The Feyen barracks was a German, later French barracks in the Feyen district of Trier . The barracks, built as "Trier-Feyen Infantry Barracks" in 1938/39, was built in the course of the so-called rearmament of the Nazi regime on an area where gardens and fields had spread out up until then. The barracks area lies like an arrowhead between the districts of Feyen and Weismark , between “Pellinger Straße” and the street “Am Pfahlweiher”. To the south-east of the barracks there was a training area with a local combat facility (house combat training) , the fauna-flora-habitat area Mattheiser Wald ( nature reserve since 2003). There are no listed buildings in the area of ​​the barracks .

history

Planning began on November 24, 1937 with a discussion about the size and location of the barracks. The architect Johann Hannappel from Essen , who also took over the construction management, died before the barracks were completed.

The Erstbelegung took place on 19 February 1939 by the II. Battalion of Infantry - Regiment 124 (as of October 1942 Grenadier regiment 124 ). The 1st battalion of the regiment was in the Jägerkaserne on Eurener Strasse (Trier-West / Euren ). After the end of the war, Polish forced laborers who had been deported to Germany and initially did not want to return to Poland were quartered there . Then the barracks was occupied by the French army and was given the name of the French general Noël de Castelnau “Quartier Castelnau” as a souvenir. The adjacent "Matheiserwald" was by the French as a training area used and an armored Ringstrasse created. A site ammunition depot and a site shooting range were added later . In order to be able to practice “ house-to-house fighting ”, a local fighting facility was built.

After the French army withdrew in 1999, the area lay fallow and became a conversion area . The conversion of the site was slow and was the subject of several legal disputes. Many smaller buildings and barracks fell into disrepair and / or became dilapidated.

Conversion area

According to the development plan BF13 of the city of Trier , it was planned to set up a craftsmen's park in the technical area of ​​the barracks . The Trier Chamber of Handicrafts campaigned for this in order to counteract further migration of craft businesses to the surrounding area. A local resident successfully sued this plan in 2006. It was found that the development plan did not conform to the rules and was repealed by the Koblenz Higher Administrative Court . Furthermore, the OVG determined that it was fundamentally permissible to build the craftsmen's park. Thereupon the city of Trier changed the noise protection regulation and the development plan became active again. In 2007, this time by a resident , another lawsuit against the conversion project took place. The OVG Koblenz did not follow the argument that the planned artisan park would be connected to the fauna-flora-habitat area Mattheiser Wald and that natural law issues were not taken into account and dismissed the lawsuit. The planned craftsmen's park was discarded due to the high development costs and the withdrawal of commitments from craft businesses.

The approx. 340,000 m² conversion site in Castelnau has been restructured since 2012 and incorporated into the Feyen / Weismark districts. The first construction phase (development plan BF 15) covers the area from the so-called "triangular area" via the parade ground to the slope. On the triangular area between the streets Am Sandbach and Zum Pfahlweiher there has been a local supply center since autumn 2014. The former parade ground, today Gustave-Eiffel-Straße, has been restructured. Surrounded by the existing buildings, single-family houses in various types of living are now located on the former parade ground. The first residents moved here in 2013. The former team building 019/020 was also converted into 80 residential units in the course of this restructuring. Since the end of 2014, single-family houses have been built on the hillside terraces above this area with a view of Trier and the Moselle valley (development plan BF 14), each on plots of 600 to 800 square meters.
