Construction of the base and training areas began in 1938.
\"The Third Reich needed a training area and Baumholder was picked. The German government appropriated 29,158 acres and resettled about 842familiesfrom 14 villages to clear the land for use by the Third Reich.\"
Baumholder\'s military history began in 1937 when the German government selected the area for a large military training ground, appropriating land and relocating residents to clear the way for the Wehrmacht.By 1938, the first barracks were ready, and various German and Austrian units were stationed there.Here\'s a more detailed breakdown:- Selection and Construction (1937-1938):In 1937, the German government needed a large area for military training and chose Baumholder, due to its varied terrain, sparse population, and approximately 25,000 acres of land.
- Evacuation and Relocation:To clear the land, 842 families from 14 villages were resettled, and 29,158 acres were appropriated.
