East Prussia Barracks (Hesse)
East Prussia barracks

Location of the East Prussia barracks in Hesse

The East Prussian barracks was a barracks of the German armed forces in Homberg (Efze) , in which supply, replenishment and repair units of the Panzer Grenadier Brigade 5 and between 1981 and 1992 the partially active Panzer Grenadier Battalion 51 were housed. The barracks was named after the Prussian province of East Prussia . It covered 20.1 hectares. After the civilian conversion of the areas, parts of the barracks were demolished, other areas were used for the generation of solar energy.

Construction and usage history

After the city of Homberg / Efze had already tried to station the Bundeswehr in 1955 and the construction of a barracks had been approved by both the Federal Minister of Defense and the Hessian state government in 1957, the first barracks could be built on September 20, 1961 , the later Dörnberg barracks , will be occupied by the staff of Panzergrenadierbrigade 5 and the field artillery battalion 55. It was already clear at this point that these barracks had insufficient capacity to accommodate the supply battalion 56 of the Armored Infantry Brigade 5, which was planned for the Homberg / Efze location. It should follow if space is still available on site.

By 1967 there were 7 accommodation buildings, 1 staff building, 1 farm building and more than 20 technical buildings on an area south of the city, which adjoined the existing Dörnberg barracks to the west and was only separated from it by Kreisstraße 36 to Waßmuthshausen , Sports facilities, 1 classroom building and various other facilities. On July 12, 1967, the barracks were handed over to the Bundeswehr and at the same time named "East Prussia Barracks".

This enabled the supply battalion 56 to move in. This unit was set up on March 1, 1959 as part of Army Structure 2, according to which the brigades should have their own supply battalion. It was initially stationed in the Georg Friedrich barracks in Fritzlar , with the 2nd company having already moved to the Dörnberg barracks on September 20, 1961. But already with the capture of Army Structure 3, the supply battalions of the brigades were disbanded again. As a result, on March 30, 1972, the supply company 50 emerged from 4th / Supply Battalion 56, which was subordinate to Panzergrenadierbrigade 5 and remained stationed in the East Prussian barracks. Then, on July 1, 1972, the repair company 50 was formed from the 3rd Company of Supply Battalion 56, which was set up on April 1, 1959. It was also assigned to the 5th Panzer Grenadier Brigade. On October 1, 1972, the Supply Battalion 56 was finally disbanded.

In the East Prussia barracks, the Panzerjäger Company 50 was reorganized on April 1, 1976. This had become necessary because the Panzerjägerkompanie previously in the Pomeranian barracks in Wolfhagen had been renamed Panzerjägerkompanie 340 in the course of the testing of Army Structure 4 and placed under Panzerbrigade 34. The new Panzerjägerkompanie 50 remained in Homberg / Efze until it was dissolved on March 31, 1992.

Army Structure 4 brought about the formation of Panzer Grenadier Battalion 51 (partially active) on October 1, 1980 in the East Prussia barracks. The battalion's 1st company was directly subordinate to the 5th Panzer Grenadier Brigade and was also stationed in the East Prussian barracks. The 2nd Company was assigned to the Panzer Grenadier Battalion 52 and was based in the Alheim barracks in Rotenburg an der Fulda . The 3rd Company was subordinate to the Panzer Grenadier Battalion 53 and was housed in the Georg Friedrich barracks in Fritzlar . The 4th Company belonged to the tank battalion 54 and was stationed in the Blücher barracks . On September 30, 1992, the Panzer Grenadier Battalion 51 was disbanded again. The 3rd / Field Replacement Battalion 105 was stored as a device unit in the barracks in the 1980s.

