Wismarer Straße and the Ambassador Arms hotel parking lot. This whole area (hotel, Generals quarters, and Teen Club), like most of the other housing areas such as Platenstraße, were built in the mid-1950s. The Ambassador Arms was mainly a transient hotel for military personnel or families arriving and waiting for housing, or leaving and waiting for transportation. Before it was built, dependents were processed through the Baseler Hof Hotel downtown at Wiesenhüttenplatz 25.
