I used to live in Rheda-Wiedenbrück but my landlord had a business in Minden. I later married someone who was with the Royal Artillery in Gütersloh. I've been living in Canada for the last 10 years or so and the UK before that but I certainly enjoyed this trip down memory lane. 😊 Many thanks, vielen Dank!
I was stationed in Minden 81 and had relatives in Dankersen, used to jump the back fence in those days to go visit or it was miles extra via front gate, REME so our LAD club was at the far end at the old stables which made it easier, no problems in those days unlike now with ISIS and others realy enjoyed my time with the German people in the area.
Thanks Olli I use to live there in Minden from 1962 as my father was in the Cameronians Regt then, i had a great child hood there then. I use to be fascinated watching the Storks Building huge nests on roof tops then also:)
Thanks again Ollii for another blast from the past, great soundtrack. When Covid is over I will definitely be returning, have even checked out travel & accommodation. Keep the blogs coming.
Thank you for this blog.. I was raised in minden from 78 to 86 my farther was in the royal green jackets British army based at Elizabeth barracks. I remember the old town and minden cathedral...

Hi Gizzy’s Travels, I’m also RGJ brat. Also based in Minden in 84/85. Went to Lancaster Primary in barracks. Can also remember Potts Park and it’s still going. Did you also go to Möhnesee Dam water school sports trip? Then posted to Warminster.
Thanks for that Ollie, we used to live in Barenkampen and my husband worked in St Georges Barracks. We left thirty years ago and I didn't get to see much of the place because we didn't have a car. It was lovely to see it again, such a beautiful town.
Part of my life was in St George's barracks. Nothing will erode the memory. I would live it through it again and again till I die. You can't erase memory's.
Thank You for the great video , I was at Kingsley Barracks 78 to 81 .... I really should come and revisit Beautiful Minden.

My Dad was stationed at Kingsley Barracks, he was in the REME. We were in Minden from '80 to 83' I think. Christmas in Germany was the best!
This place will always be in my heart. May this place be safe forever . Amen🙏
We lived her for 7 years when my husband was with the British Army. Happy days indeed.

Are the barracks still being used for the military?
