Fort IX w Poznaniu, Military fort in Świerczewo district, Poznań, Poland.
Fort IX features a hexagonal structure with a dry moat, artillery embankments, underground casemates, and barracks connected by a bridge across the defensive perimeter.
The construction of Fort IX, initially named Brünneck, took place between 1876 and 1880 under the direction of architect Hans von Biehler as part of Poznań Fortress.
The fort received its current name in 1931 in honor of Colonel Edmund Taczanowski, reflecting the transition from German to Polish military heritage.
Access to the interior spaces of Fort IX requires a guided tour, as certain sections of the structure present potential safety concerns.
The fort contains two concrete observation bunkers built in 1939 and retains original features such as sliding doors and observation cupola windows.
