In 1938 barracks were built as a barracks in Kusel. After the Second World War , the Bundeswehr had a new barracks built in 1964, and on December 1, 1965, the Bundeswehr artillery troops moved into it. In 1966 the field artillery training battalion 310 was completely set up at the site. The barracks was last used by the Artillery Training Battalion 345 . There was also a branch of Army Repair Logistics GmbH on the site of the barracks . On October 26, 2011, Federal Defense Minister Thomas de Maizière ( CDU ) announced the 2011 deployment concept , which included the closure of the Kusel site. At the end of 2014, the barracks were given up by the Bundeswehr. Since 2015 there has been an initial reception center for asylum seekers on the site, which housed around 450 people at the beginning of 2018. Since January 2019, the Ministry of Defense has been checking whether the barracks should be reactivated and used as a location for Heeresinstandsetzunglogistik GmbH and a rescue helicopter. The result of the examination is expected by the end of 2019.
