Location of the Luitpold barracks in Bavaria

The Luitpold barracks , originally airship barracks , at Infanteriestraße 19 in Munich , built from 1896, served as accommodation for the airship department of the Bavarian army founded in 1890 .

The garrison of Munich, which had grown into a significant strength, dominated the scene on Oberwiesenfeld with its many barracks and other facilities in the period before the First World War . In 1931/32 the Luitpold barracks were expanded by an area of ​​around 5.5 hectares. After the end of the Second World War , the buildings were renovated and used by the US Army from 1950 . In 1955 the newly founded Bundeswehr moved in .

In 1957 the army medical school came to Munich in the Luitpold barracks and two years later it was reclassified as the "Bundeswehr medical school". In 1963 the medical school was renamed "Academy of Medical and Health Services of the Bundeswehr" and in 1980 it moved to the Ernst-von-Bergmann barracks .

In 2005, the Munich Armed Forces School moved from the southern part of the property to a rented private property at Edmund-Rumpler-Straße 9 in Munich-Freimann .

Conversion

In 1999, the Luitpold barracks were given up as a military property and their buildings were rented until they were permanently used. New media and advertising companies have been based in the north since mid-2000.

The state capital Munich acquired the area in 2004 and is planning a mixed use for residential and commercial purposes in the long term.

The Werkbundsiedlung Wiesenfeld was to be built on the site , a housing estate initiated by the German Werkbund , which is in the tradition of the Werkbundsiedlungen . The project failed because the Munich City Council rejected the concept in 2007. In April 2010 the City Council of Munich decided on a new urban development competition for the site.

Listed parts

The individual building erected around 1900 at Schwere-Reiter-Strasse 4 with historical fencing along Schwere-Reiter-Strasse and Heßstrasse is now a listed building.
