Guided Story
Can you feel the echoes of history around you? Right here, the grand Gelbe Kaserne once stood, its yellow brick facade a beacon of the past. Look east, where the Kennedy Park now stretches; that was once the parade ground bustling with soldiers. It's said that during World War I, this place was a training ground for many young men heading into battle. Turn northwest, towards the church of St. Fronleichnam, and imagine the community that lived here, intertwined with the life of the barracks. Though the stones are gone, their stories linger in the air.
