A Look Back: Amelia Earhart Hotel

 Second in a series on structures around Wiesbaden, for folks who were stationed here with the Army/Air Force in the 1960s to 1980s era.

Today, the Amelia Earhart Hotel on the Konrad-Adenauer-Ring (SW Wiesbaden). 

So the Amelia Earhart hotel building is still there....no longer used as a hotel, but used by the US government for office space.   The structure stands, same as in the 1980s.

Across the street, for those who remember the Walter's Futterkrippe Imbis site....it's still there and providing the same level of food.  Prices?  Well....it's probably tripled over what you paid in 1978.  

I would imagine the menu hasn't changed in over forty years.

The hospital site (100 meters away)?  It was turned over to the German police. Far as I can tell....nothing on this site was torn down...everything is still the same.


If you go further east on the ring, there's the sports field/sports hall.  Part of the sports field is being dug up and a new indoor pool complex (with parking) is to be built (probably 2025 before it's done).  It'll replace the old indoor complex on Mainzer Strasse (really in decay at this point).
