Deutschorden-Kaserne, Military barracks in Bad Mergentheim, Germany
Deutschorden-Kaserne is a military complex situated on the Drillberg plateau, approximately two kilometers west of Bad Mergentheim along Landesstraße 2248. The site comprises multiple buildings spread across a substantial area.
The site was built between 1957 and 1964 to house Panzerbrigade 36 and multiple supply battalions of the Bundeswehr. It operated as a military installation until 1993, when operations ceased and the Würth Group later acquired the property.
The name reflects Bad Mergentheim's role as the historic seat of the Teutonic Order's leadership. This connection remains central to how the town sees itself today.
The location is set apart from the town center and is best reached by car via Landesstraße 2248. Visitors should know that the site now functions as an industrial headquarters and logistics center, with limited public access to most areas.
The site features a permanent exhibition exploring leadership culture across different historical periods, available to visitors through a digital application. This modern approach connects the location's military past with contemporary leadership principles.
