Prinz-Eugen-Kaserne, Military barracks turned residential area in Bogenhausen district, Munich, Germany.
Prinz-Eugen-Kaserne is a residential neighborhood in Bogenhausen, Munich, built on the grounds of a former military barracks. The housing blocks were built to ecological standards, and many of the old trees from the military period still stand between the buildings.
The site was built in 1938 as the Lohengrin-Kaserne for the Luftwaffe. After the war, the U.S. Army took it over, followed by the Bundeswehr, before the whole area was gradually converted into housing.
The name refers to Prince Eugene of Savoy, a celebrated military commander of the early 18th century. Families and neighbors today share the green courtyards and open paths as part of their daily routine.
The neighborhood is close to a tram stop and connects easily to Munich's public transport network. The wide paths between the buildings are open to walk through at any time, with no entry requirement.
The site holds one of Germany's largest clusters of wooden residential buildings, spread across eight separate construction plots. These wood structures were not built as a showcase but simply as a regular part of the neighborhood's housing development.
