Complex of Barracks in Klaipėda (now Klaipėda University buildings)
Military town

Although the complex of barracks in Klaipėda was a military facility, today the barracks have been converted by the University of Klaipėda for its own use, and the former military campus preserves multiple remnants of its military past.
The barracks were built in 1904–1907 under a contract between the Magistrate of Klaipėda and the Prussian Military Administration. The finished barracks complex (architect unknown) consisted of eight main (brick) buildings, six of which have survived to date, and a wooden auxiliary building. The two main buildings were intended for the accommodation of soldiers. Sub-lieutenants and lieutenants used to live in the buildings along what is now Herkaus Manto Street.
From 1907 to 1914, the barracks housed the 3rd Battalion of the 41st “von Boyen” infantry Regiment, which fought on the Eastern Front during World War I and, in 1916, at the famous Battle of Verdun. From 1919–1920, the barracks were used by the volunteer battalion of the 41st Infantry Regiment of the Prussian Volunteer Corps, which was being formed at the time, as well as one battalion of the 223rd Regiment and one battalion of the 103rd Regiment that were sent to Klaipėda. From 1920–1923, the barracks belonged to the 21st Infantry Riflemen Battalion of the French Army, from 1923–1934 – to the 7th Infantry Regiment of the Duke of Žemaitija Butigeidis of the Lithuanian Army, and from 1934–1939 – to the 6th Regiment of the Duke of Pilėnai Margiris. The former military town can only be seen from the outside.
