U.S. Army Garrison Ansbach

U.S. Army Garrison Ansbach delivers and integrates base support to enable the readiness of permanent, rotational, and expeditionary forces for a Strong Europe.

Ansbach has been a garrison city since the end of the 2nd World War and is the governmental capital of Middle Franconia. Stadt Ansbach has hosted military garrisons for hundreds of years. The first military installation, known as Hindenburg Kaserne, was built in 1772. It hosted German Soldiers until the end of World War II when it was occupied by the U.S. Army. It was returned to the German government in the early 1990s and is now home to a Bruecken Center shopping mall.  Ansbach is a beautiful city with a rich history. Margrave's Palace, the Orangerie and Park, and the Kasper-Hauser-Memorial are just a few of the many historical sights located here. Ansbach borders the Franconian Heights Nature Park which has extensive forests and open space and is also a point of interest on German Castle Road, which begins in Mannheim in the German west and goes as far east as Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic.