After the end of the Cold War, the Luftwaffe gave a brief interlude in the East Prussian barracks. In August 1990, the 4th squadron of the anti-aircraft missile squadron 38 moved to Homberg. Their deployment position was now on the Semmelberg in the municipality of Knüllwald ( 50 ° 55 '37 "  N , 9 ° 29" 59 "  E ). The squadron was set up on August 1, 1959 as Luftwaffe anti-aircraft battalion 46 in Nörvenich . On August 1, 1962, the staff moved first, and from February 15, 1964 also the batteries, to the Haus Hardt barracks . But already on July 1, 1965, the name was changed to Air Defense Missile Battalion 38. At the end of 1965 the battalion moved to Alt Duvenstedt-Krummenort near Rendsburg . The third battery was stationed in Windbergen ( 54 ° 2 ′ 17 ″  N , 9 ° 33 ′ 0 ″  E ), while the fourth battery was initially stationed in Krummenort ( 54 ° 20 ′ 15 ″  N , 9 ° 35 ′ 14 ″  E) ), 1967 to Schafstedt ( 54 ° 4 ′ 33 ″  N , 9 ° 18 ′ 40 ″  E ) and finally 1970 to Wesselburener Deichhausen ( 54 ° 10 ′ 5 ″  N , 8 ° 57 ′ 4 ″  E ). The battalion itself received the Wulf-Isebrand-Kaserne in Heide as a new location on October 7, 1967. In the course of taking Air Force Structure 3, it was renamed to Flugabwehrraketengeschwader 38 on October 1, 1989. The batteries became squadrons. On April 1, 1990 the subordination to anti-aircraft missile command 4 took place. In August 1990, the entire squadron moved to new locations in North Rhine-Westphalia and Hesse. The squadron and its staff were in Burbach (Siegerland) . The 3rd season first came to Lich ( 50 ° 33 ′ 33 ″  N , 8 ° 48 ′ 50 ″  E ). On January 1, 1993, the squadron was renamed Antiaircraft Missile Group 38. In November 1993 the 3rd squadron gave up the Lich location and also relocated to Homberg in the East Prussia barracks. But already on December 31, 1995 the deactivation of the 3rd and 4th seasons followed and their conversion into device units as the new 5th and 6th seasons. They were finally disbanded on December 31, 2001. A year later, the entire anti-aircraft missile group 38 followed their fate.

With Army Structure 5, on April 1, 1993, Repair Company 50 became the 4th Company of Repair Battalion 51, with a new location in the Herrenwald barracks in Stadtallendorf . The supply company 50 became 9/Nachschubbataillon 51 on April 1, 1993, but remained in the East Prussia barracks. On October 1, 1996, it was reclassified as an equipment unit at the location to 2./Nachschubbataillon 52. On June 30, 2003, this unit was finally dissolved.

Medical area 44/1 in the East Prussia barracks was equipped with medical supplies between July 1, 1972 and June 30, 1997, and medical center 405 was set up from April 1, 1986 to September 30, 1996. The dental station (Terr) H 429 existed from July 1, 1973 and was reclassified to the 405/1 dentist group on April 1, 1981, which was finally dissolved on December 31, 1998.

The Catholic local pastor Homberg was deployed between May 1, 1955 and June 30, 2007. The barracks commander and support staff worked here from October 1, 1981 to December 31, 2005.

The site had a training area with a total area of ​​approx. 300 hectares on which the site shooting range 441/2 between April 1, 1972 and November 30, 2000, the anti-aircraft training range for all troops 441/2 between October 1, 1975 and November 31, 2000 October 2005 as well as the local ammunition defeat 441/5 between April 1, 1981 and September 30, 2000. In addition, the location telecommunications system 415/122 existed.

The East Prussia barracks were closed on December 31, 2005.

conversion

A study carried out by the German Armed Forces for the Hessian Ministry of Economics, Transport and Regional Development in 2005 on the re-use of the former military properties confirmed that the site, which became vacant in January 2006, was in a mediocre to good structural condition. A damage assessment and a redevelopment concept had already been made for the sewage network, but had not yet been implemented. However, the study came to the conclusion that the East Prussia barracks should not be used or developed. This was justified on the one hand by the reluctant commercial demand in the region and a forecast negative demographic development for the Schwalm-Eder district, which meant that the development policy of the municipalities would have to be geared towards securing the continued existence of commercial settlements and only extremely moderate expansion. Since the existing Knüllwald-Remsfeld industrial area with a direct motorway connection to the federal motorway 7 still has capacity and an approximately 48-hectare intermunicipal industrial area Homberg / Knüllwald / Schwarzenborn is also being planned, development of the East Prussia barracks was not recommended. The study strongly warned against splitting individual parts of the barracks. The study advised against designating the barracks area or only partial areas for settlement purposes such as residential, commercial, services or special uses. Neither the takeover of the infrastructure nor the land should be transferred to communal ownership. Rather, it is not unlikely that "the East Prussia barracks will not be able to be used in the foreseeable future and will remain fallow as a military site". Therefore, even a dismantling of the barracks at the expense of the federal government should be considered.

