Nellingen Kaserne was a U.S. Army airfield and barracks near Stuttgart in the town of Ostfildern in Germany. [1]

History

The site was selected in the 1930's as the site for a new airport for Stuttgart but was instead developed as a military airfield names Nellingen Fliegerhorst in 1938.

Following World War II the U.S. used Nellingen to host various units until after the Cold War and Gulf War. Most of the units stationed at Nellingen from the 1950's onward were assigned to the VII Corps (US) headquartered nearby at Kelley Barracks and was part of the Stuttgart Military Community. [2]

Nellingen Kaserne was closed as part of the US Forces drawdown after German Reunification and the Gulf War. In 1992 the installation was closed and the property was returned to the German government, which razed and redeveloped the site.
