Fort IIa w Poznaniu, Military fortification in Chartowo, Poland

The trapezoidal structure features five traverses in the surrounding embankment and a dry moat measuring 10 meters wide and 6 meters high.

Built between 1887 and 1890 at a cost of one million marks, the fort received its initial name Thümen in honor of Heinrich Thümen.

The fort now serves as a gathering place for scout groups and houses the Poznań Society for Nature Protection 'Salamandra' since 1998.

The main potern walls contain electrical installations, and while the moats have been cleaned, they remain filled with water.

In the late 1990s, researchers discovered the first Polish occurrence of the Peltigera monticola lichen species within the fort grounds.
