The entrance gate of the US Army Hospital Berlin displays the representative access to the American military medical facility in the West Berlin sector, presumably in the Steglitz district. A curved sign reading “US ARMY HOSPITAL BERLIN” spans the wrought-iron gate between two brick pillars adorned with Red Cross emblems. A uniformed US soldier stands at the entrance, and a military vehicle passes the street in the foreground. The photograph documents the extensive military infrastructure that the US forces maintained in West Berlin in 1955 — far beyond combat units alone. As part of the Allied presence in the divided city, the military hospital exemplified the permanent establishment of the US garrison under Berlin’s Four-Power status.
