Focus on two bridges: urgent problems in the paratrooper barracks!
In the paratroopers' Zweibrück barracks, there are numerous problems that repeatedly come into public discussion. The SPD member of the Bundestag Angelika Glöckner has vehemently resisted allegations that she would insufficiently represent her constituency Südwestpfalz. In the last federal election, the SPD in Zweibrücken only reached almost 20 percent of the vote. The spokesman for the Zweibrück CDU, Pascal Dahler, criticized Glöckner's representation and asked the question of their efficiency in the region.
Since moving into the Bundestag in November 2014, Glöckner has visited the Niederauerbach barracks seven times. A central problem is the mold in the troop kitchen, which has been closed since 2016. The soldiers are supplied by the delivery of Essen from Lebach, which is then only heated in the barracks, which triggers displeasure with the soldiers.
Visiting the military officers and reactions
Glöckner turned to the military officer Dr. Eva Högl, who also made a visit to the barracks. The condition of the barracks was included in the report of the military officers with high priority. During a visit in 2022, the focus was also on moldy showers, which led to the creation of a letter to the responsible ministry.
Glöckner himself visited the accommodations and found that the rooms are both narrow and not inviting. She shared these findings with Defense Minister Boris Pistorius. However, a announced visit to the minister in the barracks fell into the water due to the federal election. Despite these complications, Glöckner remains in contact with Pistorius and continues to work for the interests of the soldiers in Zweibrücken.
Financial support of the federal soldiers
As part of her political work, Glöckner approved the special fund of defense of 500 billion euros. These funds are said to have positive effects on the infrastructural conditions in the Zweibrück barracks and ultimately improve the living conditions of the soldiers stationed there. The project is in the context of larger new buildings and infrastructure measures, which the Bundeswehr sought in the future, as on bundeswehr.de is.Due to these measures and political initiatives, there is hope that the barracks in Zweibrücken will soon be back in a state that meets the demands and needs of the soldiers.
