The Lee Barracks were military barracks in Mainz, Germany. It was named after United States Army Captain Robert Elward Lee (1920–1945), who as a first lieutenant had performed a particularly courageous mission on November 17, 1944 (General Order October 11, 1956) during World War II. It was often mistakenly assumed that the barracks was named after the 19th century general of the Army of Northern Virginia Robert Edward Lee. Today, large parts of the Mainz-Gonsenheim district are located on the property.

  • 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. (de)
  • La Caserne Mangin, ou Caserne Kathen ou encore Baraquements Lee est une ancienne caserne de Mayence, dont la surface correspond à une grande partie du quartier de Gonsenheim. (fr)

Today, large parts of the Mainz-Gonsenheim district are located on the property. Robert Elward Lee, a former football player at the University of Arizona was in the 67th Armored Regiment in 1944 fighting on the French-Belgian border in the area that was developing as Hitler's last offensive which became known as the Battle of the Bulge. He received a Distinguished Service Cross, which read: "First Lieutenant (Armor) Robert E. Lee, United States Army, was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross (Posthumously) for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy while serving with the 67th Armored Regiment, in action against enemy forces on 17 November 1944. First Lieutenant Lee's intrepid actions, personal bravery and zealous devotion to duty at the cost of his life, exemplify the highest traditions of the military forces of the United States and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army." He survived this encounter, but was killed in action around the third of January 1945 near Manhay Belgium, having been promoted to captain. (en)
