PostSubject: Unknown Barracks in Minden??   Sun Nov 01, 2009 10:50 pm

I have just come across a possible reference to a Barracks in Minden, and am asking all you wise people out there if you have heard of it.

It was apparently called Joslin Barracks (spelling as found) and was on Ringstrasse. I have no knowledge of Minden at all, so call on those who were there for help.

Paul.

Hello Paul
There is a Ringstrasse in Minden, but I have never heard of that Barracks,I was there for 5 years in the 60s and have family in Bad O, which we visit every year.
Yours

Re unknown barracks in Mindon
In1956 (September) I was posted to 87 Tels Wksp REME at Malita House. Apparently previously been a coffee factory. I was only there for a week before moving onto 31 Armd Wksp REME at Rotenberg.

Re unknown barracks in Minden
I was stationed in Clifton Barracks (Mudra Kasserne) from 1985 - 2000 this was situated in the Ringstrasse, there was no other camp on this Road, however the name of Joslin Barracks does ring a bell, but i do belive it to be the location of the Red shield and church on the following bearing "Joslin Barracks" lat=52.2926916746, lon=8.91510910239 google earth.

Red shield and church I think thats where The Minden Amin Club (MAC,s Bar)was,over the Weser Bridge go right and follow the road around on the right hand side,there was two bars across the road,but all that has gone now. I was there last year.

I have a feeling the Red Shield club (Macs) and the Cinema complex was located in Rhodesia Barracks. I can't recall it been called by the Brits as anything else but the Red Shield club and never as a barrack but for some reason Rhodesia Barracks come to mind. Now I recall as a SDS driver based in the ComCen Kingsley Barracks there was a small building on the main road from the Reme workshop down the road from Clifton Barracks a building which housed officers or personall from the Education center could this have been the Joslin Barracks on Ring Strasse. The local GCP main police station was literaly around the corner near to Simian strasse...
