Rainerkaserne, Military barracks in Elsbethen, Austria

The Rainerkaserne complex features buildings arranged around a central drill ground, with marble portals and a dedicated sports field to the south.

Constructed between 1938 and 1940, the facility served as Camp Truscott under United States Forces control from 1945 until its transfer to Austrian Armed Forces in 1955.

The buildings incorporate traditional Alpine architectural elements including wooden balconies, characteristic shutters, and boundary walls reflecting regional mountain construction methods.

Red Bull purchased the 17.8-hectare property in 2012 for 23.5 million euros to develop their corporate headquarters while preserving protected historical structures.

The facility remains the sole military installation constructed during the 1938-1940 period that maintains its original architectural configuration in Austria.
