Location of the Dörnberg barracks in Hesse |
The Dörnberg barracks was a barracks of the Bundeswehr in Homberg (Efze) , in which from 1961 the staff and parts of the Panzergrenadierbrigade 5 , artillery and tank units were housed. The name of the barracks was given on March 27, 1965 by the Hessian officer Wilhelm von Dörnberg . It covered about 15 hectares. After the civilian conversion of the land, an administrative center has been set up and commercial enterprises have settled here.
Construction and usage history
When the Bundeswehr began to build up in the 1950s, locations for new barracks were sought. Cities and municipalities had the opportunity to apply for the construction of a new garrison . Municipalities in particular, in which there were no major business establishments and which were considered structurally weak, endeavored to station the Bundeswehr because they promised an upswing as a result. Homberg (Efze), located between Kassel and Bad Hersfeld and with a connection to the federal autobahn 7 , also sought contact with the federal government at an early stage in order to win the armed forces for the location. Corresponding correspondence between the mayor of the city and the Federal Chancellery dates back to January 1955. On November 11, 1957, the Federal Minister of Defense informed the mayor of the city that the Hessian state government had approved the construction of a barracks in principle. The next steps planned during the winter of 1957/58 were a building expert opinion on the suitability of the site, the acquisition of the land and the preparation of the preliminary drafts. The aim was to start construction in the spring of 1958.
By 1961, 8 accommodation buildings, 2 staff buildings, 1 farm building, 2 halls in the technical area and various other facilities were built on an area south of the city on Kreisstraße 36 to Waßmuthshausen . There were considerable delays, which repeatedly prevented units of Panzergrenadierbrigade 5 from moving. On September 20, 1961, shortly after the construction of the Berlin Wall, the time had come: the first soldiers ceremoniously moved into the new barracks in Homberg (Efze).
Headquarters and headquarters company of the 5th Panzer Grenadier Brigade, which was subordinate to the 2nd Panzer Grenadier Division, found their new home in the new barracks after years of relocation. The brigade was set up on the air base in Goslar on July 1, 1956 as Combat Group B 2 from Border Guard Group 5 of the Border Guard Command Center of the Federal Border Guard . On September 1, 1956, she moved to the pioneer barracks in Holzminden . In March 1957 they went to the Wittich barracks in Kassel. The move then took place in the Am Loh barracks in Baunatal - Rengershausen . The next interim solution was the Jäger barracks in Kassel. On March 15, 1959, the combat group with Army Structure 2 was renamed Panzergrenadierbrigade 5. After it was moved to its final location in Homberg (Efze), it stayed until June 30, 1996. On October 3, 1989, it was given the nickname " Kurhessen ". With the end of the Cold War there were also serious changes for the brigade: on July 1, 1996, the brigade was deactivated. The Luftwaffe liaison command to Brigade Command Panzergrenadierbrigade 5 was decommissioned on September 30, 1996. The Panzergrenadierbrigade 5 itself was subordinated to the Panzerbrigade 14 "Hessischer Löwe". It was finally dissolved on December 31, 2003.
The field artillery battalion 55 moved into the Dörnberg barracks with the staff of the 5th Panzer Grenadier Brigade. This unit was set up by order on March 1, 1959 in the Steuben barracks in Giessen . As early as March 1, 1958, however, the basis for this was created by setting up a cadre in the Deines-Bruchmüller barracks in Niederlahnstein . The soldiers moved to Giessen on March 7, 1959. Initially the battalion was subordinate to Artillery Regiment 2, from April 2, 1959 then to the Panzergrenadierbrigade 5. From June 29, 1959 the battalion gradually moved to the intermediate location in Stadtallendorf in the Herrenwald barracks . On September 20, 1961, the solemn move into the new location was celebrated. On October 16, 1967, the battalion was renamed to Panzerartilleriebataillon 55 and received M 109 G self-propelled howitzers. On December 19, 1995, the changes after the end of the Cold War led to a change of position to Panzer Brigade 14 55, which was subordinate to the Artillery Brigade 100 based in Mühlhausen / Thuringia . It received MARS rocket launchers. But already on December 31, 2005, the battalion came to an end. It said goodbye on November 11, 2005 on the market square in Homberg (Efze).
