Dahme-Spree-Kaserne, Military barracks in Grünau, Germany
Dahme-Spree-Kaserne is a military compound in Grünau containing multiple administrative and residential buildings positioned along Regattastraße. The grounds include various functional areas and a bunker structure concealed beneath a large boulder.
The site was built in 1936 as Olympic Games lodging and later converted for military operations. After World War II, Soviet forces took control and established a military academy there.
The architectural design of the barracks reflects the military construction principles of 1930s Germany, incorporating elements from that period's institutional buildings.
Access to the grounds is limited since it remains an active military facility. Visitors should check in advance which areas permit entry and whether advance registration is needed.
The facility maintains its original 1936 Olympic Games accommodation structures, known as Regattahäuser, which were later adapted for military purposes.
