Investments in military-related facilities have always had important ideological connotations. When studying the styles of barracks complexes in Eastern Europe, one can notice two main periods of heightened militarism and identify two related style trends. The large-scale barracks built in the 1880s represent a style infused with national romanticism. In Prussia, for example, it is Rundbogenstil, which legitimizes monarchical power and is represented by the barracks designs of Karl Friedrich Schinkel. As a result of the defeat in World War I, this style is compromised by its association with the Dolchstoss myth. With the beginning of the 1930s, the tendency to build extensive barracks complexes intensifies again. The buildings erected at that time reflect the tendency to modernize architecture. They are characterized by economy, functional and hygienic layout of rooms and a cubic style. This ideal shines through, for example, the search for a new barracks design carried out in the 1920s in the Second Polish Republic, where modernism had grown into a national style. This tendency is also evident in German barracks, such as those in Wrocław, designed by Otto Salvisberg, and Swiss barracks in Lucerne, designed by Armin Meili. However, due to the tightening of the nationalist rhetoric by the ruling NSDAP, as witnessed by the "Entartete Kunst" exhibition held in Munich in 1937, the international style is rejected in Germany, which was unprecedented at the time. A new style is sought, and the Heimatstil based on vernacular patterns developed in the 1870s fits in with the populist inclinations of the Third Reich. As a result, the design of barracks complexes sees a return to a simplified historicizing style, which then gives way to buildings that represent the biased national style of Heimatschutz, expressiing the polarization of public discourse along the lines of: cosmopolitan "them" and domestic "us" [1].