After abandoning the East Prussian barracks, the Federal Agency for Real Estate Tasks initially took over the marketing of the barracks areas.

In 2008 the 48th Hessentag took place in Homberg from June 6th to 15th. The Hessentagsarena was set up in the heart of the East Prussia barracks on an open-air site between the former accommodation buildings. Herbert Grönemeyer, Die Ärzte and the Classic Rock Open Air with Journey, Kansas and REO Speedwagon performed.

On December 11, 2008, the city council of Homberg (Efze) passed the resolution to draw up the development plan no. 60 "Industrial area former East Prussia barracks".

In 2009 the city of Homberg / Efze signaled its intention to acquire the barracks areas of the Dörnberg and East Prussia barracks. The Federal Real Estate Agency then stopped its marketing efforts and granted the city a right of first refusal on the areas. The acquisition of the land by the city turned out to be difficult and delayed.

On November 18, 2010, the city council of Homberg (Efze) passed the resolution to draw up the development plan no. 61 “Special area photovoltaics”. The subject matter was the designation of areas of the former training area for the construction of solar systems. At the same time, it was decided to draw up a further development plan No. 62 for a special area of ​​photovoltaics north and south of the former site shooting range. Planning services were later awarded for this. The procedure was finally put on hold, so that a resolution by the articles of association has not yet come about.

On December 15, 2011, the city council decided to examine the purchase of the barracks from the Federal Agency for Real Estate Tasks by a working group and to prepare further steps such as the purchase of the land and the marketing of the area. In February 2012 the then mayor of Homberg (Efze) confirmed his intention to purchase the barracks from the federal government. Those interested in business settlements were invited by the working group.

On April 4, 2012, the city council decided by a majority to purchase an 18-hectare section of the Bundeswehr site for a purchase price of 500,000 euros plus 50,000 euros in ancillary costs from the federal government to clear the way for the construction of a photovoltaic system. An investor from Munich had agreed to lease the property from the city for 75,000 euros a year. The decision was controversial. The purchase should be handled by the Hessische Landgesellschaft.

On June 12, 2012, the development plan no. 61 "Special area photovoltaics" was approved. It came into force on July 12th. In mid-July 2012, work began on setting up the photovoltaic system. At the end of September 2012, the solar park was accepted by the energy network operator. A company from Tauberbischofsheim had meanwhile acquired the 7.5 megawatt system from the investor. A total of 11 million euros went into the construction of what was then the third largest system in Hesse with 30,000 solar modules. However, electricity generation and feed-in only began in January 2013. The public prosecutor's office in Kassel was concerned with the amount of the feed-in tariff, because it is higher for conversion areas, but the admissibility of such a classification of the special area of ​​photovoltaics was doubted. In this context, the Homberg town hall was searched in October 2013 in order to secure files relating to the process. It was not until November 2017 that a civil chamber at the Kassel Regional Court clarified that the properties located in the special area are conversion areas and that the system operator is entitled to the maximum feed-in tariff. The city thus received lease income for the past four years from the 20-year contract, which had acquired the land from the Hessische Landgesellschaft according to a resolution of the city council on November 5, 2015 for 422,000 euros.

On June 12, 2012, the city council of Homberg was finally presented with a decision on the entire acquisition of the remaining areas of the Dörnberg barracks, the entire East Prussia barracks and parts of the training area. After a controversial discussion, the majority of the committee finally voted to buy the former barracks. A citizens' initiative announced after the meeting that it would collect signatures for a petition against the acquisition of the barracks. The mayor at the time rejected the criticism of the purchase and emphasized that 100 jobs could be created by the settlement of businesses for the pyrolysis of used tires, for an algae cultivation and other companies. A total acquisition of the land is necessary in order to preserve the municipality's freedom of decision about the conversion. The municipal supervisory authorities viewed the planned purchase as not uncritical due to the resulting high financial obligations on the one hand and the budget situation of the city on the other. However, it was also certified that such an acquisition may be necessary for the development of a community.

