Luitpoldkaserne

The Luitpoldkaserne stands as a substantial military complex on Infanteriestrasse 19, featuring multiple buildings constructed in late 19th-century architectural style.

Built in 1896 to house the Bavarian army's air skippers unit, the barracks later served as accommodation for Eastern European refugees after World War II.

The barracks represent a significant example of military architecture preservation in Bavaria, reflecting the region's commitment to maintaining historical structures.

The facility underwent several transformations, including serving as the Army Medical School from 1957 until 1980, before the city of Munich acquired it in 2004.

The complex maintained continuous military use for over 100 years, from its inception as an air skippers barracks through its final role with the Bundeswehr until 1999.
