History of Building 025
The Marineterrein is a historic location. Before Building 025 became Kanteen25, it was designated for something else.
The building was manned by non-commissioned officers in the 1960s. Upstairs was the sleeping area, and downstairs served as a meeting place for the different ranks of naval officers.. Rank differences played a significant role in the military, and accommodations were strictly segregated. Therefore, it was quite remarkable that Building 025 was open to different ranks to socialize together at that time. The bar on the ground floor was nicknamed the 'All Ranks Bar', and the building became known as 'The Golden Ball' in the late 1960s.
