The Erzherzog-Carl-Kaserne , finally Carlskaserne or Karlskaserne , was located in the 22nd district of Vienna Donaustadt at Maurichgasse 18-20 and was built from 1910 to 1911 by the Austro-Hungarian Army as a replacement for the Alser barracks . Originally it was called "New Barracks" or "Kagran Barracks". On January 20, 1912, Emperor Franz Joseph I approved the renaming to "Archduke-Carl-Kaserne" after Karl von Österreich-Teschen .
After the First World War , the building was first used as a shelter for the homeless and between 1923 and 1934 as a residential building. From 1935 the building was used again as a barracks and housed the number 1 air regiment of the armed forces .
On February 15, 1943, the war effort began here and in the Franz Ferdinand barracks for the first pupils in Vienna as air force helpers.
The barracks were expanded by the German Wehrmacht and occupied by the Red Army after the Second World War . During the popular uprising in Hungary in 1956, the barracks was used as a refugee camp .
From 1963 the building was used again as barracks by the Austrian Armed Forces . Initially, this was the home of the command and some companies of the Training Regiment 2 (ZusatzR 2) from which the Landwehr Tribe Regiment 22 (LWSR 22) emerged. This was combined in 1994 with the LWSR 21 "Hoch- und Deutschmeister" to form Jägerregiment 2 (JgR 2). In 1999, JgR 1 and 2 were further merged to form the Vienna Jägerregiment (JgR W). In 1999 the armed forces gave up the barracks, in 2005 parts of the buildings, such as the casino building with the theater hall, were demolished. Residential houses were built on the site of the barracks because of the proximity to the subway .
On April 6, 2006, the official groundbreaking ceremony for the "Archduke Carl Residential Park" with a total of 273 apartments built by two developers took place. The apartments were handed over to the tenants in November 2007 and January 2008, respectively. The total construction costs are said to have been 35.75 million euros.
