Jägerkaserne, Military barracks in Strub, Germany
Jägerkaserne is a military installation in Bischofswiesen with multiple building complexes designed for training and operations. The site includes barracks, training areas, administrative buildings, and support facilities spread across the grounds.
Construction began in September 1937 under architect Bruno Biehler's designs and was first occupied in November 1938 by the II Battalion of Mountain Infantry Regiment 100. The facility evolved from its original purpose into a major Bundeswehr installation.
The installation is named after hunters and shapes the local landscape with its military structures. Visitors notice how the complex integrates into the mountain environment and influences daily life in the area.
Access to the installation is via Gebirgsjägerstraße, and the grounds are organized for military training activities. Visitors should be aware this is an active military facility with restricted access areas.
The installation houses the Bundeswehr Sports Promotion Group supporting German athletes while maintaining its core function as a mountain infantry training center. This dual role makes it an unusual place where elite athletics and military training coexist.
