FORT IX Bolesław Chrobry (master Heinrich von Plauen). An intermediate artillery fort built in the years 1882-1884 on a pentagonal plan, reduced in size. The fire of its guns reached the town of Stary Toruń. The crew consisted of 1 infantry battalion and the crew of 11 artillery positions with two observation points, located in 23 residential rooms. The fort has two-story gorge barracks, a dry moat with escarpments on both sides and 4 caponiers: two shoulder ones, a gorge and a frontal one. On the lower rampart, onto which the corridors of the upper level opened, there were infantry positions and artillery positions. The storage area and the fortress courtyards were reduced, almost completely built up by ramps leading to the upper rampart. The gun square was similarly reduced, defended by a heavy fortress grid. The interior of the fort was accessed by an iron drawbridge and the main gate. In 1894, the fort was modernized by installing electrical and water installations, the vaults were reinforced with a meter-thick layer of concrete, the earthen fortifications were improved, and the fort slopes were masked with bushes. The whole thing was surrounded by barbed wire.
