context_page_description: Heer and Luftwaffe Signals School was the radio intelligence training establishment for the Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe during World War II and belonged to the site of the General Maercker barracks. The training academy was built between 1934 and 1937 to designs by Ernst Sagebiel. The former intelligence academy is located in Halle in the Heide-Süd district of Heideallee.
context_section_description: The complex originally consisted of around 160 buildings, and this included the buildings of the Heer and Luftwaffe Signals School, the offices, officers mess, magazine buildings, bunkers, armouries and workshops, residential and accommodation buildings of the General Maercker barracks. At the centre of the school is a large roll call square whose entrance is flanked by two pavilion-like guard houses. To the right and left of the roll call square are the school buildings in the form of two large four-storey three-wing systems whose courtyards are delimited by colonnade-like corridors to the roll-call area.
  The school was adjoined by the barracks area, which was opened up by an approximately 1.5 kilometer garrison road running in an oval. The buildings are designed as simple plaster buildings with hipped roofs and laid out in a kind of garden city-like ensemble. In contrast to the monumental and archaic architecture of representative buildings of the Nazi regime, a simple objective architecture was used here, as is often the case with buildings for the Luftwaffe.
  In the courtyard of the southern school building is the 2002 Geological Garden of Halle.
  The  building of the flight control and two hangar air base Halle-Nietleben no longer exist today. The sidings of Halle-Nietleben station still existed until the end of the nineties.
