Ebkeriege-Kaserne, Military barracks in Wilhelmshaven, Germany
The Ebkeriege-Kaserne is a military facility in Wilhelmshaven that contains maintenance halls, training areas, and residential buildings for naval sailors. The compound is located in the southwestern part of the city and serves as a support base for the ships and crews operating from the harbor.
The barracks opened in 1959 as a home base for sailors of the newly formed Federal Navy. Over the decades it became an important site within Germany's naval infrastructure.
The Naval Music Corps North Sea performed at the barracks until March 2014, when it was replaced by the Naval Music Corps Wilhelmshaven in 2019.
The barracks is an active military facility and not open to the public. Visitors can view the compound from outside if passing through the southwestern neighborhoods.
The barracks were originally scheduled to close in 2016 but instead received extensive renovations. This investment reflects its continued importance to Germany's naval operations.
