Berg-Kaserne, Military barracks in Giessen, Germany
The Berg-Kaserne extends over 10 hectares on the eastern edge of Giessen, featuring multiple buildings constructed in traditional military architectural style.
Established in 1885, the barracks initially housed the 2nd Hessian Infantry Regiment No. 116 and expanded in 1897 to accommodate a machine gun company.
The facility includes a 1938 soldier group relief by artist Carl Bourcarde, depicting rural life scenes that represent the artistic elements of military installations.
Following renovations completed in 2011, sections of the former military complex now serve as a customs office, adapting to modern administrative needs.
The original iron fencing at the main gate contains text commemorating the 1887-1918 period when the Infantry Regiment Kaiser Wilhelm No. 116 occupied the barracks.
