Schwabach O’Brien Barracks

Another Kaserne in the Nürnberg area was the Nachrichtenkaserne (Signals Post) in Schwabach. This post was built in 1936-37 for Signals Battalion 17. After the war it was used by the U.S. Army as O’Brien Barracks, but was returned to German control in the early 1990s. Many of the buildings have since been torn down, but some remain – the gate building on the left is now the city museum.
