HISTORY OF BAUMHOLDER POST:
Baumholder and its sister communities are rich in history. Baumholder itself has medieval origins, the first recorded mention of the town is found in a document dating back to 1156. World War II brought the military to Baumholder. The Third Reich needed a training area and Baumholder was picked. The German government appropriated 29,158 acres and resettled about 842 families from 14 villages to clear the land for use by the Third Reich. Thus was born Baumholder's Major Training area, used today for military training by Americans and a host of NATO countries. The French occupied the area in 1945, and in 1951 the Americans moved in. With the help of thousands of German workers, dwellings for American families were quickly constructed.

Today Baumholder is home to the largest concentration of U.S. combat soldiers outside the United States. It consists of Smith Barracks (on post), Wetzel area in Baumholder, the base operations area support teams of Strassburg in Idar-Oberstein, and Neubrucke near Birkenfeld.
