Description

Introduction

Building 7 stands detached in a wooded environment, somewhat remote between numbers 6, 8 and 9, on the southeast side of the northern section of the southernmost split on Groot-Heidekamp. The roof ridge runs roughly from southsouthwest to northnortheast. Building 6 is a barrack barracks created in 1940-1941 as a 'Regelbau' and is at macro level part of a large military airfield structure from the years 1940-1945, at meso level of a sparse complex of buildings placed in a green-village-like arrangement, and within this at micro level of a cluster of loosely grouped buildings.

Valuation

BARRACKS BARRACKS, of general importance as a clearly recognizable component of a military camp dating from the Second World War and set up by the German occupier as part of a large military airfield, by virtue of: architectural-historical, urban planning, military and cultural-historical and complex and ensemble values, which can be demonstrated among other things in the traditionalist building style inspired by local forms, in the components and details characteristic of the building period, in the artificially created green-village structure and the camouflage carried through to the finest details, in the coherence of and with the total military airfield concept and the spatial main lines and components of the encampment, and in the mutual relationship of the forms applied herein.
