Mudra-Kaserne, Military barracks in Mainz-Kastel, Wiesbaden, Germany
Mudra-Kaserne is a military barracks in the Mainz-Kastel district and comprises several buildings in early 20th-century military architectural style. The complex includes various structures typical of barracks layouts from that period.
The barracks were built in 1908 and originally occupied by a Prussian pioneer battalion. After the First World War, they were taken over by French forces and given a new name.
The site is named after a Prussian military officer and reflects Wiesbaden's military heritage. The layout and building arrangements still show the conventions of early military barracks design.
The site is located in an area well served by public transportation. Access may be limited since the facility is currently used by the police.
After the Second World War, the site served as emergency shelter for refugees and displaced people from destroyed cities. This temporary use was an important part of the region's postwar history.
