Burgholzkaserne

The Burgholzkaserne is a military barracks complex on the southeastern edge of Tübingen that covers a large area. The site contains multiple buildings and is accessed from Reutlinger Street.

The complex was built in 1935 as a military base and renamed after Hindenburg in 1938. French troops used the site from 1945 until 1991 after the Second World War.

The site is now called the French Quarter and houses the Hibuka Student Village, where students live. The layout and building styles shape daily life in the neighborhood and give it a distinctive character.

The complex divides into two sections: the western Quartier Désazars de Montgailhard and the eastern Quartier de Maud'huy, each serving different purposes. Both areas can be explored on foot as they are connected by pathways.

The eastern area sustained damage from air raids in 1944, with bomb craters still visible near present-day Mistralweg. These marks from bombardment remain as physical traces embedded in the landscape today.
