The Fort de Queuleu is a fortification to the southeast of Metz, near Queuleu, France. Construction began while part of Lorraine was under French rule in 1868. After the interruption of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71, the fort was improved between 1872 and 1875 by the German Empire, which had conquered the area as a in the war. Renamed Fort Goeben, it formed part of the first ring of the fortifications of Metz. Functionally obsolete by the First World War, it saw no military action, but was used by the Germans as a detention center for members of the French Resistance during World War II.
The fort was one of the first built according to the fortification system developed by Lieutenant Colonel Raymond Adolphe Séré de Rivières. The goal was to build a discontinuous enclosure around Metz using a series of artillery forts spaced a cannonshot apart. In the 1860s tension was rising between France and Germany, causing France to attend to the fortification of its frontiers. Metz, close to the border and a strategic road and rail crossing, was the beneficiary of one of the first programs of fortification. Before all of the forts could be completed, France was defeated in the Franco-Prussian War and the area around Metz was annexed to Germany. Metz then became a crucial strongpoint on Germany's frontier, receiving sustained attention to its defenses that culminated in the Moselstellung of the early twentieth century.
The pre-war French construction program comprised eight forts surrounding Metz at a distance of 3.5 - 5.5 km from the center of the city. Planning began in 1864, and in 1867 the project was placed under the supervision of Séré de Rivières. Compared with later Séré de Rivières system forts, the fort's design is reminiscent of the bastioned enclosures of Vauban of the 18th century. In their developed form, the Séré de Rivières forts of the 1870s were much simplified in plan, with less overt reference to historic prototypes.
casemates were arranged on two levels. As constructed, a large proportion of the fort's artillery was placed on the surface of the fort, exposed to high-angle artillery fire. This was not considered a major disadvantage in the 1860s, when most opposing artillery was expected to be smooth-bored guns firing solid shot or gunpowder-filled shells on a low trajectory, with the aim of battering the walls of the fort so that breaches could be exploited by infantry. During the 1870s rifled guns came into widespread use, making exposed masonry walls dangerously vulnerable. At the same time, fuses were developed that enabled shells fired at a high angle from howitzers or mortars to explode in the air above an open position, making exposed fixed-position artillery untenable. Fort de Queuleu was thus already obsolete when it was taken over by the Germans.
The fort's construction was improved under the German Empire, which renamed it Fort Goeben after a Prussian general who had distinguished himself at the Battle of Spicheren on 6 August 1870. Immediate German construction focused on dispersing gun batteries to flanking positions and reinforcing protection for personnel and ammunition against shellfire. In 1885, new explosives led to a massive increase in the explosive power of artillery projectiles, the so-called crise de l'obus-torpille (torpedo-shell crisis). This development made unprotected artillery and masonry construction entirely obsolete, as the new shells could easily destroy masonry structures.

17/05/2019 France 3 Lorraine : le fort de Queuleu
16/04/2016 France 3 Lorraine JT 19/20 : Le fort de Queuleu
De 1943 à 1944, un camp spécial (SS Sonderlager) est installé dans la Caserne II. Entre 1500 et 1800 prisonniers, femmes et hommes originaires de toute la Lorraine, y sont interrogés et internés dans des conditions effroyables avant d’être envoyés dans des camps de concentration. Les conditions d’internement sont terribles et trente-six personnes y succombent. Les prisonniers ont les yeux bandés ainsi que les pieds et mains liés.
Restauration au fort de Queuleu
Autrefois camp d’internement nazi, le fort de Queuleu a vu plusieurs milliers de prisonniers défiler dans ses casemates lors de la seconde guerre mondiale. Aujourd’hui, l’Amicale des anciens déportés du fort de Queuleu et de leurs familles tente de l’entretenir en vue d’en faire un lieu de mémoire.

Dans l'atelier de 3 000 m2, entre 60 et 120 détenus viennent travailler chaque matin. Pas l'impression d'être en prison, plutôt dans une entreprise ordinaire avec ses chaînes d'ouvriers et ses conteneurs en attente. Les entreprises sous-traitent ici la réalisation de tâches répétitives : petites bougies d'ambiance à faire mouler, vis et boulons à mettre en sachet...
