Rote Kaserne, Former military barracks in Aachen, Germany.
The Rote Kaserne stood as a large military structure built from red clinker bricks, featuring a functional design for housing troops and administrative offices.
Constructed in 1890, the building initially housed the II Battalion of the 5th Westphalian Infantry Regiment No. 53 before transforming into a customs office in 1934.
The Kronprinzenstraße, where Rote Kaserne was located, received its name from the Crown Prince who commanded the regiment stationed at the barracks.
The structure served multiple functions throughout its existence, from military quarters to a customs office, until its demolition in 1974.
During the November Revolution of 1918, local Workers' and Soldiers' Councils took control of the barracks, forcing the occupation forces to leave.
