Flakkaserne Buckesfeld, Military barracks in Lüdenscheid, Germany
The Flakkaserne Buckesfeld complex extends across 50 hectares, containing multiple military buildings, training grounds, and support facilities at its location in Lüdenscheid.
Built in 1935 following an agreement between Lüdenscheid and the Reich Ministry of Aviation, the barracks served German forces before Belgian troops occupied it after World War II.
The presence of Belgian forces at La-Lys-Kaserne from 1945 to 1994 fostered connections between German residents and Belgian military personnel through social activities.
The former military complex included an outdoor pool, gymnasium, drill hall, weapons workshop, watchtower, and sports fields for stationed personnel.
The guard building, known locally as 'Knast,' now functions as a youth center managed by the Workers' Welfare Association under heritage protection status.
