History

Military hospital

Near the larger American location Baumholder, the 98th General Hospital in Neubrücke, today a district of the municipality Hoppstädten- Weiersbach was built. The 44 -acre hospital site was opened in 1952 and had 1,000 beds and various medical stations, including surgery, dentistry, orthopedics, radiology, rehabilitation and ophthalmology. From the 1970s to 1984 the hospital was closed for reasons of cost, then it was kept for further use.

South at the train tracks, there was Lager-/Güterabfertigungshallen which were used until the 1990s to the closure of the furniture of the hospital.

Interesting are the extensive railway installations for "the army hospital trains". The reaching to the campus by railroad are now removed. The linking of the Mainz and Saarbrücken near- distance railway station lying Neubrücke is, however, in the immediate vicinity. In the same village there was also the Bohemian Airfield, now an airfield with a gliding sports club.

The UCB has become a showpiece conversion project in the Hunsrück, as an abandoned by the American forces land could be used again here. The three founding professors were Michael Eulenstein, Hanns Köhler and Marott Bronder.

The grounds and buildings were renovated or rebuilt in the 1990s. Thus, the location of Birkenfeld University Trier, Environmental Campus Birkenfeld was short ( UCB).

Some American apartment buildings and a primary school were in use until the end of 2009.
