Description

Introduction

Building 3 stands detached on the west side of the eastern north-south running lane on Vrijland-Noord, approximately to the east of building 18. The roof ridge is oriented east-west and stands perpendicular to the road. Building 3 is an administrative building created in 1941 as a 'Sonderbau', 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 in a rectangular-geometric structure, and at micro level one of several buildings placed in direct connection with that spatial structure in linear arrangement.

Valuation

MILITARY ADMINISTRATIVE BUILDING, of general importance as a recognisable component of a military camp originating from the Second World War and established by the German occupier as part of a large military airfield, by reason of: architectural-historical, urban-planning, military and cultural-historical and complex and ensemble values, which among others may be evident from the traditionalist building style inspired by local forms, from the components and details characteristic of the construction period, from the artificially created and strongly geometrically organised settlement structure that closely follows the pre-existing spatial arrangement and the camouflage carried through in its details within this structure, from the coherence with and within the total military airfield concept and the spatial main lines and components of the camp, and from the mutual relationship of the forms applied in this.
