Weserforts Brinkamahof, Military fort in Bremerhaven, Germany
The Weserforts Brinkamahof consisted of two separate fortifications constructed as artificial islands at the mouth of the Weser River in northern Germany.
Construction of Fort Brinkamahof I began in 1867 under Prussian military command and finished in 1872, while Fort Brinkamahof II was built between 1876 and 1879.
The fortifications reflected Prussian military architecture, incorporating Belgian fortress design principles with brick construction methods typical of northern German defensive structures.
The site of Fort Brinkamahof I is now completely covered by a harbor basin, while Fort Brinkamahof II was demolished in 2000 to make way for container terminal expansion.
During World War I, the forts maintained permanent garrisons and were equipped with six 28-centimeter guns in armored turrets, yet never engaged in actual combat.
