Military neighboring facilities
Before the other locations were closed, the following military facilities of the Bundeswehr were still in Leipzig :
- Property at Bahnhofstrasse 86 (abandoned in 2015)
- Medical center Leipzig - sub-units Bahnhofstraße (ZSan)
- Armed Forces Hospital Leipzig (ZSan)
-
Theodor-Körner-Kaserne (abandoned 2007)
- 13th Panzer Grenadier Division (H)
- 9th / Feldjägerregiment 1 (SKB)

Due to the closure of the other - also Soviet - barracks, the General-Olbricht-Kaserne is the only remaining military base in Leipzig. All previous barracks were either converted immediately after the site was abandoned (Georg Schumann barracks, now the seat of the State Insurance Institute and the Leipzig Job Center) or are still under renovation after a long period of decay (including Kaisergärten, Parc du Soleil, Siebengrün district, Werk Engine).
