The U.S. military has played a key role in the development of Germany after World War II and the effects of the decade-long military presence have been far reaching. Not just in military terms for NATO’s security architecture in Europe, but also in societal terms for countless villages of the respective regions with military installations. For many Americans, they have become a “home away from home” during their stay.
This event will shed light on the German-American communities in Rheinland-Pfalz and Stuttgart and compare the U.S. military presence and the social and economic consequences that derive from it. What marks have Americans left in the past decades? Do they have an influence on their local surroundings and everyday life? How do Americans and locals live together? How are Stuttgart and Rheinland-Pfalz different from each other?
The Atlantic Academy Rheinland-Pfalz and the German-American Center Stuttgart will provide an in-depth look into this topic together with representatives from the U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfal and U.S. Army Garrison Stuttgart and look forward to an insightful exchange with school classes and students!
