A tour of Camp King

August 20, 2011 By Graham Tappenden Leave a Comment

On Saturday, 20th August, 2011 there will be a tour of the area in Oberursel known as “Camp King” with local historian Manfred Kopp.

The tour covers the history of the area from the Reichssiedlungshof in the 1930s, through the time of the Dulag Luft up to the end of the U.S. Army presence in the town.

The meeting point is the Edeka car park at the corner of Camp-King-Allee at 2pm, and the tour costs 3EUR. It ends at the Kirchenladen where archive material can be viewed.

This is an interesting opportunity for local residents to learn more about the history of the area that they live in.
