Reichspräsident-Ebert-Kaserne, Military barracks and cultural heritage monument in Iserbrook, Hamburg, Germany.
The Reichspräsident-Ebert-Kaserne is a military installation in the Iserbrook district with a gatehouse, troop quarters, officers' residences, administration buildings, and technical halls. The structures spread across multiple areas and form a connected complex with distinct functional zones.
The facility was built between 1935 and 1937 as an anti-aircraft defense site and witnessed several major transitions of the 20th century. After World War II, it served the British armed forces before returning to German control.
The barracks was named in 1965 after Friedrich Ebert, the first president of the Weimar Republic, reflecting its political significance. The name reminds visitors of an important figure in German history.
The complex now houses the Federal Armed Forces Technical School and Hamburg State Command, along with 32 residential units sharing sanitary facilities. Visitors should note that this is an active military installation and access may be restricted.
The buildings preserve their original architectural elements and decorative features from the 1930s, which led to their protection under Hamburg's heritage conservation law. This preservation allows visitors to observe authentic details from that era.
