    On the Rauher Buckel, west of Hepberg

    Construction began on July 13, 1878, and the fort was handed over on August 29, 1882, after a delay of more than a year.
    In 1895 the factory was named after the late General Karl von Orff, who had proven himself very well in the war of 1870/71.


    The strengthening of the fort lasted from October 15, 1889 to May 14, 1892. In 1889/1891 the internal connecting batteries were built. In 1896, a left outer connection battery followed, and there was no counterpart on the right.

    Ingolstadt had an extensive fortification belt at a considerable distance around the city, consisting of 30 forts built between 1860 and 1880. They were intended to protect the region from attacks. Today, only one of them (Fort Prinz Karl near Katharinenberg) remains. All the others were blown up by the Americans after World War II.
