Barracks transaction
As a barracks transaction , experts and historians refer to the relocation of barracks of the Austro-Hungarian Joint Army from central locations on the outskirts of the city in the kk Vienna from 1890 to around 1912 .
The growth of the imperial and royal capital and residence with the incorporation of more than 40 suburbs on January 1, 1892 made it seem advisable to move barracks from cramped inner-city locations to loosely built-up outskirts. The Imperial and Royal Finance Minister, at that time Emil Steinbach in the cabinet of the Imperial and Royal Prime Minister Count Eduard Taaffe , was authorized by a law signed by Emperor Franz Joseph I on June 10, 1891 to sell various barracks and other properties and to use the proceeds of the Imperial and Royal Army Administration for “replacement” (New barracks) available. Additional properties were defined in later authorizations. As a result, the following areas, among others, were cleared from 1900, a total of well over 400,000 m², largely centrally located building land:
- the Franz-Josephs-Kaserne Vienna in the 1st district (57,381 m²)
- the Heumarktkaserne in the 3rd district (29,455 m²)
- the wagon barracks in the 3rd district (25,282 m²)
- Land on Boerhaavegasse in the 3rd district (43,009 m²)
- the wooden courtyard barracks in the 4th district (7,577 m²)
- the Gumpendorfer barracks in the 6th district (21,815 m²)
- the Getreidemarktkaserne in the 6th district
- the Josefstädter barracks in the 8th district (52,556 m²; replacement: Breitenseer barracks )
- the military catering depot in the 8th district (21,670 m²)
- the Alser barracks in the 9th district (26,673 m²)
- from 1910 parts of the parade and parade ground in Schmelz , then in the 13th, 14th and 15th district
- Land on the Türkenschanze in the 19th district (68,473 m²)
- the parade ground in Mauer near Vienna (62,754 m²)
Other barracks close to the center, such as the Rennweger barracks in the 3rd district, the collegiate barracks in the 7th district and the Rossauer barracks in the 9th district, were either retained or rebuilt, like the Moroccan barracks in the 3rd district. In addition to new buildings for the army, part of the construction costs of the new Austro-Hungarian War Ministry , completed in 1913, were financed from the proceeds of the sale of the property .
