Furnishings and appliances

Temporary loaner furniture

Please be aware housing units in Germany are smaller than homes in the U.S. and no government storage is provided once here. Non-temporary storage must be arranged BEFORE shipping household goods.

Single and unaccompanied Soldiers who will live in the barracks should not bring furniture or excessive household goods. Click here for more information.

Temporary or loaner furnishings are available for up to 90 days incoming and up to 60 days for outgoing personnel on and off post.

On-post housing has installed appliances. All on-post unaccompanied personnel (UPH) units are furnished with bedroom, living room, and dining room furniture, depending on the Service member's rank and building assignment. All UPH residents are issued a refrigerator.

Appliances and wardrobes are issued to off-post housing residents for the duration of their tour or tour extensions.

Please note: Most off-post German units have 220v, and many appliances are not compatible with the voltage. Transformers to convert the voltage from 220v to 110v can be purchased, but is not ideal in some cases.

All on-post housing units are equipped with both 110v and 220v outlets.
