Pommern-Kaserne Wolfhagen, Military barracks in Wolfhagen, Germany
Pommern-Kaserne is a former military complex located south of Federal Highway 450 in Wolfhagen, Germany. The grounds include buildings that originally served as barracks, storage, and supply facilities.
The site was built in the late 1930s, first as an air force ammunition depot. During World War II, forced laborers worked there under military oversight.
The site served as a significant employer and meeting point for local residents over many decades. Its presence shaped community ties and economic relationships throughout the region.
The site has been a civilian business area since 2008 and now hosts vocational training centers, manufacturing operations, and a truck driving school. A visit is best made during the day when the businesses are open.
During the Cold War, the base sat relatively close to the inner-German border, which shaped its role within the western military network. After closing, it became one of the few former military sites in the region to be fully converted into a training and business zone.
