Watching this today from Vogelweh housing in 2024. What a precious moment in time captured in video.

@stunnasleepy 5 месяцев назад

Agreed!

@westbeachfilms649 3 года назад

Holy shit. We found the very first Vlog! This guy was decades ahead of his time.

@Av8Here Год назад

What a time capsule and high valuable footage! I'm impressed as a local citizen, born a long time after the date of this footage, how things have changed from time to time. Thank you for this piece of history of my hometown!

@dudehere1100 10 лет назад

What a spectacular view of everyday life in 1984 Kaiserslautern! Its amazing how something so ordinary, like filming a trip to Micky D's, can become an amazing piece many many years later. I was there in 1991, shorty AFTER the wall came down.

@WarthDader74 9 лет назад

+Steven Chagnon The wall came down in 1989.

@czluver4338 6 лет назад

I was stationed in Kapaun from 1989 through 1991, there when the wall came down. K-town soccer team won that year. Was in CE at Einsiedlerhoff.

Thank you for sharing this video. I lived in downtown Kaiserslautern near the Mainzer Tor as a single Airman from January 1984 until I moved into base housing on Ramstein in 1988 after marrying a local German Girl. So, this video really brought back some great memories. Thanks again for sharing. Its just as I remember it.

@DrLauraRPalmer 2 года назад

Omg that’s when I lived there! My dad was named Stg Greg Fisher - We lived at 2722 vogelweh dr! Right there where the two guards sat around the block from that officers club... have no clue how I remember that from 1984!😋 I went to Kaiserslautern Elementary. And I use to love going to the McDonalds in town! They use to have green apple soda and green milkshakes. Fget what flavor but the states never carried those flavors. Man I remember the soft pretzels 🥨 and the brochen with jelly and butter. Miss this place soooo much🙉 wow omg I just heard u say Vogelweh!!! Omg That was my street! This was soooooo dam amazing to see! Speechless!!!!!!! NASTALGIA THANK YOUUUU😩😩🙏🙏😋💕✨

Hey all. Some utterly awesome and deeply sentimental commentary here. Was in D-Land 3 years (80-83) and this vid of K-town brought back a barrel of joyous memories, for me, too. Duty station (North Point) suuuuucked, but all else was good. Anyone else remembering you'd better study hard, to pass the German DL exam? LOL. Life without a POV license in the hinterlands, could get dull quick! Special thanks to the poster of this marvelous video. Peace to all.

@usbxg3474 6 лет назад

thank you so much for this video! the only one made during that decade at/about KTown I could find so far! I am a german citizen, but my german mom married an american officer when I was 18. In 1984 I was 21 years old, driving through sembach housing area, vogelweh, ramstein and Kaiserslautern with my american buddies in an old ford maverick grabber. this video brings back fond memories of an amazing time and decade of my life. Thanks a lot for uploading!

@brandonhenderson8672 8 лет назад

@goonercrew08 5 лет назад

I lived on Kapaun Air Station, then moved to Ramstein 87-89. Just visited Germany in 2018. Everything in Vogelweh is locked down, couldn’t drive through like the good ol days.

Amazing. I lived there in K-Town from 82-86. We didn’t live in the base housing though. I loved it, this is just the way I remembered it. Thank you for sharing. 😊

@robertklein9190 2 года назад

Interesting, was with the 533MP Co. 65-66 and barracks were at the end of Vogelweg at that time, but patrolled Landstule and Ramstein area. Had a fantastic time in and around K-town along with traveling all around Europe for 1 1/2 years. Just a fact, the 65 Mustang was for sale at the PX for $1999.

@davidd.daigle3849 7 лет назад

Yup , 84' to 86' ...Back road out of Vogelweh housing ... Under train -trestle take left , then back road into K-town ... take a Left at the Bahnhoff .... straight for a ways parallel the tracks .... Then a Left that went by the Swim Badd .... then a Right to the Then front gate with the Capri -Club right hard by on the right ... Sound familiar ?

