location
It is located on the east side of the northern section of Turmschanzenstraße in Magdeburg's Brückfeld district at the address Turmschanzenstraße 27-32, above the right bank of the Old Elbe and occupies an area between Turmschanzenstraße, Jerichower Straße, Am Unterbär and Herrenkrugstraße.
history
The barracks was built in 1912/13 as a location for the infantry regiment Prince Leopold von Anhalt-Dessau (1st Magdeburgisches) number 26 at the eastern entrance to the city of Magdeburg and moved into in 1914. The spelling Anger-Kaserne is also used for the barracks . At times it was named Von Seeckt barracks after Colonel General Hans von Seeckt .
The regiment was disbanded in 1918. This was followed in the summer of 1919 by the newly formed Volunteer Regiment number 26, which was based on the old officer line. Within the Reichswehr it belonged to the III. Battalion of the 12th Infantry Regiment until it became the 13th Infantry Division in 1935 . It used one of the two team buildings. The other team building was used by the former 3rd Magdeburg Infantry Regiment number 66 , that as the 10th company of III. Battalion was continued.
In 1939 the barracks also housed the intelligence department of the 13th Infantry Division, which became part of the 13th Panzer Division from 1940 . The old regiments 26 and 66 also became part of the 13th Panzer Division in 1940 and were led there as Panzergrenadier Regiment 66.
architecture
The plastered mostly three-storey buildings of the barracks were designed in a simple neo-baroque style. The buildings still preserved today are located on the corner of Turmschanzenstrasse and Jerichower Strasse. Two three-storey representative team buildings were built. The street-side facade fronts are characterized by three very low risalits , the design of the courtyard sides was more simple. Both the ground floor facades and the edges of the buildings are decorated with plaster bands. The buildings are covered with high mansard roofs , which are provided with roof cores and dormers. The inputs are in the outer axes on the back. The team building on Jerichower Strasse was later given a modern extension to the east.
The main entrance to the barracks complex is on the west side on Turmschanzenstrasse and is flanked by two smaller guard gates. They are each crowned by a triangular gable. To the south of the entrance is a two-storey commercial building with a significantly changed appearance. The original roof shape has not been preserved, and a neo-baroque risalit gable is no longer there. In addition, a northern extension was increased. Above the ground floor, however, the building still has a relief image decorated with trophies on the street side. To the south of this, at a slightly greater distance from the road, there is a third crew building, facing southeast, which was built for a machine gun company.
Another two-story farm building is located in the inner courtyard and originally served as a casino and dining room for NCOs. Today (as of 2002) there is a canteen for the surrounding state ministries.
In the mid-1930s, a plastered three-storey building was erected on Turmschanzenstrasse as a quarter for the news department 13. The building, which was simply designed in the style typical of the Nazi era , is also covered with a mansard roof and so its appearance blends in with the older buildings. The entrance bay of this house has a stone door wall. In the gable of the roof bay was originally a representation of an imperial eagle .
The barracks are listed in the local monument register under registration number 094 82868 as a monument .
The complex is a testament to the garrison town of Magdeburg as important in terms of urban and military history.
