about us who we are
With our museum we preserve the history and friendship of the Americans who were stationed in the Fulda region. The tasks and the training required to fulfill the mission in an emergency. But we also document the everyday life and the friendship that grew with the US troops in the Fulda region as a result. We look at the many actions in which American troops were deployed to help the communities, towns and population. Of course, this also includes the pushing of many sports fields with heavy equipment. With pleasure, we also look at stars whose star has risen in Fulda. In sport, for example, SHAQUILLE O’NEAL, known as “Shaq”. He was a US basketball superstar.
But enough about the current state of the museum. We are constantly evolving. We are currently implementing several projects. I would like to briefly mention two projects here. The first is the publication series “US troops in the Fulda region and beyond”. The first title, which will be published in 2016, is “US Army in Schlitzerland – Elvis was here, too”. The other titles in the series have also been finalized and are listed below.
Are you a contemporary witness or would you like to contribute to this series? Then simply get in touch with us.
The other project is the creation of a “US Army in Germany” museum trail – starting in Kaiserslautern and continuing through many places in Germany. We are currently negotiating with various bodies to secure the relevant objects. Admittedly, it is a long-term project, but one in which you can also play a part. We finance ourselves and our helpers work on a voluntary basis. You can support our work by becoming a member of our support group, for example. You can find the application form directly here by clicking on the PDF logo on this page. There are many possibilities.
Well, I hope you have an interesting time browsing through our museum.

Donate Your contribution to history
We have been collecting exhibits bit by bit for many years. We receive history to friendship with the Americans who were stationed in the Fulda, Bad Hersfeld and Bad Kissingen region. Several people have already participated in the initiative and have also become part of this large and interesting story.
Take part and become part of this project! Leave your name in this story – support the initiative with a contribution!
We want to open additional exhibition rooms
For what?
Our museum in Fulda now has too little exhibition space.
We are in building an additional exhibition area in Tann/Rhön. We acquired the building with around 600m². We are now to renovate the building.
We need help for this – every euro or US dollar counts.
