Mangfall-Kaserne, Military intelligence facility in Bad Aibling, Germany.
Mangfall-Kaserne is a military installation in Bad Aibling with multiple buildings and specialized structures. The most distinctive features are large white domes that house satellite communication equipment and dominate the compound.
The installation was founded in 1978 to house personnel from Luftwaffe air defense battalions. It emerged from the need to create infrastructure for modern communications monitoring across the Federal Republic.
The facility represents a transformation in German military infrastructure, shifting from traditional defense operations to modern intelligence gathering capabilities.
The grounds are not open to the public and operate under strict security measures. Visitors can view the white domes from the road, but should maintain distance and avoid entering the facility.
The large white domes are not simply decorative but radomes that protect sensitive satellite antennas from weather and electromagnetic interference. This design allows the facility to continuously track and analyze signals over vast distances.
