Henning-von-Tresckow-Kaserne, Military barracks in Geltow, Germany
Henning-von-Tresckow-Kaserne is a military complex in Geltow that extends in a north-south direction with substantial forest coverage across its grounds. The facility includes buildings, infrastructure for military operations, and training areas for personnel.
The barracks were designed by architect Ernst Sagebiel in the 1930s and served as headquarters for various military commands over several decades. The site survived World War II and continued military use after Germany's division.
The facility is named after a German officer who resisted the Nazi regime and was executed for his actions. Visitors encounter here the legacy of an important historical figure whose memory is preserved through the barracks' designation.
The grounds are not open to the public as this remains an active military facility with security restrictions in place. Those interested from outside can view the property from surrounding roads or research its historical background.
Concrete bunkers from World War II remain on the grounds, documenting the military architecture of that era. Additionally, the Forest of Remembrance was established in 2014 as a memorial area for German soldiers lost during international deployments.
