Sixt-von-Armin-Kaserne, Former military barracks in Wetzlar, Germany

Sixt-von-Armin-Kaserne is a former barracks in western Wetzlar, below Kalsmunt Castle. Two barracks complexes, Areas A and B, were built between 1935 and 1936. The surviving staff building is a listed monument, and the grounds now form the Westend quarter of the Silhöfer Aue district.

Construction began in 1935 during German military expansion, housing the Machine Gun Battalion 2 and Communication Division 9 from March 1936 onward. After the war, it sheltered refugees and displaced persons from 1945 to 1947 before transitioning to US military control.

The barracks was named in 1964 after Friedrich Sixt von Armin, an infantry general and honorary citizen of Wetzlar. The preserved Stabsgebäude is listed as a Baudenkmal, and the grounds now form the "Westend" quarter of the Silhöfer Aue/Westend district.

The site has been redeveloped as part of the modern Westend Quarter following its military decommissioning. Visitors should know that the area is integrated into existing residential neighborhoods and exploration should be respectful of current use.

The preserved Stabsgebäude is a listed monument, but the wider site became the "Westend" quarter after the Bundeswehr left in 1993. At its peak, Wetzlar's two barracks together employed over 4,500 military and 800 civilian staff, making the city Hesse's largest garrison town.
