Maximilian-II-Kaserne

The Maximilian-II-Kaserne respectively Max-II-Kaserne was a military facility in Munich, Germany, which was completed in 1865.

[1] They were primarily used by some field artillery regiments and the 1st Train Detachment of the Bavarian army.

Between the World Wars the barracks were used by the Bavarian State Police,[2] and in Nazi Germany by the Kraftfahr-Ersatz-Abteilung 7 (Motor Reserve Detachment 7) and by the Kraftfahr-Ausbildungs-Abteilung 7 (Motor Training Detachment 7).

[3] The symmetrical main building with its 600 meters width was planned by the architect M. Berger,[4] and some facades were designed by Eduard Riedel.

Originally the Max-II-Kaserne was built in the rural North of the old town near the artillery training area Oberwiesenfeld[6] in the South of today's Leonrodplatz.
