The Ledward Barracks installation was constructed during 1935-36 under the original name Panzerkaserne. The U.S. Army took over in 1945 and in 1946 re-designated as Ledward Barracks (in honor of Colonel William J. Ledward). The movie theater was Building 238. Theater included a stage and was utilized for briefings and special events in addition to movies. Closed in 2013, and in 2014 the base was returned to the German government.
Was operated by the Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES).

My parents were stationed at Ledward Barracks in Schweinfurt 1979-82; I was there with them during ’79 and most of ’80, plus a summer visit in ‘81. I have fond memories of seeing “Superman” (for the second time), “Moonraker” (my first 007), “Goin’ Coconuts” (hey, who didn’t love Donny & Marie during the late 70s!), “Battlestar Galactica,” “1941,” “Star Trek: The Motion Picture,” “The Jerk,” “Revenge of the Pink Panther,” "Tilt,” “More American Graffiti.” A bunch of Disney: "Mary Poppins,” “Sleeping Beauty,” “The Black Hole,” “The Jungle Book,” “The Cat from Outer Space,” etc. A steady stream of revival/re-issue bookings: “Jaws,” "American Graffiti,” “Smokey and the Bandit,” etc. And some R-rated movies I suspect my parents regret taking me to: “Apocalypse Now,” “The Deer Hunter,” "Slap Shot,” and "Saturday Night Fever.”
