(and MAES Elementary School Alumni)
My 1st grade class photo from The DoDDS Munich American
Elementary School located in Munich (Munchen) Germany (1962). The teacher shown
in the photo was Miss Bennis. Pictured are many unknown classmates
and a few I can still remember like Phillip Geiger, Chuck Scholtz, Marsha
Richards. I would appreciate someone who recognizes this class photo to
help me remember more. Where are you all now?
The Munich American High School (MAHS) and the Munich American Elementary Schools (MAES) were co-located on Cincinnatistrasse in the Perlacher Forst (Forest) housing area near Fasengarten. The school was open from 1946 until 1992 when it finally closed for good and became the Hauptschule at the Cincinnatistraße in Munich. It's gotten quite a nice (bright blue) paint job. It never looked like that back in the 50's and 60's.

Now back to the good old days...
We were riding busses like this one back in 1961-1963. I can even remember our bus drivers name was "Tony."
One of our favorite things was to go
to the movie theater.
It was so safe back then we could have walked anywhere together.
Excellent
overhead satellite view of the Munich American High School (MAHS)
Great interactive map link of the Perlacher American Housing Area
Overhead view of the Munich Mustangs horse mascot statue
Interactive aerial satellite view of the Munich American Elementary School
(MAES)
This is the best map tool!
After you see the map, switch to an "aerial" view then you can zoom in as much
as you want. You can swing the camera around and look at the front, back
and sides. This map places you right inside the Perlacher Forst housing
area. The school is on the corner of General-Kalb-Weg and
Cincinnatistrasse, on the opposite side of the road from the old PX, and the
hospital.
Trivia: Ryan O'neal graduated from the Munich American High School as a Mustang in 1959.
If you come across any other old class photos of the inside or outside of the school and would like to add them, please email me here. I am primarily looking for photos that are pre 1965.
