🏰 **South Barracks of Fort de Guentrange – Heart of the Defense near Thionville** The **South Barracks** of Fort de Guentrange** was the central accommodation building for French troops within the extensive fortifications above Thionville. Built between 1899 and 1906 as part of the German fortification system (Moselstellung), it served to house, supply, and organize the soldiers. 🏗️ The barracks are solidly built into the hillside, with thick walls, barrel-vaulted corridors, and several entrances to the actual defense system. Today, it is partially accessible and provides an authentic insight into life within a high-security fort. **Tip:** During a guided tour of the fort, it's worth taking a closer look at the South Barracks – it impressively demonstrates how well-thought-out infrastructure and protection were combined. A must-see for military and architecture enthusiasts.

🧱 **Northern Battery – The Hidden Wing of Fort de Guentrange** The **Northern Battery** is the northern section of Fort de Guentrange – sheltered in the forest above Thionville. It was part of the fort's outer defenses and served to secure the north side with guns, dugouts, and observation posts. 🌲 Today, the battery lies quietly in the countryside – many of the concrete structures, ditches, and ventilation shafts are still visible, some overgrown. An exciting place for explorers and history buffs. **Tip:** Bring sturdy shoes – the path leads through rough terrain. Particularly interesting for anyone who wants to experience a piece of hidden military history off the beaten track.

You are in the middle of the pithead of the former "Walert" mine. For almost a century, from the 1880s to 1963, iron ore was mined here, both in the opencast and in galleries. At the time, the mine mainly supplied the factories of Rodange and Seraing in Belgium, where the ore was transported by rail. The site became a museum in 1973 and the use of the pithead facilities was changed: the first offices were converted into a brewery; the locomotive shed now houses the visitor reception; the playground occupies the former wood stock, while the red rocks of the opencast mine are slowly being reclaimed by vegetation. The most spectacular part of the mine is underground (44.5 ha concession). The guided tour begins in the Museum reception building. The train will then take you underground for a walking tour through the galleries, among the tools and machines of three generations of miners.
