Sønderborg Kaserne ( German  barracks Sonderburg ) is a barracks complex on Als Sund in Sønderborg . It was built from 1905 to 1907 according to plans by Adalbert Kelm and Eugen Fink.

history

In 1890 almost the entire maneuver and training fleet of the German Imperial Navy took part in a combined maneuver of the navy and army in the vicinity of Sønderborg . From 1905 to 1907, the Sønderborg barracks were built, which served as the Imperial Ship Artillery School and Rifle Barracks . The architects were Eugen Fink and Adalbert Kelm, who was also responsible for the construction plans of the Mürwik Naval School , which was built from 1907 to 1910 . A naval hospital was built in the vicinity of the Sonderborg barracks from 1908 to 1909.

The construction of the Mürwik Naval School is inspired by the Marienburg . Sønderborg Kaserne shows a certain resemblance to these two buildings, which is why it resembles a fortress . In addition, the Sønderborg barracks had a certain resemblance to the shape of the former torpedo school in Flensburg - Mürwik , which no longer exists in its original form. On the tower of the Sønderborg barracks there is still a Viking ship as a wind direction indicator , similar to what was apparently the case with the Tirpitz barracks.

On April 1, 1907, the Imperial Ship Artillery School was opened. The resulting complex was not just a school, but a small naval station. Two ships, the SMS Mars (1877) and from 1910 the SMS Danzig (1905) , were assigned to the location. With the stationing of the Imperial Navy, the city gained considerable economic importance and the population of Sønderborg doubled.

The Imperial Ship Artillery School existed until the end of the First World War . In November 1918, in the Navy station broke the November Revolution , which under Bruno pot- prevailed. Shortly afterwards the Imperial Ship Artillery School was relocated to Kiel-Wik .

Danish time

After the referendum of 1920 , Sønderborg came to Denmark. The Sønderborg barracks then served the Danish army as a non-commissioned school. The barracks were used by the Danish army until the 2010s. In 2014 the municipality of Sønderborg acquired the barracks. The barracks initially served the municipality as a home for asylum seekers . Parts of the facility were sold at the end of 2018, and since 2019 there has been a hotel there. The remaining parts are to be used as club premises.
