The expo “Friedberg – The Army Home of Elvis Presley” is open for the public until mid-September. Highlights of the ‘tour’ in the former Ray Barracks, are pictures and posters depicting the life at the army base in the late 50’ies. Original items, such as metal plates and cups from the kitchen and a signed album (by Ed Sullivan) and even the mailman’s uniform of Mr. Kössler (who delivered the fan mail to Elvis) add a special touch to the expo. Also, the walk through the army base was an experience, though we couldn't help noticing that the Barracks are in a very shabby condition.

The expo itself, costs you 4 euro. Below is a link to a slide show.
