Riemann-Kaserne, Military barracks in Düren, Germany

The Riemann-Kaserne consisted of infantry and artillery sections with multiple buildings including staff houses, troop quarters, and family accommodations.

Built in 1913 on Königgrätzer Street, the barracks complex was officially inaugurated on July 29, 1914, and later renamed in 1938 after Julius Riemann.

The transformation from military installation to civilian use included housing the Südschule school and St. Michael kindergarten after World War II.

The location at coordinates 50.794285N, 6.501539E provided strategic access to major transportation networks in the Rhineland region.

During the devastating bombing of Düren on November 16, 1944, only one block of Riemann-Kaserne sustained damage while nearby structures were destroyed.

GPS coordinates: 50.79429,6.50154
