Construction and usage history
Planning and construction
With the establishment of the Bundeswehr from 1956, there was a need for barracks to accommodate the newly created units and offices, which could not be met by taking over existing facilities from the former occupying powers of the USA, France and Great Britain. For the Bundeswehr location Idar-Oberstein, too, the necessity was seen as early as 1956 to supplement the existing barracks ( hollow barracks , Klotzberg barracks , Strasbourg barracks ) with a new building and thus create additional capacities. The on- site shooting range in the Algenrodt district and the Rilchenberg on- site practice area were set up in 1956.
In 1957 the first planning meeting for the new construction of a barracks facility on the Rilchenberg in Idar-Oberstein took place. The building application for the new barracks was made in 1961. On July 10, 1963, a property south of Niederbrombach was taken over for use as a training area and small-caliber artillery firing range ("ArtKK site").
In 1964 the construction of the Rilchenberg barracks began. The local Catholic Church of St. Barbara was consecrated on September 2, 1964, and the Evangelical St. John's Church on October 25, 1964. This gave the military parishes, headed by the Evangelical local pastor (since January 1, 1957 in Idar-Oberstein) and the Catholic local pastor (at the site since August 2, 1956) their places of worship. Kindergartens and parish libraries were part of the infrastructure. The Protestant Military Parish Office has been located here since July 1, 2007 and the Idar-Oberstein Catholic Military Parish Office since November 1, 2007 .
In 1966, the topping-out ceremony for the barracks complex of the first two construction phases, which included the staff building, accommodation and the technical area, as well as the first groundbreaking for the third construction phase with another staff building and a lecture hall building.
