Rote Kaserne, Military barracks in Nauener Vorstadt, Potsdam, Germany

The Rote Kaserne complex spans 6700 square meters and features two-story stables and auxiliary buildings constructed with red clinker bricks.

Built between 1892 and 1895 for the Prussian Army's 2nd and 4th Guard Field Artillery Regiment, the barracks later housed Soviet forces until 1993.

The clothing chamber building displays a large sandstone sculpture by Georg Friedrich von Boumann, depicting riders with artillery and weapons.

The former military complex has been transformed into residential units, nursing care facilities, and senior care services between 2007 and 2009.

The central parade ground maintains traces of a Soviet wall fresco featuring a star and the inscription 'Pobeda', meaning victory in Russian.
