Feldwebel-Schmid-Kaserne
Feldwebel-Schmid-Kaserne, Military barracks in Rendsburg, Germany
Description
The Feldwebel-Schmid-Kaserne is a former military compound in Rendsburg comprising multiple buildings that served as air defense training facilities until 2010. The site has since been converted into a business district with solar power installations and spaces for various commercial uses.
History
The site was built in 1940 as an air defense barracks and housed Luftwaffe troops during World War II. After British occupation from 1945 to 1956, the facility continued as a military training center focused on air defense operations.
Culture
The barracks' name honors a Wehrmacht officer who risked his life to save many people during World War II. This 2000 naming choice reflects how the site acknowledges both its military past and acts of conscience within that era.
Practical
The site functions as an open business district with modern solar installations that can be explored on foot or by bicycle. The flat terrain and wide streets make it easy to navigate through different sections of the former compound.
Did you know?
From 2015 to 2018, portions of the site served as temporary shelter for people seeking refuge during a major migration wave. This use demonstrated how a former military installation was repurposed for humanitarian assistance during a period of urgent need.
