Ritter-von-Leeb-Kaserne, Former military barracks in Landsberg am Lech, Germany.
The Ritter-von-Leeb-Kaserne was a military complex in Landsberg am Lech designed to house and operate a garrison. The site contained residential, administrative, and training facilities spread across the property for many years.
The barracks was founded in 1957 as a base for the Mountain Artillery Regiment 8 and United States Army units. It closed in 1992 and was later converted into a residential area.
The barracks gained media attention in 1982 when it became the filming location for the ZDF television series 'Beim Bund', which depicted daily military life.
The site is not accessible as a military facility today since the land has been converted to residential use. Visitors can explore the area as a regular neighborhood and see how the urban transformation took place.
The barracks was named after Generalfeldmarschall Wilhelm Ritter von Leeb, who was born in Landsberg am Lech and commanded Army Group North during World War II. This connection to local history gives the name regional significance for the town.
