For years, there have been rumours about plans to tear down the army base Ray Barracks in Germany. Visitors may remember that “filming or pictures” were strictly forbidden. Elvis fans were not welcome – at all. But times do change. For the first time in years, the Barracks will be open to the public… with a 4 week Elvis expo.

There’s no charge, and as a bonus on weekends, a few ‘small’ events are scheduled at the former army base: music nights and get-togethers with Harley and Cadillac clubs, a Jazz and Oldie evening, a Vespa reunion and more.

The tour includes the famous barbershop, the chapel and the NCO Club where the German press conference was held. Open to visitors from the 15th of August until mid September.
