The Allgäu-Kaserne is a barracks of the army of the Bundeswehr in the Bavarian Füssen . The barracks was built in 1936 and was given its current name in 1995.
history
In the course of the armament of the Wehrmacht , Füssen became a garrison town from 1936 . The first unit to move into the barracks was the 99 Mountain Infantry Regiment . It was under the command of Colonel Eduard Dietl , who later gave the barracks its name.
After the end of World War II , the barracks initially served as a repatriation camp until 1946 when the US troops moved into the barracks with a field artillery battalion and a constabulary squadron . The barracks were then used as the USAREUR Ordnance School in 1947 . On February 11, 1958, the first unit of the Bundeswehr, the GebFlaArtBtl 8 , moved into the barracks. Füssen has been the armed forces base since then.
On November 9, 1995, after long discussions and despite massive opposition, the barracks were renamed from Colonel General Dietl Barracks to Allgäu Barracks. It was thus the first barracks of the Bundeswehr whose name was changed because the namesake, due to his convictions and involvement in war crimes , did not correspond to the model in the sense of the traditional understanding of the Bundeswehr.
In 2019, the construction of a new sports and climbing hall began. It is the first infrastructure project to be implemented according to the new model planning for the specialized training of the army in climbing and abseiling.
