History
Established in 1863 during the Austro-Hungarian era, the complex originally served as headquarters for Infantry Regiment Number 59. Over time it has housed various military units and remains an important military installation for the region.
Culture
The barracks are named after a local mountaineer from Bregenz, reflecting the region's deep ties to military service and alpine traditions. This connection remains visible in how the site is organized and maintained.
Practical
The complex is located centrally on Reichsstrasse and is easily accessible by public transport. Access to the grounds is limited since it remains an active military installation.
