Even if in terms of the highest intensity of construction and development of the modern military barracks, we may consider the period of dualist Austria-Hungary as the breakthrough period. The army played an important role in the process of formation of the common state of the Czechs and Slovaks as well. The military design office operating under the Territorial Military Building Directorate and established during the First Czechoslovak Republic had taken over the spatial and layout regulations from the monarchy era, however, due to the territorial repartitioning, it had to build a lot of new military structures in the newly originated border areas. Thus, several large barrack areas grew all around the country, often influencing the material structure of the cities and its subsequent construction development in a substantial way. Therefore (as a follow-up to the contribution published in the previous issue of the Vojenská história journal 4/2017), the study clarifies the architectural, historical and social development of the barracks after 1918 and analyses the impact of military architecture on the appearance of the selected Slovak cities. The text characteristics of individual settlements and barracks are accompanied by the graphic map schemes marking the spatial effect of the military buildings.

Without a doubt, the material and construction conditions are some of the basic aspects of smooth operation in every modern army. Within the wide range of objects, fortifications and areas administered by the army, the military barracks serving for accommodation and military training have become the basis of its construction fund. The study describes and clarifies not only the architectural but also the historical and social development of these objects in the territory of today’s Slovakia, since their first appearance during the ancient Roman Empire until the end of the World War 1 and the fall of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. The research defines the most important architectural signs and the breakthrough events defining their final structural form, focusing on the period after the Austro-Hungarian compromise and establishment of the dualist monarchy. A special attention is paid to the works and innovations of the military engineers who determined the basic spatial, technical and operational requirements of the barracks projection and construction, thanks to the intense international discourse. At the conclusion of the study, the great importance of the barracks in military history is also documented by the information about the number and intensity of the construction thereof in the last years before the outburst of the world war.