In addition, the 2./Versorgungsbataillon 56, which had been set up in Fritzlar in the Georg Friedrich barracks on March 1, 1959 , moved to the new barracks in Homberg on September 20, 1961. This company was renamed 6./Sanitätsbataillon 2 as part of Army Structure 3 on March 1, 1972, but was finally relocated to Marburg in November 1972, converted into a device unit and stored in the mobilization base in Ockershausen . On September 30, 1992, the company was disbanded.
On November 10, 1961, the company Henschel & Sohn donated a restored old cannon to the town of Homberg (Efze). The city handed it over to Field Artillery Battalion 55 with the condition that it be placed in the Dörnberg barracks, where it found an honorable place on February 21, 1962.
Panzerspähzug 50, which was set up in the Dörnberg barracks on November 16, 1961, was initially employed until September 30, 1972 and part of the headquarters company of Panzergrenadierbrigade 5. From October 1, 1972 to March 31, 1976, it was self-employed, becoming self-employed from April 1 1976 again subordinated to the headquarters company. On April 1, 1982 it was renamed to Panzerspähzug 5 and stationed in the Blücher barracks in Hessisch Lichtenau .
At the end of 1961, training companies were set up to completely exempt the core units from basic training from January 1, 1962. In total, the formation of 17 training companies within the 2nd Panzer Grenadier Division was planned. The training company 10/2 was established in the Dörnberg barracks on October 1, 1961. The training company 15/2 was born on September 1, 1962. It was renamed to 7./Sanitätsbataillon 2 on October 1, 1971, but was disbanded on September 30, 1972. On October 1, 1972, the training company 15/2 was re-established, later the maintenance training company 15/2. With Army Structure 3, this company became the repair training company 6/5, which was finally dissolved on September 30, 1993.
On April 1, 1962, the Wallmeistertrupp 453 was set up. He was replaced by the Wallmeistertrupp 441/8, which was set up in Wolfhagen on October 1, 1973 and relocated to Homberg.
On July 1, 1965, the NBC defense company 50 was set up in the Dörnberg barracks. This unit was initially assigned to Panzergrenadierbrigade 5. With the introduction of Army Structure 3, however, central NBC defense battalions were formed. Therefore, the service of this company ended on March 31, 1971. It went up in the NBC defense battalion 900 and in the NBC defense battalion 310, which were based in the Niederauerbach barracks in Zweibrücken .
On November 22, 1976, the formation of the artillery special train 2 took place. This unit was subordinate to the Panzerartilleriebataillon 55 and had the order to use nuclear warheads with 203-mm projectiles. In the mid-1980s, Artillery Special Train 2 was renamed Artillery Special Train I / 2. As a result of the end of the Cold War, the artillery special train I / 2 was disbanded.
From January 1, 1986 to September 30, 1994 the driving school group Homberg / Efze (driving school group Panzerartilleriebataillon 55) was set up in the Dörnberg barracks.
The field replacement company 50 was set up as a device unit in the Dörnberg barracks on October 1, 1993 and dissolved again on March 31, 2003.
In April 1997 the inactive Panzer Artillery Battalion 65 was transferred to the Dörnberg barracks. This battalion was set up on July 1, 1956 in the Wittich barracks in Kassel from members of the Federal Border Guard as 1st / Field Artillery Regiment 2, but was transferred to Niederlahnstein on July 30, 1956 to the Deines-Bruchmüller barracks. On April 1, 1959, in the course of the introduction of Army Structure 2, it was renamed Field Artillery Battalion 45 and subordinated to Panzergrenadierbrigade 4 in Göttingen . On November 7, 1961, the battalion moved to Bad Arolsen - Mengeringhausen in the newly built barracks there. On January 1, 1972 it was renamed to Panzerartilleriebataillon 45 and equipped with self-propelled howitzers M 109 G. To test the new Army Structure 4, the battalion was renamed to Panzerartilleriebataillon 345 and subordinated to Panzerbrigade 34. With the final introduction of Army Structure 4, Panzer Brigade 34 was renamed Panzerbrigade 6. This gave the Panzerartilleriebataillon 345 the new number 65. The end of the Cold War also led to considerable changes for the battalion, which had been equipped with new M 109 A3 GE A2 self-propelled howitzers in 1989. On July 1, 1993 the subordination to Panzer Brigade 14 took place. On October 1, 1996 the battalion was cadreed and left the Bad Arolsen location. It first moved to the Blücher barracks in Hessisch Lichtenau, where it handed over personnel and equipment to the new 2nd Panzer Artillery Battalion. From April 1997 to March 31, 2003, the battalion, as a non-active unit, was subordinate to the Panzer Artillery Battalion 55, in Homberg (Efze). In April 2003 it came back to Hessisch Lichtenau and was subordinated to the Panzer Artillery Battalion 2 until June 30, 2006. On July 1, 2006, it moved to Mühlhausen in Thuringia and was subordinated to Artillery Reconnaissance Battalion 131 of Artillery Brigade 100. On September 30, 2008, the end of this unit came.
