Garde Dragoner Kaserne, Military barracks in Kreuzberg, Germany.

The Garde Dragoner Kaserne spans 188 meters along Mehringdamm street, featuring three stories with gray cement plaster and medieval-style turret extensions.

Built between 1850 and 1854, the complex housed the 1st Battalion of the 8th Infantry Regiment, with rooms accommodating ten soldiers each.

The barracks transformed from a military facility to a tax office in 1923, with a memorial plaque commemorating the November Revolution events.

Located at Mehringdamm 20-28, the building contains multiple courtyards and connects to several cycling paths in the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district.

During World War II, the area behind the main building operated as an armaments production center with forced labor camps for workers from various European countries.
