Summary from Deutsch / German Wikipedia (dewiki)

Die Lee Barracks waren eine Kaserne in Mainz. Sie war benannt nach Captain Robert E. Lee, der als 1st Lieutenant einen besonders mutigen Einsatz am 17. November 1944 geleistet hatte (General Order 11. Oktober 1956), auch wenn häufig davon ausgegangen wurde, dass sie nach dem erfolgreichsten General des konföderierten Heeres Robert Edward Lee benannt war (was politisch im Übrigen völlig inkorrekt gewesen wäre). Auf der Liegenschaft befinden sich heute große Teile des Stadtteils Mainz-Gonsenheim.

Today, large parts of the Mainz-Gonsenheim district are located on the property.
