Kaserne Roter Sand

Kaserne Roter Sand is a four-story military building in Mitte featuring a western facade with Bremen's state coat of arms and five rounded arches at the main entrance. Today it houses multiple functions including accommodations, dining, and meeting spaces.

Built in 1925 according to plans by Chief Building Officer Hans Ohnesorge, the structure originally served as barracks for the Bremen Protection Police. After World War Two, it gradually transitioned to other uses.

The building displays military architecture from the 1920s with its two-story entrance hall and distinctive design elements from that era. Visitors today can see how such military structures were designed and organized during that period.

The site is accessible and the interior is open for visitors wanting to explore its different areas. It makes sense to check in advance whether guided tours or viewings are available.

The building houses a restaurant in the basement and a lounge area with recreational facilities on the ground floor. Six additional rooms are specially equipped for events and conferences.
