Fort Prince Karl, Military fort in Großmehring, Germany
Fort Prince Karl stretches 300 meters north-south and 180 meters east-west, featuring a pentagonal layout with defensive positions separated from the inner courtyard by earthen walls.
Built between 1877 and 1881 under architect Georg Storch, the fort formed part of the Bavarian Land Fortress Ingolstadt's outer defense ring during the expansion period.
The fort represents a critical example of German military architecture, designed by Prussian Major General Hans Alexis von Biehler as part of the Bavarian fortress construction commission.
Access to the fort interior requires advance registration through the Bavarian Army Museum in Ingolstadt, with guided tours available monthly during summer seasons.
Fort Prince Karl remains the last complete Biehler standard fort on German territory, preserving its original structure across 20 hectares of hilltop terrain.
