Does anyone has got old pictures from Bad Oeynhausen until 1954?
Can anyone help to find an adress etc to find photos etc.?
I am living in Bad Oeynhausen (in the former "district"). My grandma and her children have left Bad Oeynhausen in 1945 (?) and come back in 1954.
The only english word my father knew was "chocolate"...
Does anyone needs photos from BadO from today'?

The only photographs that BAOR Locations has of Bad O (to my knowledge) are those that are here:-

http://baor-locations.com/Badoeynhausen.aspx

If you have any that show the buildings (or heir replacements) today would be welcome, and would be posted on the page above. Let me know if you have anything like that, and we can arrange for me to receive them.

Paul.

Here is a little snippet from Bad Oeynhausen in the Pathe News when the HQ moved.

I found lots of interesting OTHER bits of News reels.

Can you believe the uniforms and civvy garb in the Munchenglad newsreel? Interesting to see what kids wore in the 50s, no jeans then.

Where are some of those kids now?

Brilliant stuff.

@Len (Ciphers): is it possible, that is Charlottenplatz (square) and not Charlottenstreet? Meanwhile I have read something about the (my hometown) Bad Oeynhausen history. Interesting. Some people said, there have been leaflets in the beginning of 1945 with a text not to destroy Bad Oeynhausen "because we want to live there"...

I posted the same on the RAOC site.

Believe it or not! I have had a reply from one guy. He is on the Newsreel as a child.

Danzig, it is possible that I have the name wrong .. a long time ago .. it was about two minute walk from the HQ BAOR building, five minutes from the 'bath house', great after a 12 hour night shift and about ten minutes from the Kurpark ..

Charlottenplatz is about an eight minute walk (less to a fit young squaddie like you) almost due east of the Hotel Konigshof (if it is the same one Smile ) It links Doktor-Neuhauser Strasse with Heinrich Strasse.

You would need to be going some to reach the nearest, present day, Charlotten Strasse Wink . It is nearly 11km walking distance, in Minden.

Danzig has sent some photographs to me of present day Bad O, plus one older one. Do you remember the Lions outside the HQ building?!?!

I am just waiting for hie reply as to where he would like me to put them.

And don't anybody think of a silent wise remark as an answer to that last bit either.

Ciphers, you're right.
The Charlottenstraße is named ""Dr.-Neuhäußer-Str" today. You can find it at maps.google ...

Fantastic stuff - you guys never cease to surprise me with the variety and quality of resources that you are able to quickly add to this site. In my view the internet is generally full of "tosh" but you guys show just how useful and powerful the internet can be.

Great work! 'cheers'

We use what we can find Very Happy Some items searched out go straight out the window because they are definitely silent . Others prove to be of use, and wherever possible credit is given, permission asked, etc.

Paul.

P.S. You are not anywhere near Rhos by any chance??
