Gardeschützenkaserne, Military barracks in Lichterfelde, Germany.

The Gardeschützenkaserne features elaborate brickwork facades, robust structures, and ornate architectural elements spread across an 80,000 square meter complex.

Built between 1893 and 1896, this facility served as quarters for the Prussian Guard Rifle Regiment before becoming a United States military base after World War II.

The building represents late 19th-century German military architecture with its distinct red brick construction and symmetrical layout following Prussian design principles.

The Federal Intelligence Service occupies the premises since 2003, with recent renovations costing 15 million euros to accommodate 1,000 employees.

The barracks expanded during the Nazi period to include specialized artillery training facilities and workshops, increasing its size from 60,000 to 80,000 square meters.
