history

A new wall, the Rheingauwall, was built around Mainz Neustadt . It was built in the New Prussian fortification manner and consisted of the cavaliers Prince Holstein and Hauptstein, Judensand , Fort Hartenberg , Gonsenheimer Tor and Mombacher Tor . In the Neustadt itself, some military buildings such as the Alice barracks (complex of the infantry body regiment "Grand Duchess" (3rd Grand Ducal Hessian) No. 117 , 1903), storage rooms for the military administration and the New Provision Office , as well as a garrison hospital in Rheinstrasse on the site of the first station of the Hessian Ludwigsbahn in Mainz and also a new cavalry barracks in Wallstrasse, the “New Golden Ross Barracks”. The barracks were occupied by the Magdeburg Dragoon Regiment No. 6 .

The barracks are located at Mombacher Strasse 66 and 68. House number 68 marks the team building of the “New Golden Ross Barracks” in the simple neo-renaissance style. It is a large, symmetrical, unplastered building made of yellow bricks. The mighty six-axis central projection is framed by two four-storey side wings. The protruding corner bay windows are four-axis. The building at number 66 is an outbuilding that housed the canteen. It is a small hipped roof building from 1913. To the former Rheingauwall and the tracks of the main train station there were several one-story brick buildings as part of the overall system until 2017. Today the ORN depot in Mainz is located on the site. Parts of the barracks are listed as individual monuments .
