I grew up in a #Military Family, attended more schools than years (Canadian Provinces, Northern ( #Soest Westphalia) & Southern ( #Baden Schwartzwald) areas of #Germany.

As a teen, I'd bike or walk to France, school ski trips to Austria, & bus toured Europe.

I've fixed Black Forest Cuckoo Clocks

Cool to read.

Grew up in #Soest long after the military left the bases.
But the buildings left had a big impact in my childhood. My grandparents had a flat in an complex formerly provided for leading officers, I went to school in one of the former school buildings build by the Canadians and even played sports on ice because there was an indoor ice rink at Möhnesee just because of the military base.

@Katiel WOW! I took a sailing course on the Möhnesee , and my school in Soest, is still a school, and exists to this day, only one of my schools that exist today. We lived on Lorenz-Weg. Near Kanadisher Weg. A store, a CANEX or PX, for military was on the corner and a school not more than a block away.
My school was Hannah-Arendt Gesamtschule
