Flak-Kaserne Mainz, Military architectural complex in Mainz, Germany.
The Flak-Kaserne features an H-shaped building arrangement with prominent sandstone elements and large windows throughout the northern facade.
Built between 1938 and 1940 for Wehrmacht purposes, the complex sustained damage during air raids and transformed into Johannes Gutenberg University in 1946.
The structure represents a combination of neoclassical architecture with regional design elements, reflecting the military construction standards of 1930s Germany.
Located at the southwestern end of Mainz Oberstadt next to the main cemetery, the complex maintains its original guard building at Saarstrasse corner.
German prisoners of war and future students completed the four-month conversion of this military barracks into university facilities in 1946.
