Fortresses of the German Confederation
Bulwarks against France (1815-1866): In order to protect the German Confederation from revolutionary movements and possible expansion plans of ambitious neighbours, some fortresses were designated as federal fortresses in 1815 and extensively expanded. These included Mainz, Luxembourg and Landau, Rastatt and Ulm.
