Tips from the Community

Dirk Rüger
July 15, 2025, Ouvrage du Hackenberg

🛡️ **Ouvrage du Hackenberg** – The Largest Fortification of the Maginot Line** The **Ouvrage du Hackenberg** near **Veckring** is the most impressive and largest fortification of the **Maginot Line** – a real must-see for history buffs. Built between 1929 and 1935, it includes: 🔩 **17 combat and entry blocks**, 🚇 over **10 km of underground tunnels**, 🚂 an **internal electric railway**, ⚙️ barracks, ammunition depots, a hospital, and a power supply. During World War II, the fort was combat-ready, but was evacuated without a fight after the armistice in 1940. The French Army later reused the facility during the Cold War. 🎟️ Today, Hackenberg has been beautifully restored and can be visited on guided tours – including a ride on the original narrow-gauge railway. Tip: Be sure to take a guided tour – it lasts about two hours. The underground coolness is pleasant even in summer! It's ideal for a half-day excursion with a historical twist.

The castle was once one of the most popular residences of the Dukes of Lorraine. Today, visitors can visit the towers, the granary, the powder magazine, the arsenal, and the provisions store.

Schengen is located right in the border triangle of France, Germany and Luxembourg. Schengen became a synonym for an area without border controls when, on June 14, 1985, five EU member states signed the Schengen Agreement on the anchored passenger ship MS "Princesse Marie-Astrid", which provides for the abolition of controls at the common borders and the introduction of the free movement of people and goods (Wikipedia).
