. We also lived off base. I don't recall the exact town, but it was out the base housing gate and a left to a small town. We lived on a dead end road in a house that had three apartments across the driveway from us. Thanks for posting this!!!
It is a long shot, but I do not know where else to start my research, so I am posting to whoever I can find.
I am looking for the previous owner of my E9 BMW 3.0cs. He was an American stationed in Germany at the Hahn Airbase in Hunsrück until it was closed in ca 1990s and he lived on in Germany until 2002-2003 before moving back to US. Name is Dany Fenall or something similar. He sold the car to Mario Golembusch from whom I got it. The car is a inka orange E9, converted to l-jetronic and painted dark blue at some point. Maybe someone here knows someone who knows someone or could share this in some FB groups? Or are there by any chance some records of people stationed there or anything I could research? Any hint greatly appreciated! Let me find him please.
Lived there a good chunk of the 1970s as an AF brat. Graduated from HS there in 1979 and have many, many memories of a great place. Very sad to see it in its current state as it was a very energetic, happening place for so many years. Thanks for the video.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you so much for this wonderful trip down memory lane!

I was living in the Sohren housing development as a child at this time. Loved riding my bike to base and back. Great memories! Thanks for sharing!
To think this video you recorded in 1990 would become a document of times long past. Such an amazing little tour. Thank you for preserving this.
Just to think of it. His kids are almost 40 years old now. Thanks for the upload. Was there from 84-89. AF brat. Graduated in 1988. My dad was a Master Sgt 50th Supply.

I just came and watched your drive thru Hahn again, It brings back a lot of good memories. It's been 35 years since I was there. It shocks me how much the base changed in the 3 years from when I left until you recorded this. The dorm beside the recreation center was the 2184th com squadron dorm when I was there, I was ground radar maintenance. You might know some of the people that I knew, my best friend while at Hahn was Dave Budworth, I think he was there pretty much till they closed it down. How I would like to go back to 1985 and do my time there again. It saddens me to think that it is all gone now.
My father was the base commander at Hahn when this video was made. Col. Kenneth R. Neher. It's very cool to see this. I find myself scanning the people to see if i can see myself. :)
I probably spoke with your dad they used to have to wake him up to get my blood Cuz if I got in trouble and wouldn’t give the hospital my blood
I remember your father. A good man!
I was a brat there from 1964-1967. One summer I had a temp summer job at the base chapel. I agree with the others from my time period that I sadly recognize very little except that this was an unusually nice day. I love seeing these uploads even if it doesn't like what I recollect.
As others have said, thanks for posting. I was also in the 2184th (ATC) from Dec '89 to Jul '91; I worked in the control tower. I lived on base in the dorm above the post office. My time at Hahn was some of the best of my life. Seeing your video helps me validate I wasn't dreaming those times and that they really existed and brings back some extraordinary memories. Thanks again!

I was stationed at Hahn from 82 to 85. Seeing my old dorms (301 & 401) really took me back! Thanks!

Thank you for posting this. I was there from 87-until the end of 90 in the cop shop, and would have been there when you shot this. Amazing memories. If we could only go back in time. Thanks again.

You almost got my dorm on your video if you had turned left at the rec. Center my dorm was next to the rec. Center. My job was on pad 60 with the transit area was. When you were there were was POL trucks at that was my job. Thank you for the tour wish they had remodeled the chow hall when I was there. 74-76 had so much fun again thanks.
so glad you got this footage :) Thank you for sharing
Thanks for the memories! You drove right by my old dorm....good times! Of course, when I was there, the commissary was where the "audio/photo shop" is in the this video and the was no Burger King. 50CRS/496AMU 1982-1984.
Great memories here also, I too was stationed there in 1982. Sad that it's gone, where did the time go?
Wow.. great video.. I was stationed there back in 89...
Hey, thanks for posting this, I was watching intently to see if you caught me walking around anywhere! Great memories!

