Tompkins Barracks Schwetzingen

A Panzer Kaserne for Panzer Regiment 23, designed by Dieter Lang and Fritz Schmitt, was built outside the town of Schwetzingen in 1937-38. The U.S. Army occupied this post as Tompkins Barracks from 1945-2013. These photos show the main gate building.  (Gerdy Troost, “Das Bauen im neuen Reich,” Vol. 2, Bayreuth, 1943)