For medical care, the medical area 44/2 in the Dörnberg barracks was equipped with material and the Homberg medical group was set up from October 1, 1972 to December 31, 1997.
The Homberg refreshment station existed from April 1, 1974 to December 31, 1999.
The site had a training area with a total area of approx. 300 hectares, on which the site shooting range 441/2 from April 1, 1972 to November 30, 2000, the anti-aircraft training range for all troops 441/2 from October 1, 1975 to October 31 2005 as well as the local ammunition defeat 441/5 from April 1, 1981 to September 30, 2000 were established.
In the immediate vicinity of the Dörnberg barracks in Waßmuthshäuser Straße 43 until December 31, 1992, the Fritzlar branch office was located in the Homberg (Efze) branch. On January 1, 1993, it was renamed the Homberg site administration. On January 1, 2007, the Bundeswehrdienstleistungszentrum Homberg (Efze) was formed from it and it still exists here today. BWI Informationstechnik GmbH Homberg (Efze) has also been active here since August 1, 2009. From April 1, 2012, Lion Hellmann Bekleidungsgesellschaft mb H. Servicestation Homberg (Efze) was added.
The Dörnberg barracks was finally closed on December 31, 2005.
conversion
When, after German reunification in the 1990s, the Bundeswehr's first troop reduction also affected the Homberg (Efze) location, a first section was removed from the Dörnberg barracks for civilian use. Partial development plan No. 44 was drawn up by the city by resolution of August 7, 1997, which was issued on March 30, 2000 and became legally binding on August 24, 2000. In the southern part of the Dörnberg barracks at Kreisstraße 36, it provided for common use areas for public administrations. It was a total of 5 former barracks accommodation buildings. After the renovation and reconstruction of the barracks building, the administrative center of the Schwalm-Eder district was housed here.
A study initiated in 2005 by the Hessian Ministry of Economics, Transport and Regional Development on the subsequent use of the military properties abandoned by the Bundeswehr confirmed that the Dörnberg barracks, which had already been completely cleared at that time, was in mediocre structural condition. A damage assessment and a redevelopment concept had already been made for the sewage network, but had not yet been implemented. The federal government was also the owner of the infrastructure networks. An accommodation building was to be converted to accommodate the newly created Hessian Office for Land Management. Due to the civil conversion of parts of the area that has already begun and the proximity to Federal Motorway 7, the authors of the study suggested that further development of the site for commercial and service companies should not be ruled out. At the same time, however, they warned against further increasing the commercial space potential in Northern Hesse, as there was a rather low demand for such space. In Homberg / Efze in particular, there was no great need for such properties. The State of Hesse was given the task of coordinating the further procedure for developing the barracks into commercial and mixed areas with the municipality. Above all, organizational and development models and funding opportunities in the state should be discussed. The study recommended "to strive for further commercial follow-up use and development of the remaining areas in the Dörnberg barracks, albeit only in the long term" and to examine the use by other public institutions via the administrative center of the district and the Hessian office for land management. However, it was stated that at that time the municipality was not interested in acquiring the barracks area or in taking over the potential public areas or the technical infrastructure. The state of Hesse should not oppose a planning law designation by the city of Homberg / Efze of areas in the barracks for residential, commercial, services or special uses. It was advised against the short-term acquisition of land by the municipality and the takeover of the infrastructure as long as the framework conditions were not clarified with the federal government.
The Federal Agency for Real Estate Tasks took over the marketing of the remaining barracks areas after the Dörnberg barracks had been completely abandoned. But in 2009 the city of Homberg / Efze signaled its intention to acquire the barracks areas of the Dörnberg and East Prussia barracks. As a result, the Federal Agency for Real Estate Tasks stopped marketing efforts and granted the city a right of first refusal on the areas. The acquisition of the land by the city turned out to be difficult and delayed.
