On the Fort a lot of bats and found a flooded dungeon. Perhaps this is the entrance to the underground city…

Friends Hello to you Jenai Fire and in this review we'll take a walk on the Fort number two. this Fort was named Bronzart and it covered the highway to Tilsit. I have already told you that the fortress city of Koenigsberg was surrounded by FORTS. There were 15 FORTS built around the whole city, 12 of them were large and 3 were small. all the FORTS were built with French funds that France paid to Prussia when it lost the Franco-Prussian war.
In General, any Fort is primarily an artillery battery with great autonomy. on the battle ramparts of the Fort were powerful artillery guns.
The Fort was built in four years (1875-1879гг). The Fort was originally named Mandein, but in 1894 it was renamed in honor of Baron Paul Bronzert. It was then that all the FORTS of Koenigsberg were renamed in honor of the Prussian commanders.
Near the entrance to each Fort is the so-called gorgeou caponier, which was the main objective is to cover the back gate.
The garrison of the Fort was about 300 people.
Inside the Fort is two-level and we will go directly to the second level because there is a little better safety. The Central pattern runs along the entire Fort and the approximate length is about 120 meters.
In the premises gorgeou parts of the Fort were barracks. Each room could accommodate twenty soldiers or four officers. There was also an infirmary, a kitchen and locksmiths carpentry and electrical workshops. And the most interesting that the infirmary was the end of the corridor right next to the latrine that you soldiers wanted to hurt less.
The Fort was modernized in 1887 and in 1907. During the modernization of the Fort in 1907, diesel generators were installed for Autonomous supply of electricity to the Fort, as well as an electric grid from the city.
All military communication at the Fort was carried out by bells. By the way, a young German firm Siemens, founded by a German engineer in 1847, won the contract for the installation of sound alarms on the FORTS.
By the way, during the construction of FORTS, the Royal castle was also subject to modernization. The main modernization was that the tower was built higher castles. After modernization, the castle tower became visible from all FORTS. At that time, radio communication had not yet been invented and all combat control of the FORTS was carried out by fire or smoke from the castle tower.
Around the main postern of the sides was the powder magazine.
The premises of the arsenals are two-storied, which is completely atypical for Prussian military architecture.
After the war on the territory of the Fort were located vegetable storage and storage of property of the military unit 63073 (149 artillery division).
In 1984, the Fort hosted the filming of "Act on the situation", where the Fort played the role of a German pow camp. And as usual in any story, our guys came in and kicked the bad guys ' ass.
It is known that in 1998 the Fort was used by the military, and I first visited the second Fort in 2003 and it was already available.
