Mackensen-Kaserne, Military barracks in Rintheim, Karlsruhe, Germany.

The Mackensen-Kaserne complex contains multiple buildings including four troop accommodations, a headquarters building, and an officers' casino spread across the grounds.

Built between 1936 and 1938 for Wehrmacht anti-tank troops, the barracks later served as Phillips Barracks under United States Army control from 1946 to 1963.

The facility holds protected status as a cultural heritage monument under German law, preserving its architectural and historical characteristics for future generations.

The barracks currently accommodate multiple functions, including Bundeswehr operations, university facilities for the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, and social welfare offices.

A former vehicle maintenance hall within the complex has been transformed into the KIT Campus Ost, marking an evolution from military to educational purposes.
