Prinz-Eugen-Kaserne, Military barracks turned residential area in Bogenhausen district, Munich, Germany.
Prinz-Eugen-Kaserne is a residential neighborhood in Bogenhausen featuring apartment buildings constructed with ecological standards. The area preserves mature trees throughout and includes kindergartens, a primary school, and community centers for daily use.
The site was built in 1938 as Lohengrin-Kaserne for the Luftwaffe military branch. After World War II, the U.S. Army occupied it, and by 1956 it became a Bundeswehr training facility before its conversion to residential housing.
The name honors Prince Eugene of Savoy, an 18th-century military commander. Today, residents use the green spaces and buildings as an everyday neighborhood where families and different generations live together.
The site connects well to Munich's public transportation with a nearby tram stop. Visitors can walk freely through the area on wide, pedestrian-friendly pathways that weave between buildings and green spaces.
The area houses one of Germany's largest wooden building complexes with eight separate construction projects. These sustainable wood structures showcase modern ecological urban development and attract architecture enthusiasts.