A further development plan should be drawn up for areas on the former sports ground south of the barracks. The city council passed a corresponding resolution on June 12, 2012 for a development plan no. 63, which should identify a 7 hectare special area of photovoltaics. Planning services were awarded for this. The procedure was finally put on hold, so that a resolution by the articles of association has not yet come about.
On September 25, 2012, the Hessische Landgesellschaft bought the remaining areas of the Dörnberg barracks and the East Prussia barracks with the shooting range and parts of the training area with a total of 47 hectares on behalf of the city of Homberg / Efze by the Hessische Landgesellschaft from the Federal Agency for Real Estate Tasks for 1.3 million euros. Funding of EUR 1.75 million was promised for the conversion of the space. Resistance to the acquisition of the barracks had previously risen among the citizens. A referendum was initiated that received 2000 support signatures. On August 30, 2012, the city council rejected public participation due to formal errors. An urgent application directed against this was rejected by the Kassel Administrative Court. The purchase of the site before the decision on the referendum in the main proceedings was criticized by the Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen parliamentary group in the city council. It was planned to designate around 20 hectares as business park and 21 hectares as industrial area. The city of Homberg / Efze should develop the areas and receive funding for this from the ERDF program. On November 1, 2012, the area was handed over from the Federal Agency for Real Estate Tasks to the Hessische Landgesellschaft. At this point in time, the first purchase contracts had already been concluded with third parties and negotiations were being carried out with other interested parties.
The sale of the area of the Dörnberg barracks at a price of 3.63 euros per square meter to a city council of Homberg / Efze caused a stir in 2013. An inspection and investigation committee was set up. In December 2013, the purchase agreement was initially executed. In November 2015 the city council decided to clarify the validity of the purchase contract in court. However, the city was defeated in the first instance before the Kassel district court.
On July 15, 2013, services for the renovation of the infrastructure in the East Prussia and Dörnberg barracks were awarded. The rehabilitation of the sewage system in the barracks cost around 3 million euros. The renewal of the water and power supply as well as the traffic systems devoured another 2.5 million euros. Finally, 300,000 euros were spent on accompanying landscape measures. The work was completed in August 2015.
The city council had already decided on September 29, 2005 to draw up the development plan no. 57 “Sub-area of the former Dörnberg barracks”. In May and June 2013, citizens and public sector bodies were involved at an early stage. On May 15, 2014, the city council finally decided on the development plan, which essentially had the designation of commercial areas in the Dörnberg barracks. This was preceded by a resolution involving two city councils who were concerned about bias. The local authority therefore recommended that the vote be repeated. On June 26, 2014, the development plan finally came into force.
For the first time in September 2014, the Hessische Landgesellschaft, commissioned by the city of Homberg / Efze, reported to the city council about its marketing concept and the status of the conversion. Accordingly, the development costs in 2014 and 2015 alone amounted to a total of 5.6 million euros on the barracks areas. Only two purchase contracts have been concluded for land belonging to the former Dörnberg barracks.
On January 29, 2015 it was decided to draw up an amendment statute for development plan No. 57 in order to make minor changes. The city council passed the changes by resolution of November 9, 2017.
On November 9, 2015, streets in the former Dörnberg barracks were named by the city after opponents of National Socialism . At the same time, a yellow ribbon was attached to the brigade site as a sign of solidarity with the soldiers of the Bundeswehr deployed abroad. This was suggested by a member of the support association of the Rapid Forces division.
On December 7, 2015, the city council approved the sale of three more buildings from the Dörnberg barracks to the Schwalm-Eder district. The district administration planned the accommodation of up to 150 refugees in two former company buildings with 760 and 780 square meters, respectively, as well as a reception facility in the former officers' house with 400 square meters of building space. The district archive was to be set up in a building later. A total of 14,000 square meters changed hands for a purchase price of 281,000 euros.
On January 23, 2018, it was announced that the Schwalm-Eder district needed additional space to accommodate more than 100 officials. To meet this need, an accommodation building in the barracks was to be demolished and a new building erected in its place. The completion of the new administration building is planned for mid-2021. When the barracks building was demolished, it had to be taken into account that it was made of building materials containing asbestos.
