Konrad-Adenauer-Kaserne, Military barracks in Raderthal, Germany.
Konrad-Adenauer-Kaserne is a military facility in Raderthal with multiple office buildings, a conference center, a helicopter landing pad, a sports hall, and tennis courts. The site houses the Federal Office for Military Counterintelligence Service and operates the Cologne-Raderthal Medical Supply Center.
The barracks were built in the 1960s after the federal government decided to move defense departments to Cologne. It became an important administrative center for military operations and security functions of the Federal Republic.
The facility is named after Konrad Adenauer, the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany and a native of Cologne. The name connects the location to a key figure in post-war German history.
The site is an active military facility with access restrictions, so public tours are generally not permitted. Visitors should inquire in advance about any guided visits or special events that might be available.
The Army Development Office relocated from the barracks in May 2023 after decades at this location, moving to the AXA campus in Cologne-Holweide. This departure marked a significant change in the military presence at the site.
