Mauerstücke, 2006 vor dem neuen NATO-Landstreitkräfte-Hauptquartier in den Campbell Barracks fotografiert; die NATO verließ Heidelberg 2013, und seitdem sagt nichts, wo sie sind.
Die ausführliche Geschichte und die Quellenangaben dieses Eintrags liegen bislang nur auf Englisch vor.
A Department of Defense photograph published by the United States European Command, dated 20 September 2006, shows pieces of the Berlin Wall resting outside the new Allied Land Component Command Headquarters building in Heidelberg, which had opened two days earlier as one of NATO's two operational-level land headquarters. The city of Heidelberg's site brief for the Europan 12 competition records that the new NATO headquarters building was put up between 2004 and 2006 on the Campbell Barracks site in the Südstadt, which ties the building in the photograph to Campbell Barracks.
NATO left Heidelberg in March 2013 for a command base in Izmir, and the American forces left the barracks the same year. The Land Baden-Württemberg had already said in January 2013 that it was interested in the new NATO building; it bought three of the barracks buildings in 2016 and rebuilt them for the police, with new grounds. None of these sources mentions the Wall pieces, so whether they stayed, went with NATO or the US Army, or were removed is not known. The 2006 photograph is the last record read.
