Places for US military veterans to stay

Hello,

We are looking for any information where we might be able to stay in the Nuremberg area. We were stationed in Ansbach in the mid 80s, and are coming back to relive the memories. We were wondering if there are still places on the kasernes, or close to one, where ex-military can stay at a discount price. We have stayed a few of these before in other places, but it was years ago. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Joe

It appears that kaserns in the area are being closed. I know that the hospital in Nuremberg , where I used to be stationed, is gone. Würzburg area facilities are also being phased out, or so I hear from a school teacher in the area.

You might check out this website for the overall picture but the news is not good.

Edelweisse Lodge in Garmisch is the only US facility that I can find in Germany. I know a woman that recently stayed at Ramstein Airbase but she was active duty at the time.

Good Luck,

Gary

katie25 , if you want to go down memory lane and visit Ansbach, the Best Western in Ansbach ( Hotel Am Drechselgarten) is a nice place to stay. Most military installations are now closed or taken over by the German Bundeswehr.