@alfernandez4260 9 лет назад

I was stationed @ Ramstein USAF AGS in the flightline working with the F4's. Hanged out at the Starlight and the clubs in K-town. Great times in Germany 1983-1985

@M.S.M.111 5 лет назад

The MCD is closed down now, at 7:31 is now the main entrance of the hospital, at 8:41 Karstadt has closed down a few years ago and years before that they closed down the theater(which is now at another place) and now there is a big shopping Mall, so many things have changed, you wouldnt recognise it anymore

@Txnnev61 5 лет назад

I drove B270 for 4 years starting in 1973 to 1977 when I was stationed at a remote site in Clausen just north of Pirmasens. Vogelweh and Kleber got all the first run US movies long before they made their way to Pirmasens. My favorite restaurant in Germany was Dino's Pizzeria in Hohenecken. The first night 4 of us walked in there for a pizza there were 8 tables. When I returned in 1983 the restaurant had two floors with a large dining room for large parties on the second floor. This video truly brought back a lot of memories even though I never visited the McDonalds in Kaiserslautern. Thanks D Evans for the trip down memory lane.

@tcsnewlyfe 7 лет назад

Wow. My Son found this video. He was born in 1984 K-Town. We lived in an apartment at the end of the main walk in front of McDonald's. Thanks for trip down memory lane.

@compassdetectors 8 лет назад

Lots of things have changed over here. All American housing areas are fenced in now, no more free drive through from the backroad to B40. Is it better now? I don´t think so. Everything is more isolated and it is getting harder to get german friends visiting. No more germans coming to the basement sales or getting a icecrem at the guest house. To bad the good old time is gone.

@davidd.daigle3849 7 лет назад

Wow , I used to live in the end of the 1100 block that was nearest to the road exiting housing and went under a train -trestle .. From there , you took a left & that brought you to downtown K-town in the vicinity of the bahnhoff .... That's the road you're talking about , right ? Closed off , you say ? No more drink or bread trucks visiting housing ?

@compassdetectors 7 лет назад

Yes, everything is fenced in now and there is the gate closed. Sometime, if there is construction on the other side, they open it up for a little while. Most of the big buildings have been brought down and small single family houses where build in there. Look at google earth. It might be in there already.

@sailrjim 11 лет назад

The MacDonalds in K-town was opened by a Colonel who was an Oral Surgeon at Ramstein Air Base. He removed my wisdom teeth in 1974 I believe. The guy was a real butcher! He really found his calling, opening the Mickey D's in K-town! We returned to the U.S. in 1978 and have never been back although we have wanted to many time. The weird part about this video is that I don't recognize anything on that drive into town.

@lawrenceoneal1658 10 лет назад

I was there 77-80, lived in #1175 (but I wouldn't call it a 'house'). Remember very clearly riding my bike to the O Club, taking a right and riding down that big hill and then taking a left into Guest Housing area...where we eventually stayed for 2 weeks as we PCS's back to the states. Thank you very much for sharing....

@NapaMusicShibs 11 лет назад

Thanks for sharing, I lived on Landstuhl Hill from 1980 to 1983, I went to K-Town High and then had to move to Ramsteign High when they split up K-Town. Absolutely the best time of my life! I miss it and this video has brought back memories! Thanks Again

Town FRANKENSTEIN was the town after Hochspeyer. Daughter born Landstuhl Military hospital. Shopped at Commissary in Vogelweh - also PX and went few time to Ramstein Air Force base. Bought beer steins - Cuckoo clocks- Got almost 4 German marcs to the U.S. Dollar. Lived in K-Town apartment top 3rd floor - very small apartment American Army couple on 2nd floor and another Army couple across the street - all German landlords. 18 months over there was long enough - hardly any warm weather there and very hard to find clothing that was not super expensive - PX hardly had any clothes for sale - was awful. Had a Peugeot to drive around and went to one Christmas party at the Officers club. Klaber Kaisern had a movie theater so that was good. WOW, long time ago
