Europaviertel (Wiesbaden)

The Europaviertel (European quarter) in Wiesbaden is a former barracks area named Gersdorff Kaserne at the edge of the city center of the Hessian state capital, approximately 2 kilometers southwest of the Marktkirche.

Between 1868 and 1945, three different barracks, a military hospital and a laundry occupied the site of today's "European quarter".

All of the streets in "Camp Lindsey" were named for the 31 American fatalities from "Operation Vittles," the 1948-49 Berlin Airlift.

United States Military Forces & Installations in Europe listed units at Lindsey as including the 7100th AB Wing, HQ, Air Force Technical Applications Center Europe, 7001st CSW, 701st ABG, 1st CCS, 1157th TCHOS, 1802nd Support Squadron, 1836th EIG, District 70 AFOSI, Det.
