Ouvrage Oberheid, Military fortification in Cattenom, France
The Oberheid installation contains a central concrete block with two firing chambers and a machine gun turret at the center of its superstructure.
The structure, constructed in 1930 as part of the Maginot Line, received minimal damage during the June 1940 battles despite daily bombardments.
The fortification represents French defensive military architecture of the interwar period, incorporating specific construction methods and reinforced concrete materials.
The installation contains quarters designed for 78 soldiers and 2 officers, equipped with two Baudouin 36-horsepower generators for power supply.
Four armored observation posts, including one connected to the larger Métrich fortification, provided surveillance capabilities through specialized machine gun positions.
