Lützow-Kaserne, Military barracks in Aachen, Germany
Lützow-Kaserne is a military facility on Trierer Straße in the Krummerück district of Aachen, made up of several buildings used for training and accommodation. Today it houses a technical school of the German armed forces focused on specialist military education and logistics.
The facility was built in 1939 and first used by Infantry Regiment 78. After World War II, Belgian forces took control of the site before it returned to German military use.
The barracks take their name from Ludwig Adolf Wilhelm von Lützow, a Prussian major who led a volunteer corps in the early 19th century. This connection is visible at the entrance, where a memorial stone marks the link to that chapter of military history.
The complex is visible from Trierer Straße but, as an active military facility, most of the site is not open to the public. Visitors should respect any barriers or signs and avoid entering restricted areas.
A blood beech tree planted to honor the Lützow volunteer corps of 1813 still stands at the entrance. Trees planted as living memorials from that era are now very rarely found in their original location, making this one a notable survivor.
