Lower Danube Bastion (Werk XXIV)

The bastion was built between 1845 and 1855 under Major von Völker, the defensive barracks under Lieutenant Sunday and summed up to 1,611 men. It consists of a three-sided wall with a hollow cross-beam on the Saillant, the Escarpe with a caponniere on the left shoulder, a very strong Bonnet casemate in Saillant and a Halbcaponniere on the right shoulder. In the throat is the big defensive barracks. The Wallenden were bricked and provided with powder magazines. In front of the factory was a wet ditch.

Well-preserved historical building from earlier times and located directly on the Danube. Beautiful to look at with a great setting.

Not much of Work XXIV (Lower Danube Bastion) is visible here. A connecting wall ran from it to the Danube Tower (Work XXV), located here directly on the bank and next to the bike path. The Danube Tower now houses a youth club. In an emergency, an iron chain was supposed to be stretched across the Danube here. atarimuseum.de/festung/ul25.html
