Pattonville

Pattonville is a neighborhood in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, northeast of Stuttgart, with the unusual distinction of being a former United States military housing complex, as few U.S. installations returned to German control have been maintained in their former form.

[1] The community was named for General George S. Patton (1885–1945), commander of the Third Army in World War II.

Located northeast of the city and just southeast of Ludwigsburg, Pattonville was home to Stuttgart American High School from 1955 to 1992, with a peak enrollment of 1,200 during the 1960s.

Following the withdrawal of most Army units in the area after the Gulf War, the installation was returned to the German government.

[6] The former military airfield supports the rescue helicopter "Christoph 51", which was relocated there due to air traffic congestion at Stuttgart Airport.
