History of
Storck Barracks
Storck Barracks is named in honor
of Colonel Louis B. Storck, U.S. Army. Colonel Storck served as Executive
Officer for the 4th Armored Division, Commander of Combat Command A and 37th
Armored Regiment, as well as, the S-3 and Commander of the Tank Destroyer
Battalion during World War II. Colonel Storck was awarded the Silver Star
posthumously for his gallantry in action near Raids, France from July 17th
through the 25th, 1944.
The 425 acre
"Luft Park" that eventually became Storck Barracks came into being in 1936 for
utilization by the German Air Force. It was first used as a supply, maintenance
and repair facility for the Luftwaffe. The Castle Berlichingen in the village of
Illesheim was used as headquarters. In the same year a Bahnhof and Post Office
were built. Between the time of its construction in 1936 and the fall of
the Nazi government was the airfield used only twice by fighter aircraft. For 10
months in 1942 the Edelweiss Squadron underwent transition training from the U88
to the Messerschmidt 410 before being assigned to the Western Front . In 1943 it housed a night fighter squadron flying ME410's
against Allied Bombers out of England.
In early April,
1945, the German soldiers left the airfield taking with them everything that
could be transported. On April 13th the 101st Calvary Group, U.S. Army captured
Illesheim. U.S. Air Force used the airfield as a base against Nazi Germany from
April to May of 1945.
Since 1947 there has been a succession of U.S.
units with a variety of missions stationed at Illesheim. In the late 50's and
early 60's new troop billets, a dining facility and family housing were
constructed. Major renovations occurred in 1973. In 1985-1987 the Flight
Simulator was constructed. Currently Storck Barracks serves as the
Headquarters for the 11th AVN REGT.
