I was stationed in Schwabach Germany in 1990-91. O'Brian Barracks were still around back then, when the East Berliner's migrated after the wall came down. We left Germany not Long after Desert Storm. We were told that the Barracks were to be set up as housing for those from East Berlin. Can someone help me find it on Google Earth. I am having a hard time because not much stuff there is marked on the Google Earth Commnuinty Information Links and it has been about 16 years since I was there. As many of us as there were there, I am surprised that not many people have looked it up and left their marks.

  1. Found it here http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=...


  2. It's gone, man.  The actual buildings may still stand, but it's been returned to the German government to do with as they wish.  I don't remember the "exact" location of it, but if you know the area you can find it.  Just find a main street intersection that you know and "drive" like you would to O'Brian Barracks.

    Just know that Google Earth is VERY out of date.  When I look at my house here in Germany, it still has an aluminum roof on the addition that my father-in-law built on our house.  That roof hasn't been aluminum for over 10 years, so the picture is OLD.  I can look at areas around Ft. Campbell Kentucky / Clarksville Tennessee and see my pickup parked in several places (so those pictures are from 97-98) and in Darmstadt I can see my pickup parked outside the power zone, so that is 2003-2004.  It's pretty much hit-or-miss on how old the pictures are.
