While living on base solves the problem of not speaking any German, it also limits what you will experience in Germany. Try to get off base more often, and you will find your world opens up a lot.
Wiesbaden is a beautiful town, has amazing shopping streets (Wilhelmstraße), wonderfully clean parks, great bus line connectivity.
The surrounding country side is gorgeous and dotted with tiny, quaint villages. Frankfurt a.M. is only roughly 40 km / 28 miles east of Wiesbaden if you crave big city vibes.
Throughout Germany you will find that crime rates are very very low, so safety is not an issue for walking your dog or even letting kids play on the streets.
Welcome to Germany from a German currently living in Hamburg, but whose grandparents and parents both lived and grew up in Wiesbaden. I've been to Wiesbaden so many times I lost count (but well over a thousand times at least).
⬆️ ⬆️⬆️ yes to everything here!! I love everything you’re sharing with the community. Thank you so much!
This makes me sad to watch cause I lived in aukamm for almost six years and i absolutely LOVED it. We moved a few months ago back to America but I know exactly how you feel our house was so small with five people living in it. And the kitchen was so small but I really loved it and miss it so much. Good luck in Germany! Auf Wiedersehen!
I really do love our apartment, too! Sometimes it feels like we still have so long here, but time is slipping by so quickly! I just want it to slow down!
Housing has changed since the late 80’s and early 90’s. Watching your videos takes me walk down memory lane.
This was easily the most helpful video I’ve found comparing the neighborhoods. Thank you so much!
moving to weisbaden sometime in september. incredibly nervous but incredibly excited!
Great post. Thanks for sharing!
This video is really helpful. I will be traveling with a pet too and I would like if you can make a video explaining like all the stuff we have to do before we can travel with our pets. Like how hard/challenging it is. Thanks again for your videos
Moving to Germany? No,I'm already here;)The algorithm brought up your video so I stayed for the show..Greetings from the snowy Taunus
Send the snow our way!! We love snow!
I will be moving back to Germany but not the same post. We spent 6 yrs at Vilseck and now we are headed to Wiesbaden. Thanks for sharing.
I love your home so beautiful and cozy !!!❤️
Very helpful!
Thank you!
What a major difference from the 80's. I lived in Hainerberg 86-88.
hope you guys are doing well. miss y'alls video. :)
Moving there soon, thank you for this video. How was moving your dog there? Worried about our two big dogs.
We are moving there in march and of course it depends on what's available but crestview homes look the best fit for us I hope we get that
Did you get Crestview?
Hi! Loved the video quick question would you happen to know if Air Force for sure stay off post?
I live in aukamm, and we have storage under sinks
There’s an elementary school in aukamm and an elementary, high school, and middle school on hainerburg.
Only kids that live in aukamm go to aukamm elementary, :)
This is a great example of how different all of the housing options are! Thank you so much for sharing :)
Crestview was the butt of jokes when I attended WHS in the 80s. Hard to believe not much has been done about it. I lived in Aukam. Truly lived my time there.
Wow that is so funny! I can't say I'm all that surprised 😂
Just moved to Crestview. Been watching you since I found out we were moving back to Germany to learn more about Wiesbaden. Thanks for sharing. Would love to connect with you sometime!
Welcome to the neighborhood!! We would absolutely love that!
What about getting a house with the yard in clay? Is it also difficult to get?
Hello! What do you use to make your videos? Thanks
Do I have to live in the army barracks if I’m e4 for over 3 years in the Air Force? Single airman
Hi!! me and my husband currently stay on hainerberg we just moved here, I would love to reach out to you with a couple of questions. 🤗 your video is very helpful/ informative.
Welcome Gina! Thank you so much 😊
Send me an email at 20anna.head12@gmail.com and I will do my best to answer them!
I was born you I was born in Wiesbaden Germany so on the military base of course came back to the States Maybe a year or two later we my dad got stationed back
What about USACE? Do they and family have to live on base as well? My son’s father ( ex-husband) just got a job there and wants us to go with him, but we would have to have a 3 bedroom ( for obvious reasons lol, we’re friends though and co-parent). He is actually getting a promotion so I was just wondering if we would have to live on base or is off base a possibility at all? Thanks
So it’s just me and my wife I’m a SFC but when I move next year in may I will more then likely be a MSG we have a big dog and two cats trying to find a 3 bedroom or more we have a lot of furniture 1700 sqft house right now where would you recommend we try to get into
So it’s possible to get 3 bedrooms without kids?
Are Crestview and Aukamm like normal german neighbourhoods? - e.g. does german garbage collection drive through those housing areas and collect garbage and do german people walk or drive around as part of their commute path? - or is it more like living on base with no Germans around, even though there is technically no ID required?
Is this E5 housing ?
Why are you in a 3-bedroom if there are just two of you?
This housing in tiers stuff is such crap. That’s all I hear is you gotta be an officer or something to get decent stuff. HORRIBLE.