Thanks for the video. I was stationed at Hahn from 78-80. Like some of the others have mentioned, I don't remember there being so much traffic when there. I had a car and don't recall having difficulty trying to park. Saw my barracks (I think). Lived in them for about 6 months then moved to a farm house in the German countryside. Great memories flooding back.
I worked transient alert for the two years I was there. They still had F-4's back then.
I love this video brings back many memories ! At 0:01 to the right are my barracks! C-Btry 5th Bn 44th Air Defense Artillery and I was stationed there from Nov 1988-Nov 1990 So I was there when this video was taped..Awesome job dude!!
Yes Sir! 89 - 91...motorpool.
What’s up brother kind of miss those old days
beverage store was offbase in 76-80 and there was no 'Toyland' and payday traffic is universal :) ... and it is good the chow hall was being renovated after all those years.... it was just opened when i was stationed, and at that time was really excellent .. but like everyone else, it is excellent to see the old place after all these years :)
Awesome video! I was stationed there from 85-88 and worked in the 50 CPTS. No one ever knew what that meant. It's Comptroller Squadron. We paid everybody....LOL. Thanks for the great trip down memory lane.
I was with the 50 CPTS from 82-84!
My dad was the base chaplain from 64-67. I was 16 & 17 at the time. The video was a nice walk down memory lane. It's remarkable how much has changed in so many years.
Thanks for posting this, it's a great time capsule! We were stationed there 71-81. Dad was with the 50th FMS, we lived in Sohren and Buschenburen.
My God I miss having a Kirner Pils with my bratwurst & pom frits. Remember the drinking age was 16? Had fun playing pool at The Atlantic Club in Lautzenhausen, and fusball at Heinz's place in Buschenburen. We rode our bikes everywhere, because most places were just 3 or 4 clicks down the road. Great times with very friendly locals, it was my second home.
Did you go to HS there? If so, when did you graduate?
Awesome video! I was stationed at Wüschheim Air Station 1986-'87, but billetted on Hahn. Passed by our dorm building at 1:48 in this video. I'm shocked at how much I remember where things were! Thanks for sharing your memories with us! Incredible!

Stationed at Hahn 74 - 76 , turned 21 yrs old my first year there. Still think about the place from time to time, some good some bad, The place was freezing cold and creepy during the winter months. Always will remember the thick fog in the evening the most. You could hardly see the building next to you. It was an experience I would not change.
Thanks for the tour!! It brought back memories of when I was stationed there in Germany from 1989-1992!! I was in the Army at the time; up north in Muenster.

Great to see video of good old Hahn AB! I was there 79 to 80. I don't remember so many cars. I lived in that barracks just as you turned right toward the rec center. I spent quite some time at that rec center when I first arrived and I guess I fell into a pattern after that and didn't go there much. I was 18 when I got there and frankly I didn't have my priorities as straight as they could be. I don't think I was very good at my job. Those two years were good for me but not for the USAF. I was more into playing music and was in three different bands. In fact I looked up Hahn because I always wondered if my friend Don Davis ever made the big time with his songwriting. The famous band America(A Horse With No Name) has a special place in my heart because they, too, were Air Force enlisted stationed in Europe in the 70's and wrote enough songs laying around to become rich and famous. So they always reminded me of Hahn, although at the time I wasn't aware of this.
thanks for the tour - I lam amazed how different the base looks since I've been there 1953-56 The base is much larger, the buildings look amazingly different I loved our time there, the people, the food, etc Miss it tremendously - again thanks for the tour. God Bless

Thanks so much for posting this i was there from 74-76 things have changed but it was still GREAT to see and remember,
So glad to have come across your videos. I had my daughter there in 1990. She will be interested to see this I think! Thanks for sharing.

I was stationed at the base hospital (88-91) and was really taken back in time. Thanks for the video. A lot has changed since then. Can't believe that two years after I left it was shut down. I lived off base for most of it, but ended up living in the dorms next to the hospital. Good times and great memories. Thanks!

Thank you for uploading these vids. I was there in '78-'79. 50th AGS/10th AMU in the F4 days. Sure was nice seeing the old place. Caught a glimpse of my old barracks, I know, they called them dorms back in my day too but some of us die hards still called them barracks. WOW a lot of memories. My only regret is not taking more pictures. Thanks again
We were also there in 1990. Loved it! There were a few things to complain about, from time to time, and some homesickness but, overall, a wonderful experience I would do again in a heartbeat!

