Grolmann Bastion, Military bastion in Kaliningrad, Russia.
The largest fortification of the Grolmann Upper Front includes a horseshoe-shaped redoubt, earthen rampart, caponier, two semi-caponiers, two casemates, and entrance gates.
Built between 1851 and 1860, the fortification was designed by Ernst Ludwig von Aster and named after Prussian army reformer General Karl von Grolmann.
The bastion structure represents a significant example of 19th-century military engineering architecture and demonstrates the defensive capabilities of Königsberg's fortification system.
A section of the bastion now houses the Museum of Restaurant Life, displaying three thousand artifacts including barrels, bottles, original postcards, and porcelain from old Königsberg.
The underground passage system reportedly connected the bastion to the Kronprinz barracks, creating an intricate network of military communication channels.
