Mayor G. Jung

Dear visitor,

I welcome you to the website of the city of Baumholder and thank you for your interest.

The garrison town of Baumholder offers its approx. 4300 inhabitants an attractive environment for living, working and living. It is the namesake and at the same time the largest town of the association municipality of the same name. The city is still characterized by the military training area, the facilities of the German and American forces and the American community, which are partially surrounded by it.
Find out on these pages about various offers of the city of Baumholder for its citizens, about the daily coexistence with the military and the American citizens around the military training ground and get to know the long-standing partnership between Baumholder and the French city of Warcq in the Ardennes or the partnership with the US city of Delaware, Ohio.
Perhaps these sites make you curious about our city? I would be very pleased about your visit.

Kind regards from Baumholder
Your mayor Günther Jung
