Fortified group designed to accommodate three to four infantry companies in Thionville
This fortified group was built by the Germans between 1899 and 1906. As a high strategic place during the Annexation and then absorbed by the Maginot Line, the fort bears witness to the history of Franco-German conflicts as much as to its effectiveness through its organization and equipment. Originally, its strategic position was to defend the railroad junction of the second city of Moselle against any French attack. Nowadays, it has no military vocation, but the amicale of the fortified group of Guentrange and the city have allowed its renovation and its transformation into a place of memory.

Très intéressant tant d'un point de vue technique que historique.
Les abords permettent aussi de belles promenades.
Le guide était vraiment top . Un passionné d histoire qui a su répondre sans problème à nos questions .
Le musée est magnifique aussi . Il y a beaucoup de pièces qui relatent l histoire au point qu on ne sait plus où regarder .
A la fin de la visite , je suis allée avec un monsieur à travers bois afin d y voir les tranchées.
Par la même occasion nous avons fait un petit tour sur le toit de l ouvrage .
Ce fut un magnifique moment et je recommande à tous d aller y faire un tour .
