Ouvrage Anzeling, Military fortification in Piblange, France
The fortification contains two entrance blocks, three infantry blocks, and four artillery blocks connected by a 3000-meter underground gallery system.
The construction of this defensive position began in September 1930 and concluded in 1940, with total expenses reaching 122 million French francs.
The facility represents French military engineering from the interwar period, demonstrating the nation's approach to territorial defense through fixed fortifications.
The underground railway system accessed through the munitions entrance moved supplies and equipment through the galleries to different combat sections.
