Sale of Married Quarters at GAF Jever - May 2007.
Thanks to Marcus Christ who Kindly sent us the package.
At first this package was confusing as it provided no plan which showed which house was which number on the plan.   When the text was translated it became obvious that this was deliberate as the whole estate was for sale with the intention that the new owner was to continue to rent all the properties.   Thanks to LtCol Joachim Linke and Maurice Parker I have been able to identify all the house numbers.   If you lived in one of these house during your time at RAF Jever,
then please click to see the detailed analysis, and let me know when and which house.

Legal Notices

1px-trans.gif, 43 bytesThe Government will accept only bids for the whole estate not for separate parts.

1px-trans.gif, 43 bytesThe estate has "Listed Building" status.   The visual tone of the estate must not be altered.   Additions in the form of ornamentation or building extensions to the houses or garages will not be allowed.

1px-trans.gif, 43 bytesThe attractiveness of the estate has not been reduced, in spite of it being in the Noise Abatement Zone II because of the military flying.   The flying has been heavily reduced with the departure of the Fighter-Bomber Wing No. 38 in May 2004 and the move of the flying training to Wittmundhafen.   The airfield at Upjever is used only for maintenance and dismantling Luftwaffe aircraft.   Upjever acts as a diversion airfield for Wittmundhafen and therefore needs more firemen and air traffic controllers.   In addition, the German Air Force Regiment Battalion has been increased in size to a Regiment so the numbers of personnel on the base has not fallen significantly in spite of the departure of the 38th Fighter-Bomber Wing.
