Air barracks Wiener Neustadt
The former Kaiser-Karl-Fliegerkaserne , then Fliegerkaserne , in Wiener Neustadt at Flugfeldgürtel 11 to 15 was the first barracks of the developing air force of the monarchy. Today's barracks Flugfeld is located at Flugfeldgürtel 19.
In 1909 was the mayor Franz Kammann from the town of Wiener Neustadt in the northwest of the city created an airfield and a military-aviation-station set up. In 1913 the airfield went to the army administration with a lease agreement. The air barracks were built between 1914 and 1917 according to plans by architects Siegfried Theiss and Hans Jaksch . The originally extensive barracks complex was opened up in the middle through Wöllersdorfer Straße, which was shortened in 1938.
The residential complex of the overall planning by Theiss and Jaksch could only be built after the First World War as a residential complex on the airfield - today called Dr.-Karl-Renner-Hof .
In 1921, the municipality opened the first municipal kindergarten and crèche on the premises of the former aviation barracks. The administrator of the hospital was entrusted with the realization of the kindergarten. The so-called custodial institution was mainly used by working mothers for their children. As there was soon a great response, two more kindergartens were set up in 1923 and 1926. In 1926 an educational institution for kindergarten teachers was started in the former air barracks. The kindergarten teacher training institute with public rights was a novelty in Austria because it was neutral and not denominational. The initiator of the educational institution was the former teacher and councilor and later member of the National Council Marie Hautmann .
In the Second World War , there was severe war damage from 1943 to 1945, so that only the portal structure, the officers' living quarters (Object III), and the central heating boiler house, which was converted into an Anton church in the interwar period, are essentially preserved.
The former portal system on the airfield belt appears as a long, low neoclassical building facing Wielandgasse. The officers' living quarters are three-story with a gable under a high pitched roof.
