Kaserne Tauentzienstraße, Military barracks in Jüterbog, Germany.
Kaserne Tauentzienstraße is a military barracks complex in Jüterbog containing multiple brick buildings for troop housing, administrative offices, horse stables, and utility structures spread across the site. A water tower standing north of Bülowstraße and built between 1893 and 1902 is part of the overall facility.
The site began in 1890 as an artillery school for the Prussian Army and continued serving military purposes through the Reichswehr and Wehrmacht eras until 1945. Soviet forces then occupied the facility from 1945 to 1994, after which it became available for architectural study and preservation.
The buildings display late 19th-century military architecture with brick facades and orderly layouts that reflect how the site was designed to function. The structured arrangement of administrative and residential structures shows how space was organized for military operations.
The site is located on former military grounds, so it is important to check current access rules and conditions before visiting. The buildings and water tower are visible from outside, though not all areas may be open to the public.
The water tower was built between 1893 and 1902 and shows interesting engineering approaches to water supply from that period. Standing north of Bülowstraße, it serves as a notable landmark within the complex.
