Shortly after, in 1936, the foundations were laid for another barracks, situated between Vlother Strasse and Stadholz / Ulmenstrasse. Again, building of the barracks was completed in two years and in 1937, 2 batallions of the Infantry Regiment 58 moved in. The naming of the barracks ‘Stobbe Kaserne’ took place on 17.7.1938. Both barracks were named after commanders of the Infantry regiment 17, which was stationed in Herford during the First World War.
