HISTORIES & MISC. INFORMATION
 
HISTORY OF BAMBERG KASERNES

Source: IRONSIDES, 1st Armored Division newspaper, May 6, 1988
WARNER BARRACKS, Bamberg

Warner Barracks, which has the appearance of two large kasernes connected by a bridge, is actually the sum of many smaller garrisons that were joined together over time.

Lagarde Kaserne dates back to the 1890s and was occupied by a cavalry unit. The unit had its own riding school on post, in the area that is now occupied by the present-day PX, commissary, engineer billets and bowling center.

Later, a new Cavalry Kaserne was built in the area now occupied by the Pines Housing Area and the Officers Club. This kaserne later was named Panzer Kaserne.

In 1933, there was an increase of forces in Bamberg, and by 1936, the shape and size of twoday's Warner Barracks was fully realized with the construction of the Artillerie Kaserne, located in the vicinity of 3rd Brigade headquarters and the surrounding buildings.
