Construction work on the Hauenstein Fortification began on August 9, 1914, shortly after the start of the First World War. The fortress was built, among other things, to protect the city of Olten as a traffic junction on the railway line. The almost 50 kilometer long defense belt against Germany stretched from Obergösgen in the east over the Dottenberg to the Wisenberg.
