Dive into history: Visit the Maginot Line in Moselle
The Maginot Line, named after French War Minister André Maginot, is a series of fortifications built along France's border with Germany. In Moselle, these historic structures offer a fascinating insight into twentieth-century military strategy and European history. Today, many of the works and forts of the Maginot Line are open to visitors, allowing tourists and history buffs to get up close and personal with these impressive testimonies to the past.
The Must-See Maginot Line in Moselle
Among the most remarkable sites on the Maginot Line in Moselle, the Hackenberg Works at Veckring is a must-see. It is the largest work of the Maginot Line, equipped with all the defensive elements of the period, from heavy artillery to daily living facilities for the troops. Guided tours are organised here, offering an immersive experience in this gigantic underground labyrinth.
The Simserhof Works, near Bitche, is another major point of interest. It allows visitors to see up close the barracks, command facilities and weapons emplacements, preserved almost as they were in 1940. These visits enrich the understanding of defence strategies and the daily lives of soldiers during a period marked by uncertainty and conflict.
