Fort Berge, Military fortress in Magdeburg, Germany.

Fort Berge was constructed in the shape of a four-pointed star, featuring multiple ramparts and moats for enhanced defensive capabilities.

The construction of Fort Berge started in 1721 under Gerhard Cornelius Walrave, taking its name from a nearby monastery.

The fort served multiple purposes throughout its existence, including periods as a military stronghold and a specialized detention facility.

Modern streets named Sternstraße and Sternbrücke mark the location where Fort Berge stood before its demolition in the early 20th century.

The fort's architect, Walrave, later became a prisoner within the structure he designed, receiving a designated area for movement inside.
