Defensionskaserne, Military barracks in Erfurt, Germany
The Defensionskaserne spans 167 meters in length and features a two-story structure with multiple firing ports along its city-facing facade.
Construction of the Defensionskaserne occurred between 1828 and 1831 as part of Prussia's military expansion of Erfurt's fortification system.
The building exemplifies Prussian classical architecture and received a neo-baroque mansard roof addition during renovations from 1912 to 1913.
The former military complex is undergoing transformation into a campus for creative industries, featuring 10,000 square meters of rental space with modern amenities.
The structure originally accommodated 500 soldiers and contained strategic shooting positions designed to control visibility of the upper plateau.
