Mickl barracks

The Mickl barracks is an abandoned barracks of the Austrian Armed Forces in the town of Bad Radkersburg in Styria and is a listed building .

history

On June 7, 2005 the Council of Ministers, based on the report of the Armed Forces Reform Commission, decided on a new organizational structure for the Armed Forces. Barracks were closed and properties were sold. On 30 September 2008, the second company went from Infantry Battalion 17 of Bad Radkersburg in the Archduke Johann barracks in Castle Strasbourg to Strass in Steiermark .

The barracks were taken over in 2013 by the municipality, which had the right of first refusal, from Sivbeg. In 2015, the building was offered to the Ministry of the Interior as quarters for temporary refugee reception. This offer was not accepted. It was reactivated in return for the armed forces for border security, which was established as a result of the closure of the Balkan route .

architecture

The main front of the simple main building faces the Plaschenaustrasse with a somewhat set back central wing with a simple entrance portal with the imperial double-headed eagle and the year 1910. A stone block on the right in front of the entrance names the namesake Lieutenant Johann Mickl as the military leader of volunteers in the southern Styrian defensive battle from 1919 to 1919 1920.
