Hohenzollern Redoubt, German military fortification in Auchy-les-Mines, France
The Hohenzollern Redoubt extends across 300 yards with curved outlines, built upon former mining waste heaps to maximize defensive capabilities against enemy forces.
British forces conducted multiple attacks on this German strongpoint from September to October 1915, resulting in 3,763 casualties during the Battle of Loos.
A memorial created by Michael Credland stands at the site to commemorate the soldiers of the 46th North Midland Division who fell during World War I.
The fortification remains accessible at 320 Chemin du Mont d'Auchy, with numerous Commonwealth War Cemeteries and the Notre Dame de Lorette Museum in proximity.
British tunneling operations in March 1916 led to the detonation of four substantial mines beneath German positions, altering the battlefield landscape.
