Known by the Germans as "Fest Wagner" built 1904-1910 in German-occupied Lorraine. It was to protect Germany from the French Army trying to retake the Lorraine. It was built with 8 turrets, 4 with 10cm guns and 4 with 15cm guns, as well as a rail system designed to facilitate moving guns from covered positions to firing points.
