Berg-Kaserne, Military barracks in Giessen, Germany

Berg-Kaserne is a former barracks complex on about 10 hectares between Licher Straße and Grünberger Straße on the eastern edge of Giessen's inner city. It was built between 1885 and 1887 as the "Neue Kaserne" on the Kugelberg for the 2nd Hessian Infantry Regiment No. 116, and was extended in 1897 and 1913. Six pointed bunkers were completed on the grounds in 1939; the site was largely destroyed in the Second World War.

Built between 1885 and 1887 as the Neue Kaserne on the Kugelberg for the 2nd Hessian Infantry Regiment No. 116, the barracks was enlarged in 1897 and 1913, raising the garrison from 1,200 to 1,800 soldiers. After 1918 the Versailles Treaty cut the garrison to 450 men of the 15th Reichswehr Infantry Regiment. Under Nazi rule the barracks was expanded in 1935, and six Spitzbunker were completed on the grounds in 1939. It was almost completely destroyed in the Second World War and closed on 28 June 2006.

At the entrance, Carl Bourcarde created a 1938 relief showing a soldier group in martial posture alongside idealized scenes of rural life. It was later placed under monument protection as a historically important document of Blut-und-Boden ideology; its preservation remains disputed.

The site lies between Licher Strasse and Grünberger Strasse on the eastern edge of the inner city. Since 2011 around 100 customs officers have used renovated buildings as offices, and later development plans created space for supermarkets and apartment blocks. Some parts remain in administrative use, so not every area is open to passers-by.
