Fort Frère, Military fort in Oberhausbergen, France
Fort Frère features a polygonal structure with dry moats, defensive caponnières, and strategic observation posts built with stones from Lutzelbourg quarries.
The German Imperial Army constructed Fort Frère between 1872 and 1874 as part of a network of fourteen fortifications surrounding Strasbourg after capturing the city.
The fort exemplifies nineteenth-century military engineering principles, serving as a model for approximately 67 similar fortifications across the German Empire.
Visitors can access Fort Frère through guided tours lasting over two hours, with parking available 150 meters from the entrance.
The fortification received reinforced concrete additions in 1887, including a meter of sand protection and specialized blast-proof doors installed in 1895.
