Adlerhorst Command Post – World War I

Who takes this ascent to the HWK passes many German positions of 1.WK. The "Adlerhorst" is one of the most exciting rock fortresses among them. Everything still there: steps! Rooms, gun positions, battlements, .... and everything in lofty heights! Very spectacular! And wonderful nature in the middle of the Vosges including: unforgettable!

The Adlerhorst is a German shelter located on the Hartmannswillerkopf³ battlefield. This two-story shelter is built into a rock³. It is equipped with a machine gun post, observatories and a fountain³.Hartmannswillerkopf, also known as Vieil Armand, is a pyramidal rocky spur in the Vosges massif, overlooking the Alsace plain from its 956 meters². During the First World War, it was a strategic summit hotly contested by the French and German armies².Today, the Hartmannswillerkopf is a place of memory, bearing witness to the suffering of the soldiers who fought in the name of their country³. The German remains encountered on the ground, sometimes quite spaced apart from each other, are witnesses to this historical period³.(1) The Hartmannswillerkopf – German positions – By hills and by forts. parmontsetparforts.fr/2024/03/17/hwk-positions-allemandes.
