Augusta-Kaserne

The Augusta-Kaserne is a military complex in Koblenz with multiple buildings arranged according to 1930s military architectural standards. The facility displays building styles and layouts designed to accommodate the needs of different military units.

The complex was built in 1936 and named after an Empress in 1938, initially serving as a barracks for Wehrmacht forces. After 1957 it was integrated into the Bundeswehr and has since housed various civilian and military agencies.

The grounds have been named after an Empress since 1957, an unusual choice for a military facility of that era. Visitors can observe buildings arranged in ways that reflected military hierarchy and daily routines through their architectural planning.

The complex is located in northern Koblenz and is partially open to the public, though some areas are reserved for government offices. It helps to check in advance which sections are accessible, as permissions and hours may vary.

The grounds became the first Bundeswehr barracks in Germany to be named after a woman in 1957. This naming choice was an unusual and notable decision for a military facility at that time.
