Former barracks in Prudnik

Former barracks in Prudnik, Former military barracks in Prudnik, Poland.

The former barracks in Prudnik occupy a block bounded by Grunwaldzka, Strzelecka and Dąbrowskiego streets and the cemetery. The complex was built in 1901–1903 and expanded toward Grunwaldzka in 1912 with a staff building, two soldiers' buildings, a residential building for officers and a drill hall.

The city of Prudnik financed the barracks on Dąbrowskiego Street, built 1901–1903 for the 57th Field Artillery Regiment. In 1912 the site was extended toward Grunwaldzka Street for the 23rd Infantry Regiment, but the 1914 transfer was cut short by the First World War. After 1945 Polish units took over, and the garrison was disbanded on 10 May 1994.

The barracks appear in Harry Thürk's novel Summer of the Dead Dreams, set in Prudnik just after World War II. One scene takes place here, where a Polish soldier drinks with a Soviet soldier and they begin to quarrel; another character is made by the Russians to paint red stars on coffins of Red Army dead.

The barracks occupy the block between Grunwaldzka, Strzelecka and Dąbrowskiego streets, next to the cemetery. The garrison was disbanded on 10 May 1994, so the buildings now serve other purposes and are not open as a military site. A memorial plaque stands before the former entrance gate on Dąbrowskiego Street, unveiled on 19 May 2007.
