Lent-Kaserne, Military barracks in Rotenburg an der Wümme, Germany
Von-Düring-Kaserne is a military installation northwest of Rotenburg an der Wümme with multiple buildings for administration, training, and accommodation. The facility includes various functional areas that support daily military operations and personnel activities.
The facility was established in 1936 as a Luftwaffe supply depot with an attached airfield and served various purposes during World War II. After occupation by British forces in 1945, the installation became part of postwar military infrastructure.
The barracks underwent a name change in 2020 from Lent-Kaserne to Von-Düring-Kaserne, reflecting Germany's commitment to maintaining appropriate military traditions and values.
The site is generally not open to public access as it remains an active military facility. Those interested in the area can observe the surroundings and the landscape northwest of the city from outside the perimeter.
The facility has roots as an airfield with specialized structures like hangars and maintenance halls that remain visible in the grounds today. These remnants recall the era when the site operated as an aviation hub.
