I was station at the 98th from 1991 to 1994 I worked in labor and delivery.I got attached to the 212th mash prior to the 3rd CHS deployment.I had the task of locking the doors of the L&D for the last
time.I later worked in the wellbaby clinic with SGT Tommy thomas we, also helped with the vascetomys.Some of us clubed at the 49ers or the Q club some at the wall …ha ha.
President Kennedy was assassinated in the afternoon, but in Nurnberg, it was already after dark when we heard the news. That was Thursday, and our official notification came Saturday morning. There were regular morning formations for the Medical Detachment enlisted men going on duty. But on that Saturday morning everybody was present – the Medical Detachment, the Dental Clinic, and other units housed on the grounds. We all wore our class A uniforms – on duty and off, enlisted and officer. Even the nurses were in uniform. We formed up in front of the hospital, marched out on the grass, and faced the hospital. Several messages from military and civilian authorities were read. At the time, I was surprised we did not get a message from President Johnson. The flag was raised and lowered to half staff to Taps, and it was over. As we were leaving the field, I turned and saw the traffic on Rothenburger Strasse had stopped. The people were out of their cars, lining the fence, and watching us in silence.
I just wandered upon this site and found it great that someone started this up. I was and x-ray tech at 98th Gen from 92-94, during which time the hospital converted to the 3rd CSH. The hospital was closing by the time I left. I went back to Nurnberg in 1998 and it was sad to see the hospital and kasernes empty. I had a wonderful tour in Nurnberg!

I was born in this hospital on May 18th, 1985. I was just talking with my mother about it today (my birthday). She was serving in Germany at that time.
I was born here May 27, 1957. I’d like to go back to visit… even if it is a parking lot or convenience store. Problem is… my original birth certificate is lost and I need to get a replacement in order to get a passport. Can anyone direct me to the proper authority? I’d greatly appreciate it.
Barry, you may be able to get a copy of your “Consular report of birth” from the US state department. Unless your parents went to the trouble to get a German civil birth certificate that is all the documentation there is. My first son was born in Nurnburg Army Hospital. I’m not at home so I don’t recall the full name of the form, but its something like Consular report of birth abroad.
My ex-husband (Mike Sweeten) and I were stationed at the 98th General Hospital from late 1985 until early 1989. We both worked as Behavioral Science Specialists (he in the Drug & Alcohol Rehab Unit and me in the Social Work Services Unit). Our daughter was born during the last 3 months we were there. We initially lived in an apartment on the German economy (our love nest) before being assigned to army housing directly across the street from the hospital. We loved Germany and so enjoyed our time at the 98th General Hospital!
I too was stationed there from 1988 – 1991. I actually worked at the 3rd Floor Postpartum Unit from 89 – 91. My most fond memories were I had them there. Great place ! My initial tour started at Monteith barracks back in 1981….
Hi Tammy,

I was good friends with Mike. I had redish hair and also a 91G assigned to outpt psych, down hall from SWS on the upper floor. I was stationed at the hospital from Sept 1985 to Sept 1989. My wife was Kathy…
I have very fond memories of Nurnberg!
Hey Doug, I remember you. I used to work as the secretary for social work services. My maiden name was Kardos. My husband was a drug and alcohol counselor in the RTF (Phil Rainey). I remember you had a little girl.
I worked a lot in the Hospital from 1983-1987. I was stationed accross Nuremberg at Merrell barracks as a Medic in the ambulance platoon. We took all of our sick pts. to the Nuremberg Army Hospital.

Does anyone have information on a unexploded bomb from WWII that was uncovered in the front of the hospital? I believe it was back in the 1970′s.
