The Jäger barracks were built in 1929–1932 for the Austrian army; in 1938–1941 they were used by the Wehrmacht and then housed a military hospital. From April 1945 the barracks were used by Soviet troops; by 1950 they had largely been vacated, and a small Soviet detachment remained until 1955. After the withdrawal the barracks were renovated and from late 1955 again housed Austrian units; in 1967 they were named the Turba Barracks, and in 2014 they were sold.

Егерская казарма построена в 1929–1932 годах для австрийской армии; в 1938–1941 годах её использовал вермахт, затем в ней работал военный госпиталь. С апреля 1945 года казарму занимали советские войска; к 1950 году она была в основном освобождена, и до 1955 года в ней оставалось небольшое советское подразделение. После вывода войск казарма отремонтирована, с конца 1955 года в ней снова размещались австрийские части; в 1967 году она названа казармой Турбы, а в 2014 году продана.
