Guided Story

Take a moment and look around. Imagine the hustle and bustle that once filled these grounds, as soldiers stood ready at their posts. Just behind you, to the south, there's the Artillery Monument, a silent witness to the strategic importance of this site. If you glance to your left, you'll spot the silhouette of Fort Hornwerk in the distance, which, along with Fort Unterer Kuhberg, formed a formidable line of defense. Picture the scene back then with cannons being polished and weapons at the ready. These stones could tell tales of vigilance and preparation. Today, the quiet might be deceptive, but this place was once alive with purpose and action.
