history

Barracks

The quarter owes its name to its military history, which dates back to the 19th century and which is also reflected in numerous street names that are named after military-historical figures, historical battles and other terms from the field of military affairs:

Due to the tight financial situation on the part of the state, the Bavarian Army was forced in the first half of the 19th century to accommodate its soldiers and others. a. to fall back on the use of secularized monastery buildings . For the 4th Infantry Regiment stationed in Regensburg (since Regensburg's transition to Bavaria in 1810) and 11th Infantry Regiment (since 1851), the former Minorite monastery on Dachauplatz , the former Augustinian monastery on Neupfarrplatz and the former Notre Dame monastery in Stadtamhof converted into makeshift barracks , which of course could not meet the military requirements and in the case of the Minorite barracks had to be expanded ( new barracks ). In the long term, the capacity problem could only be solved by building new barracks outside the city center.

Former infantry barracks

Former infantry barracks In 1891, construction of the new infantry barracks , which initially consisted of two half - battalion barracks, began on a large piece of land between Landshuter Strasse, which runs south-eastwards from the city, and the Regensburg - Munich / Passau railway line . The property was particularly suitable because of the short distance to the Irler Höhe parade ground to the east and the shooting range in Frauenholz. However, due to the fourth battalions that were generally established with the infantry regiments at the time, and especially after the 3rd battalion of the 11th Infantry Regiment had been moved to Regensburg in 1896, the new barracks needed to be expanded soon after completion. In several construction phases, the military area of ​​the infantry barracks increased to a total of 9 hectares by 1918 and finally included the following facilities:

Even after the dissolution of the Bavarian Army in 1919, the Regensburg infantry barracks , which was renamed Von der Tann barracks in 1938 in memory of the 11th Infantry Regiment, retained its previous function for the troops of the Reichswehr and Wehrmacht , and parts were also made left to the Bavarian State Police for accommodation purposes. Since the Second World War , the four half-battalion barracks, which are now listed, have been used for official purposes (social court, center Bavaria: family and social affairs, water management office, technical college). The barracks courtyard, which was once graveled, was planted with greenery and now serves as an east park for the population to relax.

Former cavalry barracks The decision made by the War Ministry in 1906 to station the 2nd Chevaulegers Regiment in Regensburg made it necessary to build a new barracks. Therefore, in 1908, construction of the new cavalry barracks , initially designed for 4 squadrons , began on a 9-hectare property southwest of the existing infantry barracks on the opposite side of Landshuter Straße . The military area, built in two construction phases by 1915, finally included the following facilities:

  • Office building, 2 Doppeleskadronskasernen, Eskadronskaserne, marital residential buildings, Offizierkasino , farm buildings, Field vehicle shed, fire extinguishers shed pioneer shed , Krümperschuppen , fitting forging, 5 Eskadronsstallungen, sick pen, Reithaus, double Reithaus, Officer stable, cartridges house Fußexerzier- and riding ring with riding track jump garden, 2 turn places

Like the neighboring infantry barracks, the Regensburg cavalry barracks , which were renamed Camps des Romains barracks from 1938 in memory of the 11th Infantry Regiment , until the end of the Second World War, housed various units of the Reichswehr, Bavarian State Police and Wehrmacht. While one of the double-squadron barracks was destroyed during the war, the other barracks are now used for civilian purposes. The former team house is now the seat of a traffic police inspection, the stables were demolished.

Former Nibelungen barracks

Bajuwarenkaserne - Nibelungenkaserne - Pionierkaserne - Rafflerkaserne - Prinz-Leopold-Kaserne The infantry and cavalry barracks were replaced from the 1930s by larger barracks further south and west. The four new barracks, Prinz-Leopold-Kaserne, Pionier-Kaserne, Nibelungen-Kaserne (west of the barracks quarter in the city ​​district 12 Galgenberg ) and Rafflerkaserne were built. Finally, after 1945, the Bavarian barracks for the Bundeswehr were built. The Nibelungen barracks were occupied by the US Army as 'Fort Skelly' until the 1960s , as was the pioneer barracks, whose US use ended in the 1980s.

As a result of internal restructuring as part of the Bundeswehr reform and the associated release of real estate and land, larger areas of the barracks have been used for new civil purposes since the 1990s. This included, on the one hand, the dissolution of the Rafflerkaserne (north of the Bajuwarenkaserne): After extensive renovation and conversion work, the buildings were partially converted into an administrative center, and new residential quarters were built on the open spaces. In 2006, the northern section of the pioneer barracks was also torn down to make room for a new specialist medical center, which will be connected to the nearby St. Josef Hospital . In this way, the city of Regensburg is trying to better network the residential quarters, which were originally separated from one another by the closed military areas, and thereby increasingly upgrade the district in terms of urban development. The Nibelungen barracks was abandoned in 2010 and demolished in 2014 as part of the conversion . An initial reception facility for asylum seekers was set up on part of the premises of the Bavarian barracks and opened on March 30, 2017.
