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.

Le fort de Guentrange est un groupe fortifié construit par l’armée allemande pendant la première annexion. Il domine la ville de Thionville dans le département français de la Moselle. Aussi, vous allez vous régaler si vous vous intéressé à l'histoire de notre ligne Maginot mais aussi aux guerres de 1870 à 1945. Ce sont des bénévols et passionnés qui font visiter le fort et la visite fut vraiment intéressante. Ils vous transmettent leur savoir et leur passion, la visite dure environ 2h30 à 3h00 ! nous avions un guide qui connaît l'histoire du fort sur le bout de ses doits. Pensée à prendre un pull ou manteau car l'air est frais et humide à l'intérieur.
