Across the street from the Garde-Ulanen-Kaserne, you might catch a glimpse of its bright yellow brick facade. The Garde-Ulanen-Kaserne stands as a testament to Potsdam’s rich military past. Constructed between 1861 and 1879, this grand edifice originally housed the soldiers of the Prussian Army’s 3rd Garde-Ulanen-Regiment. Imagine the clatter of hooves and the gleam of polished sabres as these elite cavalrymen went about their day. After the First World War, the Garde-Ulanen-Kaserne transitioned from a place of military drills to one of civilian use. However, its time as a haven for peace was short-lived. With the rise of the Nazi regime in 1933, the building was repurposed and renamed “Hindenburgkaserne.” It once again echoed with the marching boots of soldiers – this time, those of the newly formed Wehrmacht. After the Second World War, the Garde-Ulanen-Kaserne continued its journey through history, serving as a base for the Soviet forces stationed in Germany. Today, the Garde-Ulanen-Kaserne has been meticulously restored. It stands as a symbol of Potsdam’s resilience and adaptability.
