Description

Introduction

The roof ridge extends broadly from southeast to northwest and is perpendicular to the dead-end road. Building 19 is a military barrack created in 1940-1941 as a 'Regelbau' and at macro level forms part of a large military airfield structure from the years 1940-1945, at meso level part of a sparse complex of buildings arranged partly in linear and partly in hamlet-like arrangement, and within this at micro level part of a loosely grouped cluster of buildings.

Valuation

MILITARY BARRACK, of general importance as a well recognisable component of a military camp dating from the Second World War and established 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 may be evidenced inter alia by the traditionalist building style inspired by local forms, by the components and details characteristic of the building period, by the artificially established hamlet-like structure and the camouflage carried through to detail, by the coherence of and with the total military airfield concept and the spatial main lines and components of the camp, and by the mutual relationship of the forms applied herein.