The citizens' petition initiated by the city against the purchase of the barracks received around 2,000 support signatures. However, on August 30, 2012, the city council rejected public participation due to formal errors. An urgent application directed against this was rejected by the Kassel Administrative Court. On September 25, 2012, the Hessische Landgesellschaft bought the remaining areas of the Dörnberg barracks and the East Prussia barracks with the shooting range and parts of the training area with a total of 47 hectares on behalf of the city of Homberg / Efze by the Hessische Landgesellschaft from the Federal Agency for Real Estate Tasks for 1.3 million euros. Funding of EUR 1.75 million was promised for the conversion of the space. The purchase of the site before the decision on the referendum in the main proceedings was criticized by the Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen parliamentary group in the city council. It was planned to designate around 20 hectares as business park and 21 hectares as industrial area. The city of Homberg / Efze should develop the areas and receive funding for this from the ERDF program. On November 1, 2012, the area was handed over from the Federal Agency for Real Estate Tasks to the Hessische Landgesellschaft. At this point in time, the first purchase contracts had already been concluded with third parties and negotiations were being carried out with other interested parties.

In November 2012 it became known that the regional council Gießen was interested in renting the East Prussian barracks to accommodate up to 400 refugees. The city council reacted on December 14, 2012 by taking these considerations into account when drawing up the development plan no. 60. However, further developments should first be awaited before implementation measures could be initiated. Shortly afterwards, however, the city informed that the East Prussia barracks did not initially have to be prepared for the initial reception of asylum seekers. Nevertheless, capacities for 100 asylum seekers would be created, which the Schwalm-Eder district has to accept.

For the development plan no. 60 "Industrial area former East Prussia barracks", a new planning resolution was passed on December 14, 2012. In March and April 2013, citizens and those responsible for public affairs were involved at an early stage. On May 15, 2014, the city council passed the last necessary statutory resolution on the development plan, which essentially involved the designation of commercial areas in the East Prussian barracks. This was preceded by a resolution involving two city councils who were concerned about bias. The local authority therefore recommended that the vote be repeated. On June 26, 2014, the development plan finally came into force.

In June 2013 the city received the green light from the regional council of Kassel for the commercial settlement, which was supposed to serve the disposal of old tires by means of pyrolysis in the area of ​​the southern accommodation buildings as well as an algae cultivation in the shooting range of the East Prussia barracks. A total of 6.1 hectares of barracks should be converted to civilian use. Furthermore, an investor was interested in a 53,000 square meter area in the technical area of ​​the East Prussia barracks in order to build up the operational part of a tank scrapping company based in Thuringia. On May 15, 2014, the city council approved the sale at a price of 795,000 euros. At the same time, it was decided to sell land to another company for algae cultivation and pyrolysis for 200,000 euros. The tank scrapping company withdrew in August 2014 because it could not raise the capital required to acquire it. The city then declared that it would now aggressively market the areas elsewhere. What caused a stir in this context was that the mayor of Homberg (Efze), who had recently left office, acted as an advisor to this investor to the city after he had prepared the sale himself in office.

On July 15, 2013, services for the renovation of the infrastructure in the East Prussia and Dörnberg barracks were awarded. The rehabilitation of the sewage system in the barracks cost around 3 million euros. The renewal of the water and power supply as well as the traffic systems devoured another 2.5 million euros. Finally, 300,000 euros were spent on accompanying landscape measures. The work was completed in August 2015.

For the first time in September 2014, the Hessische Landgesellschaft, commissioned by the city of Homberg / Efze, reported to the city council about its marketing concept and the status of the conversion. Accordingly, the development costs in 2014 and 2015 alone amounted to a total of 5.6 million euros on the barracks areas. Only four purchase contracts were concluded for the land of the former East Prussia barracks.

On January 29, 2015, it was decided to set up the 1st amendment to the development plan no. 60 "Industrial area former East Prussia barracks". The public display and the participation of the public bodies took place in June and July 2015. On September 24, 2015, the planning decision was passed by the city council. However, the change did not take effect until August 17, 2017.

On December 17, 2015, the city council decided to approve the demolition of three accommodation buildings in the East Prussian barracks by the Hessian Landgesellschaft in order to create more marketable commercial areas. Another building was released for demolition in mid-2016. The work was carried out in 2016 and 2017.

In June 2016, after 2015, a Porsche meeting took place for the second time on the grounds of the East Prussia barracks. The vehicles should be drifted through the course. The resulting noise and stench led to protests from residents this time.

During the Corona crisis 2020, the former Hessentag area was rediscovered. The horseshoe-shaped open space in the middle of the East Prussia barracks has now been converted into a drive-in cinema with a 60 square meter LED screen. Another stage was used for open-air concerts with a participating audience sitting in their own vehicles.
