Federal Ministry of the Interior in the former Düppel barracks

The Düppel barracks is a former artillery and infantry barracks in the Bonn district of Bonn-Castell , which, together with surrounding buildings, is used today by the Federal Ministry of the Interior and other federal authorities.

location

The Düppel-Kaserne property is located in the north of Bonn-Castell on Graurheindorfer Straße (house number 198) directly on the A 565 , which is the border with Graurheindorf .

history

The barracks was named after the battle of the Düppeler Schanzen in Denmark in 1864. It was started in 1913 as the last new barracks to be built before the First World War . It was intended for the 1st Division of the (3rd Rhenish) Field Artillery Regiment No. 83 of the Prussian Army , which, however, did not move in because the war began in 1914. The barracks were not completed until 1915. After 1918 it was used by the Prussian state police , for which a new building was built in 1927. From 1936 the 1st Battalion 77th Infantry Regiment and temporarily the 1st Division of Artillery Regiment 6 of the Wehrmacht were stationed here. In 1938, the extension of a "double team house" began on the street front south, but was only completed after 1949.

In 1949, the former Düppel barracks with the building that was added later, whose offer of office space had influenced the decision in favor of Bonn as the provisional seat of government of the Federal Republic of Germany, became the headquarters of the Federal Ministry of the Interior. At the end of the 1950s, the federal government had the various buildings structurally connected; in 1968/69 a twelve-storey high-rise was added by the Deutsche Bau- und Grundstücks-AG, and from 1977-79 by the Federal Building Department a canteen and meeting room building (with a walkable green roof ). An extension was completed in the mid-1980s. Since 1999, due to the relocation of the government seat to Berlin , the property has been the second official seat of the Federal Ministry of the Interior. Today the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media, a branch of the Federal Statistical Office and the Federal Institute for Sports Science are also located here.

architectural art

On the square in front of the canteen and conference room building, some works by visual artists were placed as art in the building , including four copper plates by Erich Reusch distributed on the lawn in 1979 and the bronze sculpture Hellas VIII / 66 (king figure) (1966/78) by 1982 Gerson Fehrenbach , Kubische Verwinklung (1974) by Friedrich Gräsel made of stainless steel, Large Epitaph for Two V / 4 (1980) by Fritz Koenig made of iron and Mit Schleppe (1971) by Heinz-Günter Prager made of steel. The sculptor Gottfried Gruner created the water sculpture Aquamobil (1979) for the inner courtyard in the entrance area, which is supposed to represent the cycle of water. Inside the building there are further works created in the course of the new building between 1978 and 1979 : a wooden sculpture by Ursula Sax , the five stone objects as relief images by Mary Bauermeister in the foyer, three objects embedded in the wall paneling as lead-coated reliefs in the large conference room ( The Dialog ) by Wolf Vostell and the installation three-window sash by Heinz Mack made of aluminum and Plexiglas.

Two works were created as early as 1955 as part of direct awards to artists, a mosaic by the Heidelberg painter Willi Sohl (1906–1969) at the entrance and cash desk at the time, and a fountain with a bear sculpture by Fritz Melis outside .
