Landstuhl Regional Medical Center (originally known as the Landstuhl Army Medical Center) was established on October 15, 1951. Completion of the 1,000-bed Army General Hospital building occurred on April 7, 1953. In 1980, soldiers who were injured in Operation Eagle Claw were brought to the hospital. During the 1990s, U.S. Army Europe underwent a major reorganization, and U.S. hospitals in Frankfurt, Berlin, Nuremberg, and other bases were gradually closed down, or were downsized to clinics. In 1993, a group of 288 U.S. Air Force Medical Service personnel augmented the hospital. By 2013, it was the only American military hospital left in Europe.
LRMC is one of the top hospitals for organ donations in its region in Europe. Roughly half of the American military personnel who died at the hospital from combat injuries from 2005 through 2010 were organ donors. That was the first year the hospital allowed organs to be donated by military personnel who died there from wounds suffered in Iraq or Afghanistan. From 2005 to 2010, 34 donated a total of 142 organs, according to the organization German Organ Transplantation Foundation (Deutsche Stiftung Organtransplantation).
