General-von-Seidel-Kaserne, Military barracks in Trier-West/Euren district, Germany.
The General-von-Seidel-Kaserne is a military facility in Trier-West that spreads across a large area between Luxemburger Strasse and Gottbillstrasse. The site contains multiple structures built in military architectural style, with plans to preserve several buildings while demolishing others for future development.
The barracks were built in 1952 and initially served as headquarters for NATO's 4th Allied Tactical Air Force. Within a few years, military operations relocated to another location in southwestern Germany.
The barracks take its name from a Luftwaffe general of the post-war period and shapes the landscape of Trier-West. It reflects the role that military installations played in rebuilding Western Germany.
The site is only partially open to the public as it remains under development and transformation. It is best to check current conditions and any special events before visiting.
Between 2014 and 2015, the closed barracks temporarily provided shelter for around 800 asylum seekers during a period of housing shortage in the region. Some residents even lived in tents on the grounds due to limited available buildings.
