Do you know this place - Bothfeld Kaserne

We lived in the Bothfeld Kaserne for a short while in 1948 when it was known as 125 Transit Camp. We later moved into quarters in Spilker Strasse, Klefeld. My sister was christened in the Bothfeld church in June 1948.

2008 / Freiherr von Fritsch Kaserne tabular history: 1937-1939 as artillery barracks built 1939-1945: flak-Regiment 7, flak master battery 1943: almost completely destroyed in air raid! 1945-1959, May 15: the barracks site was inhabited by homeless foreigners 1960-2000: down June 1960 the Bundeswehr used the barracks site again militarily 2000: abandoned site! By wanton destruction, the buildings are unfortunately all in a bad state. The terrain while attempted to secure, which is pretty difficult but of course on the size. It was started to renew parts, but also there was before the vandalism not just made…

I had forgotten about on line translaters.Thanks for the memory jog Jerry.
