Originally the barracks were designed to accommodate two infrantry battalions and a regiment staff. The site comprised of a northern and a southern part as well as a distant eastern part. Construction works in the northern part - designed to accommodate one infantry battalion - started first. The follwing buildings were constructed: accommodation building for battalion staff (no. 22), four accommodation buildings for infantry companies (no. 20, 23, 29 and 32), two kitchens (no. 21 and 30), horse stables (no. 33-35), a riding house (no. 31), a smithy (no. 37), an armory (no. 25) and kennels (no. 35a).
In a second construction phase buildings in the southern and eastern part were constructed - designed to accommodate another infantry battalion, two infantry companies and regiment staff. These were: accommodation building for battalion staff (no. 1), six accommodation buildings for infantry companies (no. 2, 3, 5, 16, 17 and 18), two kitchens (no. 4 and 17), accommodation building for regiment staff (no. 40) and various functional buildings.
All accommodation buildings had a rectangular floor plan and a hipped roof. The outer appearance of the buildings in the northern and southern part differed - buildings in the northern part mainly had a gable lucarne for the stairway.
Over the years a technical area in the south (no. 44-51 and 54) was added as well as some other buildings all over the whole site.
