History+

Construction of the Germersheim Fortress, financed by the German Confederation, began in 1834. It served to protect against French invasions and was strategically important, as Germersheim was considered a military hub on the Rhine. The construction work lasted until 1855, with the mining tunnels only completed in 1861.
