European history in the Franco-German border region<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Upper Rhine region is one of the most contested regions in Europe. Countless castles, fortresses, defence lines, military and government bunkers on both sides of the Franco-German border can be found here, some completely preserved, others as listed ruins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of these fortress monuments can be experienced by tourists today, organised by dedicated interest groups and private individuals. The Regional Network Fortresses and Defence History on the Upper Rhine 1929-1999<\/strong> is an association of several fortress monuments and museums, which are part of FORTE CULTURA as a fortress group. Discover exciting fortress architecture and unique stories on the Upper Rhine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
