| US Army Medical Department Activity, Wuerzburg Originally, the Garrison Hospital Wuerzburg (Standortlazarett) was located on the Schottenanger, the site of an approximately 600-year-old former Scottish Monastery. With the buildup of the Germany Army (Wehrmacht) in 1935, it became necessary to build a larger, more modern hospital. An opportune site was the northeast side of the Galgenberg, which, at that time, was owned by the Mariannhill Institute. Once the property was in hand, architects and engineers from the German Army developed plans for the 300-bed hospital. The curved form of the building fit nicely into the layout of the grounds, with the main entrance on Mariannhill Street. Originally, a six-story building was planned, with 1200 rooms at an estimated cost of 5,500,000 Reichtmarks. The entire complex consisted of a main building with a service wing; a small, detached building for the motor pool and carpentry shop (previously the morgue); a fuel storage building and a generator house. A large beautiful park of nearly 53,000 square meters surrounded these buildings. The entire complex was fenced. There were living quarters for the hospital commander and two comptrollers, but these structures no longer belong to the hospital and are privately held. |
The barracks in Giebelstadt and Kitzingen closed the gates for ever many years ago. |

Barnabas, where will the medical care be provided for the US Army troops in Bavaria once the hospital closes? What will be the disposition of the hospital and its grounds?
Thanks for the history and its update! |
