Im Zentrum des Kasernenareals "Grimmershörn" befand sich der große Exerzierplatz, er diente während der gesamten Zeit in erster Linie zur Ausbildung von Rekruten. Neben Formal- und Gefechtsausbildung, wurde dort auch das Marschieren von größeren Formationen geschult. Weiterhin wurde der Platz für militärische Aufmärsche und Paraden genutzt, Exerzieren selbst bedeute militärisches Ausbilden.
Marines on the parade ground, the photo was taken before 1908. The Grimmershörn barracks had not yet been built at this time. However, the parade hall was already there.