I believe that at 4:25, I see the dorm that I lived in for just about a year, before moving off base; when the real fun began, living in my own apartment! Thanks for the trip down memory lane, this was still while I was in the Air Force, but stationed at Spangdahlem.
Thanks for the flick kind of nice to see the old airbase I was in Charlie battery 544 army air defense artillery
Thank you for posting this. I was in the 2184th from 85 to 87. Great memories.

@@Mark-yy2pyyeah, we had lots of parties when I was there.

Wow. Recognized my dorm...EMS...uphill from the chow hall. With the 2 hangers in the background. One of them was where I worked in AGE...from 87 to 89. I didn't drive a beemer. I drove a Lada. Memories

I fell old and kind of lost. I lived there 88-91. I was just a kid, but Hahn always felt like "home" to me. Thanks for posting this. We live off base in Bishofsdrohn, so we don't have many base pictures. *sighs*
Thanks for posting this. I was there from 89-91, worked in Veh. Maint. This brings back a ton of memories.

Thanks for sharing! I was at Hahn from 1988 to 1990. On base for a few months, then lived in Sohren and later in Loeffelscheid. Your video sure takes me back!

81-83 with the 50th TFW Intel and 10th TFS Intel. Lived in Volkenroth. I was a good airman and received an incentive flight in the F-16B with the 313th. Great memories!
man o man.... I never in a million years would have imagined there would be a video of where I spent 2 years of my life in the USAFE back in 90-92. . . I was the USAFE A1C that cost the commanding base colonel his 1st star, for reasons I will not share.... LMAO! Needless to say, I was a NOT so good boy the 2yrs I was there. Airmen and Grunts don't work well together... lol #semperparatus everyone still hanging in there.
Army Air Defense 72-74
Thanks for this.
great stuff, was there during the time this video was shot though I'd only been off base for a few months and we closed Wueschheim right around this time and left about six weeks later - thanks for posting!

Any hint greatly appreciated! Let me find him please.
Sgt Richard E Darling 50th SPS , Law Enforcement K9 1971 -1973.. Thank you for the tour The base changed drastically from my time. Looks like a good place made better.
Kind a miss the place. Was there in 78 and 79. 50th AGS, 10th AMU (blue section), F4E's (makes me feel old). Saw my old place, building just left of the mail room, third floor second set of windows from the stairs. Not as populated as when I was there. Thanks man...
I was stationed at Hahn from 1990 through 1993 when we majorly downsized it and turned over to the Germans (Lufthense, if I remember correctly).
It is a long shot, but I do not know where else to start my research, so I am posting to whoever I can find.
I am looking for the previous owner of my E9 BMW 3.0cs. He was an American stationed in Germany at the Hahn Airbase in Hunsrück until it was closed in ca 1990s and he lived on in Germany until 2002-2003 before moving back to US. Name is Dany Fenall or something similar. He sold the car to Mario Golembusch from whom I got it. The car is a inka orange E9, converted to l-jetronic and painted dark blue at some point.

