Fort X on Nohlenweg is part of the outer Prussian fortification ring. In contrast to the forts on the left bank of the Rhine, both storeys of the fort building are visible here. Around 1923, the former fortifications were redesigned by the head of the garden department, Fritz Encke, into "green forts" with playgrounds and sports fields. Today, Fort X houses various clubs, practice rooms for music and theater groups, and storage rooms, and is not open to the public.
