history

Since suitable accommodation was required on the Pfaffendorfer Höhe, a new barracks for two companies of the 2nd Rhenish Infantry Regiment No. 28 (von Goeben) was built on Kolonnenweg from 1875 to 1877. The two-storey, two-wing building was made of half-timbering , the compartments of which were bricked. The base of the building was made of quarry stone. In 1885 the barracks received another wing to accommodate two additional companies, in 1908/1909 two family houses and in 1911/1912 a farm building were added.

In 1913–1915, another barracks for the 3rd Rhenish Fortress Pioneer Regiment No. 30 was built in the street Am Luisenturm . After the end of the First World War , the barracks on the Asterstein were requisitioned by the French occupation from 1923, and the entire ensemble was named Caserne Jourdan . The barracks of the fortress pioneers were later acquired by the Arzheim community , while the family houses were rented out to private individuals. The barracks of the 28s bought a Berlin company. In and around the buildings later used as SA barracks or by the Wehrmacht , one of the numerous slums in Koblenz was built after the Second World War . Since 1951, the buildings have belonged to the city of Koblenz, which demolished most of the houses in the late 1950s to mid-1960s and had them replaced with new buildings.
