Salzstadelkaserne
The Salzstadelkaserne , according to temporarily stationed there hunters also Jägerkaserne called, was an infantry - barracks of the Bavarian army in Munich . The barracks was initially intended as a temporary measure, but existed for over 40 years.
Building and location
A 1780 built granary near Munich Central was after 1848 to Salzstadelkaserne. The area was north of the railroad tracks, between today's Starnberg wing station and Seidlstrasse. Arnulfstrasse now runs there. It got its name from the royal salt barn in the immediate vicinity of the barracks .
The building with a ground floor and an upper floor was about 50 meters long. Initially, the building was estimated to have a capacity of 800 men, but this estimate was later corrected to a maximum of 500 men. In line with its earlier use, the building had neither kitchens nor toilets. Field kitchens and latrines , as well as two wells, were therefore set up next to the building on land owned by the city.
Usage history
The makeshift barracks became necessary when the military presence in Munich was increased after the unrest in 1848 . In 1849 the building was acquired by the garrison . From 1851 the Salzstadelkaserne was occupied with the 6th Jäger Battalion , after its relocation from 1862 to 1867 with the 4th Jäger Battalion . After brief occupation by a battalion of the 2nd Infantry Regiment "Kronprinz" , companies of the 1st Infantry Regiment "König" moved into the barracks in 1873 . The makeshift conditions remained the same as at the time the barracks were set up; protests on the part of the city and the citizens had no effect. In 1889 the War Ministry was informed that the area would be needed for a post office. The soldiers of the 1st Infantry Regiment finally moved to the Marsfeldkaserne in 1890 after the railway pioneers stationed there had been moved to the new railway barracks . The former granary was demolished after more than 40 years of makeshift military use, but not a post office building, as announced, but the Arnulfstrasse, which still exists today.
