Werk Pleitenberg, 19th-century fortification in Koblenz, Germany.
The fortification contains thick defensive walls, strategic artillery positions, and a preserved hangar structure situated on a plateau overlooking the surrounding area.
Built between 1827 and 1830 as a defensive powder magazine, the fortification underwent modifications until 1891 under Prussian military engineering supervision.
The site transformed from military purposes to become an educational center, offering programs in environmental sciences, natural studies, and artistic activities.
The facility maintains regular opening hours for educational workshops and welcomes private events, with dedicated spaces available for family gatherings.
The original hangar survived the 1927 demolition orders from the Treaty of Versailles and now functions as part of an integrated playground.
