Location of the Alfred Delp barracks in Bavaria

The Alfred Delp barracks of the Bundeswehr was in Donauwörth southeast of Park City on Schellenberg in Sternschanzenstraße. The barracks was named after the resistance fighter against National Socialism, Alfred Delp .

Stationed troops

The barracks was built in the course of the establishment of the army of the Bundeswehr at the end of the 1950s. On December 1, 1959, the Panzergrenadierbataillon 282 and the Feldartilleriebataillon 285 (from 1964: Panzerartilleriebataillon 305) took it up. On June 24, 1964, the PzGrenBtl 282 was relocated to Bayreuth and at the same time a new one was set up in Donauwörth with the same number. Since July 1, 1964, the headquarters of the Panzer Grenadier Brigade 28 , the NBC Abwehr Company 300 and the Feldjägerwachkommando of the 10th Panzer Grenadier Division , as well as the Defense District Command 612 , were in Donauwörth . The headquarters of the PzGrenBrig 28 and the PzGrenBtl 282 remained until 1970 In 1993 the tank artillery battalion 305 was housed in the barracks. Most recently, the Alfred Delp barracks housed the following Bundeswehr offices:

  • Battalion Electronic Warfare 922
    (set up in 1959 as telecommunications reconnaissance battalion 220, from 1968 as telecommunications battalion 220 in Donauwörth. Since 2003 under the last name),
  • First aid team (SanStff) Donauwörth,
  • Family Care Center (FBZ) Donauwörth of the Bavarian State Command ,
  • Bundeswehr Service Center (BwDLZ) Ellwangen, Site Service (StoS) Donauwörth,

Bundeswehr reform

As part of the Bundeswehr reform in 2011 , the Donauwörth garrison was dissolved by the end of 2013. At the Donauwörth location, however, the Air Force System Center 22 with around 130 posts at Airbus Helicopters is still located.
