I love this place! I first bumped into it 2 years ago while looking for a place to eat around… and got impressed with its size. I went back with my band to record a music video there last summer. The last floor of the main building is something special and we got lucky to get some beautiful light coming thru. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ND7QK8Ur4K0

We went there on 24.07.2022 (Sunday). It was a bit hard to access through the forest (at least the part we tried). We found a open part in the wall, but the way to the place had very high grass and little visibility. So we left and tried through Village (Lidl) way. The fence is rebuild and not possible to access, as there is a construction going on. We then kept walking and the main gate was open. We enter through main gate and it was very easy to access it (although I can imagine it is quite hard if it is not Sunday, as construction people might be around). The place is super nice and there were also other people exploring it. In the end, a person with white van came to say to us this was a private place, please leave, but he was quite ok and friendly. If you want to go, try to do it on Sunday, so you might find the main way open. It is super easy then! It’s a must go

Extremely easy to access from all possible sides (but preferably from the hiking trail, where the trees are and collapsed parts of a wall).

Nevertheless there was a bunch (two dozens at least) of school children hiding in one of the buildings, and as i was approaching my exit site, police came to snatch them as they ran out like swarm to make their escape. I’ve managed to be off their faces, but the kids weren’t so lucky. So just be aware of the fact that there’s some patrolling going on.

Other than that – GLORIOUS place.

Date of visit: 28/11/2021
All the buildings have been cleared from any remnant objects of the past era due to the advancing construction works. It is still worth visiting thanks to the wonderful graffitis and a few remaining Soviet decorations. You should definitely go up to the very top floor of the main building and search for the basketball court to enjoy its wonderful echo effect. The rooftop is accessible from that very point through a tight tunnel with a staircase. It is a little bit dangerous, although manageable 🙂
There is some sort of primitive alarm in one of the side buildings. Nothing to be really worried about. The construction workers are not there on the weekend.
It is a piece of cake to get inside. Difficulty rate: 1/10, but be quick! A new shopping mall could soon arise instead of the Panzer Kaserne :/

08.08.2021 News: Open and easy to enter. Great place for very good graffiti art, new pieces since we were there in 2018. Easy to enter from the Lidl parking lot.

In reply to Anonymous. I can confirm that! Some of the most beautiful graffiti I have ever seen and very easy to access.

11.06.21 Report! Its open and easy to enter.
I wanted to be cool and cut through the woods on my way from the Sbahn and it felt like the worst possible woods to cut through. Very tall plants and dry spikey things everywhere. I later saw that it is much easier to access from the northern side where the Lidl is.
So the fencing is really weak. The doors are open. The place is clean and the art is beautiful. I spotted a blue van drive in the area but I could not tell what they did. Some heavy-duty machines are nearby but they don’t seem to be eager to tear things down.

Went there today and it was amazing! took awesome pictures. It seems as if it is going to be demolished pretty soon because things are getting cleaned and up most of the tress are cut. Small buildings are already torn down.

I went yesterday. Still easy to get in, but looks as though they are planning to demolish it. They had cut down all the trees, demolished some smaller buildings and taken out all the fittings (window frames etc). If you want to see it get in quick!
