Werratal-Kaserne Bad Salzungen, Military barracks in Bad Salzungen, Germany.
The Werratal-Kaserne is a military facility on the southern side of Bad Salzungen covering a large area. The site stretches along the B62 road and contains training grounds, shooting ranges, and infrastructure for various military units.
The barracks were established in 1972 as a military facility and initially housed mechanized infantry and other units. Following German reunification in 1990, it received its current name after being previously known as Anton-Saefkow-Kaserne.
The name references the Werra Valley, the river valley that defines this region. Visitors can see how the local landscape and waterway have shaped the character of the place.
The site sits south of the city and is easily visible and accessible from the B62 road. Visitors should note this is an active military facility and access may be restricted depending on security protocols.
The barracks serve today as headquarters for elements of an armored infantry brigade and conduct regular NATO exercises. This keeps it an important location for military cooperation in Europe.
