Location of the Reich President Ebert barracks in Hamburg

The Reichspräsident-Ebert-Kaserne is a barracks of the Bundeswehr in Hamburg-Iserbrook . It was built from 1935 to 1937. Originally it was called Iserbrook-Kaserne , but since 1965 it has been named after Friedrich Ebert , the first Reich President of the Weimar Republic.

history

As part of the armament of the Wehrmacht , a former clinic site ("District Administrator Scheiff Hospital") in Hamburg-Iserbrook was converted and expanded for military use from the mid-1930s and initially used by air defense units of the Air Force.

During the occupation by the British Army of the Rhine after the Second World War , the barracks were called Reading Barracks and used by various units of the "Labor Service".

The Bundeswehr began taking over the site in 1957 and completed it on April 1, 1958. A large number of different units and offices were stationed here during use by the Bundeswehr. The more important are the Federal Armed Forces College , which has been stationed there since 1958 , the Hamburg State Command and the Federal Armed Forces command academy, which is temporarily stationed there .

Monument protection

Some parts of the barracks buildings have been under protection since the new version of the Hamburg Monument Protection Act in 2013. Many of the current buildings date from the time the barracks were built, some buildings in the southern part are older and were originally built as clinics in the 1900s. Overall, the building fabric is considered to have changed little and in many places still shows the architectural decoration typical of the time of construction.

The service apartments built in connection with the barracks on Lachmannweg and Osdorfer Landstraße are also under monument protection.
