English: This is my barracks building in Badenerhof Kaserne in Heilbronn. I was stationed at Badenerhof from December 1959 to the end of July 1960. My room was the last two windows on the right of the second floor. I shared the room with three other men. I took this photo in 1973.

The base was built for the German army in the 1930s, as Ludendorff Kaserne. Rifle racks built into the wall show that it was occupied by 12 German soldiers. The U.S. Army moved into Badenerhof in the early 1950s. The Army left in the early 1990s, Houses and apartments were built on the site.

As I remember, soldiers lived only on the second and third floors. The first floor had offices, the recreation room, and perhaps other spaces. This suggests that 96 men lived in this building in the 1960s and 1970s. The same rooms might have housed 284 German soldiers in the 1930s.
