Most services operated by U.S. Army Garrison Stuttgart will delay opening until 10 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 14, 2025, due to concerns about the impact of inclement weather on road conditions.
➼ Stuttgart Family and MWR fitness centers will be staffed beginning at 8 a.m.
➼ Stuttgart CYS childcare centers and Java Cafés will open at 9 a.m.
➼ All other Family & MWR services will open at 10 a.m. On-post hotels and 24/7 unmanned access to fitness centers are not affected.
➼ Duty Buses will operate according to the regular schedule unless a driver feels road conditions are too hazardous to continue. Riders should anticipate delays in arrival time due to traffic and road impacts.
➼ U.S. Army Health Clinic Stuttgart will open at 9:30 a.m., with the first appointments at 9:40 a.m. Appointments prior to this will be rescheduled.
➼ Commissaries and Exchange-operated facilities will operate with regular hours. Some specific services may be limited depending on staffing availability.
➼ Customers with garrison appointments prior to 10 a.m. should expect to reschedule or walk-in from 10 a.m. Please contact service providers with specific questions.
Personnel with tenant units should consult with their supervisors on reporting times.
Exercise extreme caution when driving or walking, especially in places where snow and ice may accumulate, and particularly on sidewalks and when exiting or entering your vehicle in parking lots. Brick and cobblestone road surfaces, along with bridges and overpasses, accumulate ice more quickly.
If you have concerns about local conditions in your area, engage with your supervisor/chain of command.
Please continue to monitor Facebook, StuttgartCitizen.com, and the on-post road conditions page from IMCOM Directorate-Europe at https://home.army.mil/roads/.
Some activities (such as religious services) do not take place when road conditions are rated RED. Check current road conditions here -- rating and local timestamp are in the column labeled "Status."

Stuttgart’s on-post road condition status is determined by the Military Police and posted online by the Installation Operations Center.
It is the garrison commander's decision to close the installation or delay reporting for non-essential civilians. Essential personnel should have their status noted in their position description. Military personnel remain under the authority of their military chains of command.
Outside of a garrison-ordered delay or closure, if you feel your local conditions are too hazardous for you to report as scheduled, contact your chain of command or supervisor for clarification and mission guidance to account for your duty hours.
Notifications about garrison closures or delayed reporting are provided via phone, email and text messages to personnel registered in the garrison's ALERT! system; on this page (The Stuttgart Citizen); the garrison Facebook page; and through the USAG Stuttgart Mobile App.
Roads/Weather on the USAG Stuttgart app
There's an easy way to check if a weather-related delay or closure is in effect using the "Roads/Weather" button on the USAG Stuttgart mobile app, located on the second page of the main menu.
The button opens this page, which advises whether normal operations are planned or if a delay or cancellation is in effect.
Delayed reporting or closures will also be reflected on the IMCOM-Europe Road Conditions page.
School delays and closures due to inclement weather are made by the garrison commander and not DoDEA. If school is closed or delayed, it will be announced through the ALERT mass notification system, AFN Stuttgart, and on the garrison App and Facebook page.
Please consider your individual situation, keeping the safety of your student in mind. If the school bus is late or doesn't show up at the expected time during inclement weather, it is recommended to not wait longer than 30 minutes. You may want to call the school or DoDEA-E transportation office (0611) 705-337-2251 to check the status if you have not received an ALERT notification. Always comply with child supervision guidelines and do not leave younger children unattended at bus stops.
All student absences during inclement weather are considered on a case by case basis. The school will be notified if your child's bus is running late and in these cases, the child will not be considered tardy.
According to the Housing Office handbook, in snowy weather, residents are responsible for the removal of snow and ice from entrance areas, steps, porches, driveways and sidewalks in the front and rear of their buildings and will clear walkways daily. Snow shovels and sand are available in the on-post Self-Help Stores.
For those living off post, residents are also responsible for snow and ice removal around their property, such as sidewalks and steps. Generally, most German states and cities prohibit the use of salt for icy conditions and prefer abrasive materials, such as sand or “Streugut."
If you get injured after slipping and falling off-post during inclement weather, contact the local German emergency services right away by dialing 112 for the fire department and ambulance or 110 for the Polizei.
