finding garrison church bad oeynhausen
« on: Sunday 10 September 06 07:26 BST (UK) »
I was born in England but now live in Australia.  Next March I am going to Germany and want to find the church my parents were married in (4th Feb 1947).  They were both serving in the British Army and met there.  Does anyone know which church was classified as the garrison church (I know it was C of E).  I am also going to visit hoenstein where my father was a prisoner of the germans.  I presume the camp will be gone but does anyone know if there are any museums or historical look ups available in that town.

Hi :)
If it was a C of E church then it was probably a church that was actually on the army base itself rather than in a local town/village.

Have you tried googling bad oeynhausen

good luck
