Meidlinger Trainkaserne, Military barracks in Meidling, Austria.

The Meidlinger Trainkaserne consists of two main building groups: a command building on Ruckergasse and accommodation structures with stables and storage facilities.

Built between 1904 and 1906, the barracks were designed by architect Wenzel König to house 600 soldiers, 400 horses, and 1175 wagons.

The eastern section served the Landesgendarmeriekommando Niederösterreich while the western part, renamed Heckenast-Burian-Kaserne, honored officers killed during Nazi resistance.

Located near Wien Meidling station, the facility now houses multiple security departments, including the Federal Bureau for Corruption Prevention and municipal police command.

The construction of these barracks led to the removal of the last remaining vineyard in Vienna-Meidling during the early 20th century.
