Ouvrage Soetrich, Defensive fortification in Hettange-Grande, France.

The military complex consists of eight combat blocks connected through a network of underground galleries at a depth of 30 meters.

Built between 1930 and 1935 at a cost of 86 million francs, this fortification formed part of the Maginot Line defense system against German invasion.

The fortification represents French military engineering expertise of the 1930s, incorporating advanced defensive technologies and architectural innovations of that period.

The structure contained barracks, ammunition storage, and facilities to accommodate 583 soldiers and 20 officers from specialized infantry and artillery regiments.

During the Cold War period, the fortification transformed into a NATO command center alongside the neighboring structures of Rochonvillers and Molvange.
