About
Le Fort WAGNER
Fort WAGNER, guardian of the Seille valley south of Metz Fort WAGNER was built between 1901 and 1910. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the Moselle was German. Close to the French border at the time, its mission was to “block access from the south to the city of Metz by holding the Seille valley under fire with powerful artillery”. Comprising some 30 guns and howitzers of various calibres, it could fire up to 2 tonnes of shells per minute. Its biggest guns, with a range of close to 20 kilometers, fired well beyond the front line.
