With its massive scale and diverse range of responsibilities and functions, Ramstein Air Base, home to the US Air Force's Europe headquarters, is one of America's most important overseas military facilities. 

But just outside of the air base's gates lies the small German collective municipality of Ramstein-Miesenbach, which was formed from the junction of the two eponymous towns. The town's population of 20,000 roughly equals the number of people who work on Ramstein Air Base daily.

Its proximity to such a large concentration of American and NATO military personnel means the town has a uniquely international feel to it — even though it manages to keep its own unique character. 

Wandering through the residential districts of Ramstein, the town seems like a thoroughly German country village.



The houses are charming and well maintained, and the nearby air base is completely hidden from view.



Within the center of the town is a quaint shopping street with a variety of restaurants and a few pubs.
