This
of course is the famous ZEPPELIN STRASSE that everybody stumbled
down on their way back to Ludendorff. Here
is the Grillhütte Am Bahnhof across the street from the
Kornwestheim train station. It is no longer there and everything
you knew is changed or gone. I went into one of the new places
to order a Dinkel Acker and I complained out loud that the last
time I was here was 39 years ago and my favorite place is gone,
someone at the bar heard me and said oh you mean the old
Bratwurst Grillehutte I said yah, I said the old man with the
bald head,, He said it's around the corner in a new location the
kids own it. I says GET OUTTA TOWN BUDDY WHERE!?! He shows me. I
met the kids! I said i haven't been here in 4 decades I'm sorry,
they give me a free bier. 
There's dad "Spiro" and his wife and his brother. Who can forget Spiro! I had forgot his name but I never forgot him. And you don't forget how to order Haunchen mitt Pom frittes und mayo. Stay tuned for more photos. Come back to this page.

I was stationed in Belgium 2017 and I drove to Stuttgart a few times. Somewhere around that huge tunnel was a coolplace with a Patio.
Of course it was time to order a Hofbrau and Schnitzel. Can't beat this.
Remember that clock tower
gentlemen, oh yes we all do.
The city's main Protestant church and one of Stuttgart's landmarks.
Also a good landmark for wayward soldiers trying to get back to the
Bahnhof.

--------------------
Anyhow a little history of Ludendorff Kaserne.
Besides Hofbrau and Dinkel Acker Ludendorff Kaserne
was HQ for the Wehrmacht's 5th Artillery Regiment during the war.
The Kaserne was originally named in honor of Gen. Erich Ludendorff.
General Ludendorff was a World War I hero (and early member of the Nazi
Party),
the original plaque still remains(remained) at the main gate (where is it
now!?!).
Ludendorff was one of the major participants in the 1923 Munich putsch,
in which the early Nazi Party attempted to take over the Bavarian
government.
General Ludendorff marched with Hitler to the Feldherrnhalle,
where he was the only marcher to advance against the line of police
without retreating.
MEANWHILE......
FRENCH CAPTURE STUTTGART APRIL 21, 1945
Following the capture of Nuremberg, the 7th Army discovered little
resistance as the
XXI Corps′ 12th Armored Division dashed 50 mi (80 km) to the
Danube, crossing it on 22 April,
followed several days later by the rest of the corps and the XV Corps as
well.
Meanwhile, on the 7th Army's right the VI Corps had moved southeast
alongside the French 1st Army.
In a double envelopment, the French captured Stuttgart on 21 April 1945
and by the next day both the French and the VI Corps had elements on the
Danube.
Shortly thereafter Hofbrau's for all.
