Ouvrage Kobenbusch, Maginot Line fortification in Cattenom Forest, France
The fortification contains seven combat blocks and two entrance blocks, connected by underground galleries located 30 meters below the surface.
Construction of Ouvrage Kobenbusch began in 1931 and completed in 1935, requiring an investment of 65 million francs to establish this defensive position.
The fortification represents French military engineering expertise of the 1930s, incorporating advanced defensive systems and self-sustaining infrastructure.
The Association Ligne Maginot du Secteur Fortifié du Bois de Cattenom maintains the site and organizes visits to accessible sections of the fortification.
The underground sections of the fortification now rest beneath the cooling water lake created for the Cattenom Nuclear Power Plant.
