Ernst-von-Bergmann-Kaserne, Military barracks in Milbertshofen-Am Hart, Germany
Ernst-von-Bergmann-Kaserne is a military barracks complex in Munich with multiple buildings designed by architects Oswald Bieber and Theo Lechner. The compound spreads across a large area and was built with functional layout for housing and training purposes.
The barracks was constructed between 1934 and 1936 with characteristic prewar architecture. After World War II it served as housing for United Nations refugees before later coming under Bundeswehr command.
The chapel on the third floor maintains military worship traditions and displays a reproduction of The Stalingrad Madonna artwork. It reflects the spiritual dimension of this place and shows how religious practice continues here.
The compound can be viewed from outside and has areas open to the public, though some sections remain active military zones. Visitors should stick to designated public areas and maintain respectful distance from operational buildings.
During occupation the compound became known as Warner Kaserne and was the second-largest military installation after the Pentagon between 1950 and 1968. This status made it one of the most important Western military facilities during the Cold War.
