Hiller-Kaserne, Military barracks in Ebelsberg district, Linz, Austria

Hiller Barracks is a military complex in the Ebelsberg district of Linz featuring eleven protected buildings erected between 1940 and 1943. The substantial site contains numerous structures arranged across a large area in the southern part of the city.

Construction of the barracks began in 1940 and lasted until 1943, on a site of 162,989 m² planned for about 6,000 men; it was named after Feldmarschallleutnant Johann von Hiller. From spring 1942 the Volksdeutsche Mittelstelle rented the first four completed troop buildings from the SS to house Bukovina Germans, with infrastructure run by the National Socialist People's Welfare organisation. Eleven former troop buildings are protected monuments; from 2024 nine are being converted into flats and two are reserved for commercial and social uses.

The site is named after Johann von Hiller, an Austrian field marshal lieutenant of the Napoleonic era. From spring 1942 the Volksdeutsche Mittelstelle rented the first four finished barracks buildings from the SS to house Bukovina Germans resettled under Nazi resettlement policy, with the National Socialist People's Welfare responsible for infrastructure. Eleven former troop buildings are protected monuments.

The site lies in Ebelsberg, south of Linz's centre, between Wiener Straße and the Traun slopes near the Panholzerweg. Nine of the eleven protected former troop buildings are being converted into flats from 2024, with first tenants expected from March 2026, so the grounds are a construction site. Access is not arranged for visitors; the layout is best seen from the surrounding public streets.

A private foundation acquired the property in 2016 with plans to transform it into a residential community for thousands of new inhabitants. The conversion preserves the protected historical structures while adapting them for contemporary living.
