The barracks were built in several sections from 1861/62 as accommodation for the 3rd Guard Uhlan Regiment in Jägerallee in Potsdam in the Norman castle style. After its final completion in 1880, it housed the 5th Squadron of this regiment.
After the First World War and the limitation of the number of troops in the Reichswehr , the complex was used as accommodation for the Potsdam police from 1920.
From 1933, after the seizure of power of the Nazis , the buildings served as barracks again the newly formed army . In memory of Potsdam Day , the complex was named Hindenburg Barracks . Parts of the Potsdam Infantry Regiment , which was later renamed Infantry Regiment 9 , were stationed here .
After the end of World War II and the occupation of East Germany by the Red Army , the Soviet Armed Forces in Germany (GSSD) used the barracks until 1991.
In 1991 the building was listed as a historical monument , in 1997 it was taken over by the Bornstedter Feld development agency and renovated as part of the extensive construction work in the city area before the 2001 Federal Garden Show . In 2002 it was handed over to the first new users, a Potsdam upper level center and the Deutsche Kreditbank (DKB). The artists Frank Michael Zeidler and Hubertus von der Goltz opened the Kunsthaus Potsdam in 2002 in part of the area .
