Fortification of Mulhouse

The fortification of Mulhouse involved strengthening its defenses to protect against military threats, especially in the 19th and early 20th centuries. This process included constructing defensive structures like walls, artillery batteries, and fortresses around the city. These fortifications aimed to create a secure barrier against potential invasions, utilizing strategic positioning and modern military technology of the time. Over time, many of these structures were decommissioned or repurposed as advancements in warfare made traditional defenses less effective. Today, remnants of Mulhouse’s fortifications serve as historical landmarks, reflecting the city's strategic importance and evolving military history.
