Wallace Barracks

Wallace Barracks is a former German and U.S. Army installation in the Bad Cannstatt district of Stuttgart, Germany.

[1] Around 100 CE, the Romans built the first stone fort on the site- a strategic location on the Neckar River with road connections to Mainz, Augsburg and Strasbourg.

From that time until the end of World War II, the site hosted units of the Reichswehr and Wehrmacht (German Army).

[4] During the Cold War various Army units were located at Wallace Barracks,[5] named for posthumous Medal of Honor recipient PFC Herman C.

[6] The 66th Counter Intelligence Corps Group used the installation during the 1950s and referred to it as Hallschlag University.
