Pioneer Kaserne
Pioneer Kaserne home to the 130th Combat Engineer Brigade, got its name from the original German Pioniere (Engineers) who inhabited the post until 1945. It was first built during the 1930s. Pioneer Kaserne was built under Hilter's regime between 1938 and 1939. It was occupied by the German Railroad Recruiting and Training Battalions of the 3rd German Railroad Regiment. In 1944 and 1945 the kaserne was damaged by an allied aerial bombardment and was later attacked by artillery fire. It was reestablished by municipal construction agencies organized by the US Government. Pioneer Kaserne now houses the majority of the facilities for the support and welfare of military personnel and their family members.
