Bâtiment d'honneur de l'Hôpital Lyautey
1 rue des Canonniers, 67100 Strasbourg
The Lyautey Military Hospital was located on part of the site of the artillery barracks (Neue Feldartilleriekaserne) of the Neuhof. This barracks was built between 1907 and 1910\. It is the last one built during the Reichsland period.
The city of Strasbourg made available to the imperial army a vast land of 13 hectares near the exercise ground of the Polygone; land exchanged for the former barracks of Austerlitz (between the street of the Orphans and the street Jacques-Peirotes). The construction was entrusted to the architect of the city, Edouard Schimpf, who erected a group of buildings whose entrance body, then decorated with two cannons, overlooks the road of the Neuhof.
After 1918, French troops occupied the barracks. At the Liberation of 1945, a field hospital was set up in the northern part of the former barracks. It later became the hospital of the Lyautey armies and closed in 1996.
Definitively freed from its military and hospital use in 2008, the 2.3-hectare site has welcomed
