Hello! My father who is 78 years from Malta was part of the Royal Malta Artillery (part of British Army) and was based in Moore Barracks in 1962. I am trying to organise a visit for him to these barracks in Dortmund but have no clue whether these are still in existence. Grateful for any indications / help that I might receive here regarding the existence of these barracks including whether it is still possible for one to visit
Thanks ! Clare - Malta

Clare, I hope you can open these links of Moore Bks and the later Wrexham Bks , Mulheim.
I do not know if the buildings still exist in Dortmund? The Barracks will certainly be gone!

Hello Alan Thanks a lot for your kind reply and the links provided which are very helpful. I am also interested to get to know the exact map location of these buildings (& ideally an indication of whether it would be possible to access if still in use) - perhaps there is anyone in the forum who might have some additional information on this Thank you Clare

Hi Clare
Alan is correct the barracks have been demolished, please put Freie-Vogel-Strasse Dortmund into Google the section alongside the B1 and 236 is where Moore/West Riding Barracks used to be, see 1 below for the original barracks layout.

Clare, Hopefully following on from Steve's map instructions. I hope I have found the correct area?.
The current photo of houses is typical of some conversions of Wrexham Barracks.
Regards Alan

Sorry to say Alan you are too far to the north, the area is south of the B1 and east of the 236, cheers

RED Blob is the location of where Moore Bks were. Now gone!
GREEN Blob is the Railway Station (Above the word DORTMUND)
YELLOW BLOB is the Airport. (You should be able to get a flight from UK . Take a Taxi to old bks location
Are you coming from UK by car/plane to Germany, or from Malta?

Good morning Claire, if you need a local to help you with anything, here I am. When do you plan to come over? I am living here for 30 years now and saw those barracks change and vanish. Good luck, and have a nice stay!
