location
The field artillery and foot artillery shooting school is located northwest of the Jüterbog train station in the barracks town of Jüterbog II. Jüterbog II was founded in 1890 and, in addition to the shooting school, also included civilian houses that are needed next to the barracks. In 1897 the quarter got its own train station. The barracks town was almost as big as the old town of Jüterbog. The name Jüterbog II comes from the post office responsible at the time. Jüterbog II is not an official district today.
history
The artillery shooting school was founded in Spandau in 1867 . The associated shooting range was in Tegel . The Army Shooting School was founded to train officers . The officers should get to know the constantly evolving artillery technology here . In 1872 the shooting school was divided into a field artillery and a foot artillery shooting school. At that time the literature spoke of two shooting schools. In 1890 the artillery school was moved to Jüterbog. The grounds in Tegel and Spandau were no longer sufficient for training. For the relocation of the shooting school, the shooting range in Jüterbog, which was laid out in 1864, was expanded in 1889. The barracks were built from 1890 to 1902, and the people from the artillery school were housed in barracks until it was completed.
From 1892 almost all artillery officers were trained in Jüterbog, with the exception of the Bavarian officers. In 1900 the field artillery school was one regiment , the foot artillery school was one battalion in 1905 . In 1912 a second battalion of foot artillery was established, the barracks were on the Fuchsberg.
The Jüterbog artillery school continued to exist during the Weimar Republic , when the Reichswehr was reduced to 100,000 men. During this time, the shooting school was expanded to include the mine throwing school and the news school. The separation of field artillery and a foot artillery shooting school was also lifted. From 1933 the artillery school and the firing range were further expanded. In 1942 a new artillery school was built in Berlin, the artillery school in Jüterbog was called Artillery School II. When the Berlin area was increasingly attacked by planes in August 1943, the school was relocated to Groß Born in Pomerania.
From 1945 to 1994 the artillery school was used by the Red Army . After the Red Army withdrew, the barracks were partially converted into apartments.
The attachment
The facility is partially used as a residential building, but many buildings are no longer there or are in ruins. This applies in particular to the single-storey stables north of the Alte Garrison street. The buildings are on Tauentzienstrasse, Alte Garnison, Bülowstrasse, Brückenstrasse, Friedensstrasse, Parkstrasse and Schmidtstrasse. Most streets have rows of different trees. To the west of the team house (11) there is now a solar system.
Crew building
The team buildings ( location of the team building (1) , location of the team building (2) , location of the team building (4) , location of the team building (8) and the team building (11) ) on Tauentzienstrasse were built between 1890 and 1893. They are three-story buildings in the style of the Märkische Brick Gothic. In addition to the team building (2), which was enlarged to double its size in 1902, there are short side wings and a central projectile on the courtyard side. The street side is characterized by risalits and dazzling gables. The team buildings (2) and (4) have stepped gables, the tops are covered. The other buildings were not structured so elaborately. In the 1930s, the shapes were partially reduced. The crew building (11) was built in 1900, the III. Teaching department. In the middle wing there was a tower attachment, here was a water tank.
