Langelandsgade Kaserne

It was one of several barracks constructed in Aarhus in the late 19th century and was originally intended to house an artillery regiment.

Along with the main building there were stables, a workshop, an ammunition depot and homes for officers and the barracks commandant.

[3] [4] [5] During the occupation of Denmark during World War II, the barracks was confiscated by German military forces.

On 31 October 1944, the Gestapo headquarters in the nearby university buildings was bombed by the British Royal Air Force, and Langelandsgade Kaserne was severely damaged.

In 1978 the last military contingent, Jydske Telegrafregiment, moved to Fredericia, and only administrative staff remained until 1993, when Aarhus University took over the buildings.
