Jürgen-Schumann-Kaserne

The Jürgen-Schumann-Kaserne is a military facility in Appen featuring buildings constructed in the 1930s architectural style spread across a large compound. The grounds contain multiple structures typical of military design from that era.

The complex was founded in 1936 as an air force base and underwent several name changes over the decades. In 2021, it received its current name honoring a pilot.

The barracks is named after a Luftwaffe pilot and reflects the importance of military heritage to the region. Visitors can observe the buildings and understand how this site has shaped professional military training.

The grounds can be viewed from the exterior but have limited public access as an active military facility. Contact local tourism information or official sources before visiting to learn about possible tour options.

The grounds display vintage military aircraft including a Lockheed F-104 Starfighter and Hawk launchers from a former aviation museum collection housed at the site. These pieces stand as reminders of the location's aviation heritage.
