4.2.2 Husum military airfield barracks, Husum Julius Leber barracks, Eckernförde Preußer barracks and Eckernförde military police headquarters The Federal Agency visited the Husum military airfield barracks, as well as the Julius Leber barracks in Husum, which belong to military district I, on 26 June 2012. Furthermore, on 27 June 2012 it visited the Preußer barracks in Eckernförde and Eckernförde military police headquarters, which are also assigned to military district I. The inspection of the facilities in each case covered the entire cellular confinement area. This includes in the military airfield three cellular confinement cells, including a special cell which is used for instance for sobering up. Four cellular confinement cells were inspected in the Julius Leber barracks, one of which was designed as a particularly secure cellular confinement cell. The Preußer barracks and the military police headquarters had four and three cellular confinement cells, respectively. Cell occupancy sheets were also inspected.

Reaction: The wide-angle spy-holes in the Julius Leber barracks would be moved. Eckernförde Preußer barracks were to be closed in the restructuring process. For economic reasons, the spy-holes in the cellular confinement cells would be modified by applying black paint or a cover that could only be operated by the person in cellular confinement in such a way that the WC area was no longer visible. The specially-secured cellular confinement cell of the Julius Leber barracks did contain a safe washbasin, but no tap. The Federal Agency recommended that this be retrofitted. Reaction: The installation of a tap had been commissioned and would be carried out soon. Finally, the Federal Agency recommended equipping the cellular confinement cells of Husum military airfield barracks, Husum Julius Leber barracks and Eck- 30
