Major-Radloff-Kaserne, Military barracks in Weiden in der Oberpfalz, Germany.
Major-Radloff-Kaserne is a military installation in Weiden in der Oberpfalz featuring multiple training grounds, accommodation buildings, and administrative structures spread across a large compound. The facility houses the Artilleriebataillon 131 and various support and medical units.
The installation was built in 1935 as Ostmark-Kaserne and went through several name changes during its history. It received its current name in 2022 as a tribute to Major Jörn Radloff.
The barracks connects with the town through regular military ceremonies and public events where you can experience German military traditions. These occasions give visitors insight into the values and practices of the armed forces.
The barracks are located in an area easily accessible from the town, though access is typically restricted since it is an active military compound. Visitors should check in advance which areas are open to the public or what events allow attendance.
The facility has a firing range located roughly three kilometers to the northwest and an ammunition depot roughly two kilometers to the southwest of the main grounds. This strategic arrangement was typical of military infrastructure from that era.
