Description

Introduction

Building 36 stands detached in a village-green-like planted area, roughly between numbers 33, 37 and 38, opposite a T-junction and on the north side of a slightly curved road oriented towards the northeast on Groot-Heidekamp. It is positioned close along this road with the roof ridge parallel to it. Building 36 is a military barracks created in 1940-1941 as a 'Regelbau' and at the macro level forms part of a large military airfield structure from the years 1940-1945, at the meso level of a sparse complex of buildings positioned partly in linear arrangement and partly in village-green-like arrangement, and within this at the micro level of a series of buildings positioned in a loose linear arrangement.
