    The 200 × 130 meter Wilhelmsburg, which was built under the Württemberg Major von Erhardt in the years 1842 to 1849, serves as a reduit for the Wilhelmsfeste, which consists of several works and is the strongest element of the main wall. The citadel was able to accommodate 6,951 men. The courtyard has an area of ​​1.3 ha. The Wilhelmsburg consists of four flanks, a valley tower with its own courtyard and two 30-meter high flank towers on the front. It also extends about 20 meters from the bottom of the trench and 25 meters deep into the area of ​​the counter mine tunnel. In addition, a dry ditch ran around the castle, the north side was filled in during the reconstruction of the Wilhelmsfeste to Bundeswehr barracks in the 1950s. There are around 570 rooms in Wilhelmsburg, consisting of 300,000 t of limestone from the Blautal valley.
