Maximilian barracks
The Maximilian barracks , formerly the artillery barracks , is the barracks of the hunting command of the Austrian Armed Forces in Wiener Neustadt , Fischauer Gasse 66.
building
The barracks were built between 1909 and 1911 for the Austro-Hungarian Army according to the plans of the architects Siegfried Theiss and Hans Jaksch . The long, monumental building with a mighty central projectile and two side projections has a neoclassical facade with a rich plastic structure. There are tropaion reliefs with depictions of different weapons and armor. In the gable of the central risalit a sculpture with a double-headed eagle and an Austrian imperial crown.
history
The artillery barracks were occupied by field cannon regiment No. 9, which was relocated from Vienna to Wiener Neustadt. The barracks were later named after Emperor Maximilian I (1459–1519), the founder of the Austrian artillery. Today the barracks are used by the Jagdkommando. In 2009 the courtyard behind was sold as a partial area with 62,000 m² with the halls for weapons and ammunition, with equipment for transport and communication, with workshops and sports fields. There is no information about the buyer or the purchase price. The listed main building turned out to be unsaleable and is to remain the seat of the hunting command. After the liquidation of a tank destroyer battalion and an artillery regiment, the equipment in the sold yard is relocated to the nearby airfield barracks, whereby the costs for the necessary structures for this deployment are financed from the sales proceeds. On the courtyard side, after Vienna, Graz and Klagenfurt, the fourth central kitchen of the Austrian armed forces has been built for 23 barracks in Lower Austria and 2 barracks in northern Burgenland .
Semi-detached houses, terraced houses and apartments will be built in the sold property area.
