Fort Deckstein, as it is also called, was built between 1873 and 1876 as part of the outer fortification ring of the Prussian era. According to the Versailles Treaty, after the First World War, only the town-facing Kehlhaus and the side ramparts were allowed to remain.

Under the Prussian government, Cologne was surrounded by a second ring of fortresses made up of various forts in the 19th century. In fact, the forts were never used in the war and had to be eliminated after the Treaty of Versailles. It is thanks to the former mayor of Cologne, Konrad Adenauer, that the forts have largely been preserved and have been transformed into the Cologne green belt. Fort VI is used by the Sports Department of the City of Cologne.
