Internal association badge of the former Ulmen ammunition depot

The Gräfin-von-Maltzan-Kaserne in Ulmen ( Rhineland-Palatinate ) is a property of the Bundeswehr , in which the school for service dogs of the Bundeswehr has been housed since 2005 . From 1959 to 2001 it was an ammunition depot and an external ammunition store.

location

The barracks are located in the Hochpochen forest in a former ammunition depot about four and a half kilometers east of the municipality of Ulmen and about five kilometers north of the Büchel Air Base , where the Tactical Air Force Wing 33 is stationed. About three kilometers southeast is a special armory for Nuclear sharing of NATO . About two and a half kilometers to the north-north-west was a branch of the Defense District Clothing Office  IV in Höchstberg , which was closed at the end of September 2003 . Three kilometers to the west is a shooting range and five kilometers to the west was the Eifel Maar barracks , which closed on June 25, 1997 . The main users of those barracks were the III. 2nd Battalion of Air Force Training Regiment  2 and the 4th Battalion of Air Force Training Regiment 1.

designation

The barracks was named after Maria Countess von Maltzan on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Bundeswehr service dog school on August 8, 2008 . Before that, she was nameless. In the Bundeswehr's database of locations , the property was simply referred to as "Depot Ulmen".

history

The Ulmen ammunition depot (MunDp Ulmen) was set up on April 1, 1959. This started the use of the property by the Bundeswehr. French armed forces were previously on the site . At the end of the 1980s, after almost 20 years of planning, the depot was expanded for 50 million German marks in four construction phases. On October 1, 1994, it was renamed the Ulmen Sub-Munitions Camp (MunALgr Ulmen). This was decommissioned at the end of March 31, 2001. After a few years of vacancy, the Bundeswehr service dog school moved into the property from the Bubenheim mob base in Koblenz . Parts of the 50 or so ammunition warehouses were converted for the training of service dogs and a dog pen was built. The secluded location prevents residents from being disturbed by dog ​​noise.

Departments

The only office in the barracks is currently the Bundeswehr Service Dog School with the following areas:

  • inspection
  • Service dog clinic
  • Teaching / Training Department