Anybody remember the "1st G" right outside the main gate? How about the Dolly bar? Good times! (83-85,90-91)
Wow! Yes I think I do remember the "1st G". And also that snitzel stand on the left leaving main gate. (50th AGS 81-84)
Good Ole slutzenhausen!
@@jeannepayne1223 That schnitzel stand was called "Walter's."
i lived here from 87 til jan. 89. my father was in supply. i am still in contact with my dads old boss. lived in lotzburen for 1 1/2 years before living on base.
Thanks for posting these...
thx a lot. interesting to see, how it was in the earlier years. greets from Germany
Thank you so very much for posting this video. We were stationed there from 1981-1985. My husband worked at Victor Alert and the Blue Squardron. I worked at the hospital laboratory. We lived in Liesenich. I have been back a few times, my husband has not. Our children have seen the base but only an airport business park. Did anyone belong to the ski club? The ski club was a lot of fun! We hope to return this Sept. or Dec.
Radio Maint, 2184th CS, Sept 1977-Jan1980; lived at 12 Herrenweise Str, Traben-Trarbach, spent a great deal of time at the Lowen Grube discotheque, loved the burgers at the PicNic Snak Bar in T-T.
Just found this video. I was on Hahn for the first few months after i arrived then transferred over to Wueschiem. I was a GLCM comm guy. Never did see the Burger King built. My wife worked in the mobile Burger King RV for a time. We have nothing but great memories of our time there. I lived in Heinzenbach the last year I was there and I traveled extensively around the western region of Germany scouting comm sites in the advent we needed to deploy. Anyone remember Dollies bar?
Hi there,
you should see the former base now. A lot of it is gone or used for other things. The most of the housing buildings aren´t safe anymore. They just left everything go.
Know we have a big Cargo Area and are the third biggest cargo airport in Germany.
I am a german with an american dad. I always loved going on the base. I can also say that for a lot of germans over here near us. We all miss the americans. It was always fun for a lot of germans. We all have great memories of the people.
wow thats interesting. I only know it as Frankfurt Hahn Airport. Nice to see how it looked like 20 years ago !! Most of the buildings are empty or gone now !
Some great footage from the pre-SUV era.
There was a small quaint Italian restaurant in Lautzenhausen called San Remo, does anyone know if it is still there?
good place to eat, loved it
Loved San Remo's!!
We had a San Remo at Zweibrucken as well.
Great food!
Tony was the own I believe
What a change from the 50's. The only cars you would see is perhaps an officer or military vehicle. The only way into the basewas thru the little town Hahn. It was always off-limits to the military. I left the base in 1958 as an airman 2c and was making a huge monthly salary of $124.
i am not a military person but this is pretty cool...wow i found this searching for abandoned buildings.....and if you do a yotube search for hahn airbase -abandoned military area you can match up that video to this one, and see now and then pics and video.....pretty wild
I remember that bull with the missle in his horns. I also remember a bicycle mysteriously embedded half way through a tree near Buechenburen.
Hahn air base 25 years later. I have a Video on my channel
Johni
I do not remember Hahn being this big. lol. I thought it was much smaller.
8 seconds into it, you pass my dorm on the left! SP 88-90

79-82 50th EMS Phase Docks.. Wing was converting to F-16’s just as I was leaving. Would have enjoyed it more if it hadn’t been for the lousy weather. If you like rain...this is your place!
Hi, I was wondering if I knew you because I was in the EMS Phase Docks as well from '80-'82. I left in Feb '82. My AFSC was 42350, Aircraft Electrician.
@lostyank I closed Wüschheim in 1991. I still have the last copy of the base paper. I hope to post it in PDF format soon. My friend who was stationed at Wüschheim lived in Buch. Remember the farmhouse that had the bull painted with the cruise missile in his horns?
I also closed Wuschheim in 1991. I posted the last base paper at Wuschheim to the old Hahn Yahoo group many years back. A friend of mine, Ray Sykora worked at Wuschheim in the Comm Squadron and lived in Buch above a gasthaus that burned down in Buch in 1990.
Hahn 1979 thru 1981,looking for friend that was base interpreter, Iris Weyer

Saw your video on You tube about Hahn. Were you in the Comm Sq at that time. I was a wire dawg-telephone maint there from 89-93. My wife Miki worked a little bit at the rec center when they had Asian day wed/fri also. Maybe they worked together. Joe Gest
Hi Joe, I worked in Comm Sq. Maintenance Control from '89-'93. My wife Josie worked at the Asian day at the rec center as well.

I have a Facebook group for the 2184th comm squadron if interested.
What restaurant was on base before it closed? It's been redone into another one now but I'm curious as to what it started as.
It's weird to watch these videos as I'm wondering what I'm doing while you're filming that...am I launching a jet? am I hangin out in my dorm room reading? Thanks for posting.

Is it not against the rules to video the inside of a military base while it is being used? Thanks for sharing. I worked at the chapel. Left in May 1989
Its no schofield but it looks like an ok base
Amazing you had the Warsaw Pact just a few miles East of you and you could enter the base with a operating camera. Yet in today's post 9/11 USSA the DHS has powers the KGB could only dream of. ... What 20 years will do....
was there from 1985 to 1988. wasnt bad but i hit a deer in a GOV and it all went to hell. lol
