Oberfeldwebel-Schreiber-Kaserne, Military barracks in Immendingen, Germany.
Oberfeldwebel-Schreiber-Kaserne is a former military barracks in Immendingen, Baden-Württemberg, built on a hill called Talmannsberg on the edge of town. The grounds hold several buildings that were used for soldier housing, administrative work, and training, all enclosed within a secured perimeter.
The barracks were built in 1958, and in 1967 they were named after Josef Schreiber, a soldier who served from 1919 to 1945. Military use ended in 2016, when the site was handed over to Daimler AG, which converted it into a vehicle testing facility.
In the 1990s, the barracks housed both German and French military units side by side, making it one of the few places in Germany where soldiers from two nations shared the same grounds. This joint presence was part of the Franco-German Brigade, a symbol of postwar cooperation between the two countries.
The site is closed to the public, as it now operates as a private vehicle testing center for Daimler. Those curious about its past can visit the memorial stone near the Upper Castle in Immendingen, which is accessible on foot from the town center.
Although the grounds are now used for car testing, the original building layout from the 1950s is still largely intact, which is unusual for a former military site repurposed by a private company. The perimeter and several structures from the early years of the barracks remain visible from outside.
