On July 1 2026, the German federal cabinet approved a draft law to accelerate the construction, modernization and new building of Bundeswehr facilities, including barracks, depots and training sites. The measure responds to a changed security environment in Europe, NATO commitments and a planned increase in troop numbers. The bill allows the armed forces to carry out construction tasks directly through its own agencies, supplementing the existing practice of state‑level execution. It amends planning and approval rules and introduces exceptions to environmental and nature‑protection regulations. Additional legislation will streamline procurement and land‑use procedures. The law also updates the soldiers’ code to improve living conditions for personnel without lodging obligations, aiming to make service more attractive.
