Location of the Alb barracks in Baden-Württemberg |
|||
The Alb barracks is the younger of the two barracks of the Armed Forces at the location Stetten in the district of Sigmaringen in Baden-Wuerttemberg on the Swabian Alb south of the military training area Heuberg . The second barracks, the Heuberg camp , is much older and can look back on an eventful history.
The two properties at the Stetten am kalten Markt location - Alb barracks and Heuberg camp - are located northwest of the town and cover an area of 141.8 hectares (as of May 2007). Immediately in front of the Alb barracks there is an on-site exercise area with an area of 89 hectares.
The site currently has 1,640 posts (as of October 26, 2011).
prehistory
Between 1910 and 1916, the Heuberg camp with the associated military training area was built for the XIV (Baden) Army Corps .
In 1914, the establishment of a (war) prisoner camp to the northwest of the actual camp began on the site of today's Alb barracks , which by 1917 had grown to 15,000 prisoners of war.
From 1920 the entire area was used for civilian purposes until the National Socialists used parts of the Heuberg camp in 1933.
After the Wehrmacht had taken over the military training area and the Heuberg camp in 1934, a Reich labor camp with 400 barracks was set up in 1940 in the area of today's Alb barracks .
Alb barracks to this day
The Alb barracks was built between 1962 and 1966 and given its intended purpose in 1966. It has a central heating system (ZVA). In the period that followed, the barracks were expanded several times to the north and west.
Bundeswehr Center for Ordnance Disposal
The Bundeswehr Center for Ordnance Disposal was reorganized on July 1, 2005. This association is unique in the Bundeswehr and brings together all ordnance disposal forces in the Bundeswehr. Should the munitions disposal be decentralized, this could mean that the planned construction of the blasting area "Spitalwäldle" will be superfluous. As part of the realignment of the German Armed Forces , it was announced in October 2011 that the German Armed Forces Center for Ordnance Disposal is to be reclassified into the Ordnance Defense Training Base in 2015.
Bundeswehr service center
The area of responsibility of the "Bundeswehr Service Center Stetten am kalten Markt" (BwDLZ Stetten akM) extends to the districts of Rottweil, Zollernalb, Sigmaringen (excluding the Pfullendorf area), Biberach (only the Riedlingen area) and Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald. The Bundeswehr Service Center supplies from here the barracks in Stetten, Meßstetten, quantities and Sigmaringen and the Robert Schuman army barracks in Müllheim . The authority formerly known as " Location Management" (STOV) takes on the non-military tasks: procurement of materials, administration, management and maintenance of the properties, construction matters and the supply and support of civil and military employees. Most civilian workers are employed in Stetten am kalten Markt (almost 400). This is followed by Sigmaringen with 173, Meßstetten with 169 and Mengen with 50. With the exception of Meßstetten, there is a kitchen at all locations. The central administration of the service center is located in Stetten am kalten Markt. 380 employees are civil servants and employees, around 400 workers (caretakers, warehouse workers, cooks, kitchen helpers, painters, electricians and semi-skilled workers).
