Karwendel-Kaserne

Karwendel-Kaserne is a military installation in Mittenwald consisting of multiple buildings with characteristic 1930s architectural style. The complex includes barracks, administrative structures, and training facilities designed to support mountain infantry operations.

Construction began in 1937 as part of German military expansion before World War II. The location in the Bavarian Alps made it suitable for stationing specialized mountain units.

The barracks houses the Gebirgsjägerbataillon 233, a specialized mountain infantry unit that maintains German military traditions in Alpine warfare.

This is an active military facility not open to the public without special permission. Contact official military channels in advance if you wish to arrange a visit or learn more about the site.
