Andreas Hofer barracks, Military barracks in Absam, Austria

The Andreas-Hofer-Kaserne is a barracks of the Austrian Armed Forces at Jägerstraße 6 in Absam, Tyrol. Its grounds cover 157,381 m², used since 1900 as the Thaurer Mure shooting range; construction of the barracks began in 1940. The Jäger-Kaserne and the Edelweiß-Kaserne built north of it in 1954 were merged in 1967 under the name Andreas-Hofer-Kaserne.

The site served as the Thaurer Mure shooting range from 1900; the Reichsfiskus "Heer" bought the 157,381 m² area in 1939 and began building the barracks in 1940. French occupation forces seized it in 1945, and after looting only ruins remained. A French pioneer unit rebuilt and occupied it in 1952, and in December 1953 it was handed over as the Jäger-Kaserne. The Austrian Armed Forces have been stationed there since 22 September 1955, and in 1967 the Jäger-Kaserne and the northern Edelweiß-Kaserne were merged as the Andreas-Hofer-Kaserne, named after the Tyrolean freedom fighter.

The barracks is named after Andreas Hofer, the Tyrolean leader of the 1809 uprising against Napoleonic forces, following a practice of naming Tyrolean barracks after freedom fighters. The site was a shooting range called Thaurer Mure from 1900 before the Reichsfiskus "Heer" bought the 157,381 m² area in 1939.

The barracks is an active base of the Austrian Armed Forces at Jägerstraße 6 in Absam, not Innsbruck, and the grounds are closed to the public. The site lies in the Tyrol and can be reached from the Absam side; the buildings are visible only from the street. The 6th Jäger Brigade has been stationed here since 1999.

The site was used as the Thaurer Mure shooting range from 1900 before the Reichsfiskus "Heer" bought the 157,381 m² plot in 1939; construction of the barracks began in 1940. In 1945 French occupation forces seized it, and after looting by locals only ruins remained until a French pioneer unit rebuilt and occupied it in 1952.
