MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGER
Message from the Manager,
Family and MWR Baumholder
Welcome to Your New Home!
The Baumholder military
community is affectionately
known as, ‘The Rock”
throughout IMCOM-Europe
with good reason; not only
are we (literally) located on
mountains of rock in the
Rheinland-Pfalz state of
Germany, we are a closeknit,
rock-solid military community
which embodies the Army
values of Loyalty, Duty, Respect,
Selfless Service, Honor,
Integrity and Personal Courage
from Command all the way to
the folks serving the best pizza
and hamburgers on post at
our wonderful Strikers Bowling
Center snack bar.
In short, you have just become
part of the “Best Kept Secret
in IMCOM-E”, and
we are thrilled to welcome
you! Our goal is to be your
first choice. Family & MWR
operates 21 front door
facilities, with an additional 14
‘behind the scene’ programs
and offices in Baumholder.
From the largest paintball
field in IMCOM-Europe at
our Outdoor Recreation area,
to the award-winning LIVE
theater performance program
at Hilltop Theater, Family &
MWR’s mission is to bring you
‘a little piece of home’ during
your overseas tour. To that end,
we strive to deliver world class
customer service and unique,
innovative programming
designed specifically for
the Baumholder military
community.
This magazine has been
designed to give you a brief
overview of what Family &
MWR in Baumholder has to
offer during your overseas
tour at this installation. Special
Events, such as Baumholder
Idol and Community Wide
events like our Independence
Day Celebration, are just a few
of the myriad opportunities for
you to get out, get moving, and
make lasting memories here
on “The Rock”.
Again, welcome to your new
home! If there is anything we
can help you with, or if you
have ideas for events you’d like
to see here in Baumholder,
please don’t hesitate to
contact any member of our
Family & MWR staff.

Dear Reader:
Family and Morale, Welfare
and Recreation (Family and
MWR) invites corporate
and individual businesses to
support our community by
taking part in the Corporate
Sponsorship and Advertising
Program. Family and MWR
values brand loyalty and
provides direct interaction
with the Military market.
To begin, Family and MWR
is a network of support and
leisure services designed to
serve the needs, interests
and responsibilities of
each individual in the Army
community, as well as enhance
the quality of their lives.
From family, child and youth
programs to recreation, sports,
entertainment, travel and
leisure activities—Family and
MWR employees worldwide
strive to deliver the highest
quality programs and services
at each installation. Family
and MWR helps ensure Army
readiness by caring for the
people who serve and stand
4
ready to defend the nation.
The Baumholder community
consists of approximately
2,250 Military personnel,
Family members, Retirees,
and Civilian employees. Family
and MWR believe your
participation in sponsorship
can provide heightened
visibility and positive publicity
that will continuously promote
and benefit your company for
years to come.
Sponsorship is an exchange
of goods and/or services in
return for public recognition,
advertising and promotional
benefits of an equivalent
value. It is neither a gift
nor a donation—it is a
smart business decision that
increases the visibility of the
company’s products and/or
services that can be a most
effective marketing tool.
Sponsorship also establishes
a deeper association and
integration between markets
and can prove to be a valued
part of your company’s
marketing and advertising plan.
The opportunity to support
the events and/or programs
provides measurable response
within the military community.
The sponsorship program
offers your company an
effective way to access a wide
range of audiences while being
able to gauge your customer’s
response to your products/
services. The benefits are
endless and it provides great
means of broadening your
competitive edge. Sponsorship
acts as a faster growing form
of advertisement and your
company’s image, prestige and
credibility can improve greatly.
Whether you live within
the military community or
support those who do, your
participation will be notable
and recognizable; Family and
MWR would appreciate your
partnership to show those in
the community that together
we are here to support. It is
our goal to give back to the
military community and do
all we can to enhance their
lifestyle.
Again, we would like to invite
you and your business to
participate in the sponsorship
and advertising program.
Please contact us to find
out more about the benefits
of corporate and individual
sponsorship and/or advertising
at 0631-3406-4049.
Kind regards,
JR Orlando

MWR Philosophy
Soldiers are entitled to the

afforded the society they are
pledged to defend. Keeping an
Army ready to fight and win
takes more than hard work

for America’s Army, essential to
a ready, self-reliant force.

in the Dynamikum Pirmasens! As a “join in“ museum it invites visitors of all ages to explore
various natural and technical phenomena on 160 interactive experimenting stations,
which are spread over 4,000 sqm, and to therefore quench their inquisitiveness in a playful
manner. The theme is “movement” – be it in the sense of “moving
something” or „to move“. In addition, the Dynamikum is suitable for
kids birthday parties as well as corporate events and offers rooms
that can be used for lectures and educational lessons. Furthermore,
a disc golf course including 12 courses is located in the Country Park
Strecktal, adjacent to the Dynamikum.

Hilltop Theater
Community Theater at its best!
Your source for quality entertainment
Hilltop Theater is your source
for quality entertainment
and exciting, engaging, live
theatrical productions. Each
season, we bring you the
best in community theater
productions with a stellar
variety of contemporary and
classic comedies, musicals,
dramas, revues, family and
youth shows.
While prior experience is
welcome, it is not necessary to
become an active participant
in professionally led, awardwinning theatre productions.
A creative community outlet
with a variety of volunteer
opportunities to get you
engaged and involved, each
production has open
tryouts and interviews for
volunteer actors, singers,
dancers, designers, painters,
builders and stage managers.
The theater also offers a
strong youth program with
two shows a year designed
specifically for youth actors
and stage crews under the age
of 18. We also offer the annual
two week DRAMA CAMP for
youth from ages 8 to 18, as
well as partnership programs
with both SKIES and the Teen
Center.
In addition to theatrical
productions, if singing is your
thing, a Master Music Class is
offered twice a month, focusing
on improving vocal capabilities
and enhancing music
reading skills. “RheinlandPfalz Idol” is one of the
premier talent competitions,
drawing participants from
across Europe. This 4-week
competition begins the first
Saturday in June and culminates
in the Finals, on-stage live,
at the Independence Day
Celebration. We also host the
famous “UNDERWORLD”
haunted house under the
(rumored to be haunted)
Rheinlander Club for two
weeks, every year in October
(when else?), with over 30
volunteer actors and set
designers guaranteeing a
frighteningly good time for the
not-so-faint-of-heart.
Productions are always very
popular, and you can check
out the Family and MWR
Baumholder website to see
what shows are coming up
next.

Army Lodging
The Lagerhof Inn –Welcoming you in style
For most new arrivals, Army
Lodging’s Lagerhof Inn will
be your first experience—
your ‘introduction’ to the
Baumholder community. The
Lagerhof staff is well aware
of this and is most eager to
make you feel welcomed and
comfortable as you embark on
your European tour of duty.
The original three buildings
that make up the Lagerhof Inn
were constructed between
1932-1934 and operated as
a kurhotel by a private firm.
During WWII the buildings
were occupied by German
forces, with U.S. Military forces
beginning to utilize the facilities
in the early 1950’s. A complete
renovation started in 1983,
and the Lagerhof reopened in
1984. In 1999, the final building
was added to complete the
present Lagerhof Inn.
Please enjoy your stay at
our Army Lodging facility in
Baumholder! It is our pleasure
to serve you as one of our
guests, and we hope you
grow to love our military
community as much as we do.
