General-von-Seidel-Kaserne, Military barracks in Trier-West/Euren district, Germany.

The General-von-Seidel-Kaserne spans across a substantial area between Luxemburger Strasse and Gottbillstrasse, featuring multiple buildings constructed in military architectural style.

Built in 1952, the facility served as NATO's 4th Allied Tactical Air Force headquarters until 1959, when operations moved to Ramstein near Kaiserslautern.

The barracks, named after Luftwaffe General Hans-Georg von Seidel, represents the post-war military presence and reconstruction period in Western Germany.

Following its closure in 2012, the site underwent transformation plans, with 27 buildings scheduled for demolition while preserving 5 structures for future development.

Between 2014 and 2015, the former military facility temporarily housed 800 asylum seekers, including some in tent accommodations due to space limitations.
