After years of cost-cutting, Defense Minister Klaudia Tanner (ÖVP) is rearming the military. Styria is also benefiting from this: this year there is an investment boost of 36 million euros in the white-green army infrastructure. At the forefront: the Feldbach barracks, which is to become completely self-sufficient. A local inspection by the Minister with the "Krone". 

On Thursday, battalion commander Colonel Günter Rath opened the barracks barriers for the minister, who had traveled from Vienna - the "Krone" was also present during her visit.
