The cavalry barracks beside the large parade ground (later the airfield) were built within a year and handed over in 1903. After the end of the Second World War they housed Soviet servicemen until the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Austria in 1955; the subsequent repair works lasted until 1961. The barracks were then used by Austrian army units; the last of them was disbanded in 2007, and in 2012 the barracks were sold.

Кавалерийская казарма у большого учебного плаца (позднее аэродрома) построена за один год и сдана в 1903 году. После окончания Второй мировой войны в ней размещались советские военнослужащие — до вывода советских войск из Австрии в 1955 году; восстановительные работы после этого продолжались до 1961 года. Затем казарму занимали части австрийской армии; последняя из них расформирована в 2007 году, а в 2012 году казарма продана.
