The Ernst-von-Bergmann-Kaserne, before called Warner Kaserne by the US Army (1950-1968), it is a military facility in Munich, Germany, which was built by the architect Oswald Bieber between 1934 and 1936. The current name was given in honor of professor Ernst von Bergmann.
The original name of the barracks was Kaserne "München-Freimann [1] ". Until the end of World War II the barracks were primarily used by the SS-Standarte 1 "Deutschland". After the war the UNRRA used the buildings as a displaced persons camp.
When the barracks were acquired by the U.S. Army in 1950, they were renamed to Warner Kaserne. The huge main building (earlier on number 1701; today number 1) was the second largest after the Pentagon, which was used by the U.S. Army. [2]
