GermanyМайнинген1945–1991Military sites
The main (town) barracks at the end of Lindenallee in Meiningen were built in 1866–1867, with ancillary blocks added in 1872–1873 and 1937. In early July 1945, after the departure of American units, they were taken over by Soviet troops, who remained for more than forty years, until 1991. In 1993 the state of Thuringia bought about 3 of the site's 5.2 hectares; in 1995–2000 the old barrack building was restored and extended with new wings to a design by KBK Architekten, and in 2001 the regional court moved in. The site also houses the police inspectorate and a Bundesbank branch.
Главная (городская) казарма в конце Линденаллее в Майнингене построена в 1866–1867 годах, вспомогательные корпуса добавлены в 1872–1873 и 1937 годах. В начале июля 1945 года, после ухода американских частей, её заняли советские войска, остававшиеся здесь более сорока лет, до 1991 года. В 1993 году земля Тюрингия купила около 3 из 5,2 гектара территории; в 1995–2000 годах по проекту бюро KBK старое казарменное здание отреставрировали и дополнили новыми корпусами, а в 2001 году сюда переехал земельный суд. На участке работают также полицейская инспекция и филиал Бундесбанка.
