history
The Hermann-Löns-Kaserne was already used by the Wehrmacht . After the Second World War , the Belgian armed forces moved into the property and named it Walcheren barracks. In 1956 the Bundeswehr took over the use. In connection with the closure of the barracks in 1995, the guard battalion was moved to the Brückberg barracks in Siegburg . Today the staff and all companies are stationed in the Julius Leber barracks in Berlin . In 1996, the demolition of the buildings began to make way for the new residential area for 1200 residents.
