Ruhrlandkaserne, Former military barracks in Kupferdreh, Germany.

Ruhrlandkaserne was a military barracks on the Phönixberg plateau in Essen-Kupferdreh, built from February 1937 and inaugurated on 20 March 1938 as a Luftwaffe anti-aircraft protection centre. The 169,679 m² site held several building complexes for different military functions. It was completely demolished between 1995 and 1999 and replaced by the Dilldorfer Höhe housing estate.

In February 1936 the Reich Aviation Ministry ordered a flak protection centre at Kupferdreh; construction began in February 1937 and the barracks opened on 20 March 1938. British troops occupied it from 1945 until 7 August 1957, and in spring 1958 Flugabwehrbataillon 41 of the Bundeswehr Luftwaffe moved in. It was renamed Ruhrland-Kaserne in 1964 and closed on 30 June 1994.

The name Ruhrland-Kaserne, adopted in 1964, ties the barracks to the Ruhr region. The housing estate built on the site was named Dilldorfer Höhe after a public naming competition run by Allbau AG, the city planning office and the Bürgerschaft Kupferdreh association, although the settlement lies in the Hinsbeck district, not Dilldorf. A memorial plaque on the Dilldorfer Höhe, placed on 7 May 2006, recounts the barracks' history as part of the Essener Denkmalpfade project.

The barracks was demolished between 1995 and 1999 and replaced by the Dilldorfer Höhe housing estate, so there is no military ground left to walk. A memorial plaque on the Dilldorfer Höhe, part of the Essener Denkmalpfade project, was installed by the Bürgerschaft Kupferdreh on 7 May 2006 and marks the former site.

After its military years ended, the vast property was taken over by Allbau in 1995 and transformed into a residential area called Dilldorfer Höhe. This conversion demonstrates how a military site can be completely reimagined for civilian living.
