history

The Lehr-Escadron-Kaserne was built from 1817 to 1818 for the training of the squadron of the Prussian cavalry and was one of Schinkel's first brick buildings. The place major Philipp, who gave the building his name, lived there. After the new barracks building was built in 1841, the building was only used as a military detention center. Hence the soldier's saying : Received from father Philip in the sense of arrest.
