Sixt-von-Armin-Kaserne, Military barracks in Wetzlar, Germany
The Sixt-von-Armin-Kaserne consists of multiple buildings and structures, including air raid shelters and a heating plant located beneath the Kalsmunt Castle.
The barracks, constructed in 1935 during German military expansion, initially housed Machine Gun Battalion 2 and Communication Division 9 beginning in March 1936.
From 1945 to 1947, the barracks served as accommodation for refugees and displaced persons before becoming the Lloyd Barracks under US military control.
The site underwent transformation after military decommissioning and now forms part of the Westend Quarter in the Silhöfer Aue/Westend district of Wetzlar.
The facility received its name in 1964 after Friedrich Sixt von Armin, an infantry general who held honorary citizenship in Wetzlar.
