Prinz Karl barracks

Prinz Karl barracks is a military complex in Augsburg-Hochfeld consisting of several buildings with red brick facades and regularly spaced windows. The compound extends along Schertlinstraße with building numbers 19 to 25 and forms a connected complex with a rectangular layout.

The barracks were established in 1882 and named after Bavarian Prince Karl Theodor during a period of military expansion. The site was part of efforts to expand German military infrastructure in the southern regions.

The barracks display typical features of late 19th-century German military architecture with their red brick facades and symmetrical structures. This building style reflects how military complexes were organized and designed during that historical period.

The complex is located in the Hochfeld district along Schertlinstraße and is accessible by public transportation. Since the site is protected as a historical monument, the buildings are visible from outside, but visitors should respect designated public areas and privacy boundaries.

The barracks are no longer active as a military base today and the buildings now serve various other purposes. Despite this change in use, the complex maintains its original military character in its layout and architectural style.
