Chapel du Hackenberg

On top of the mountain are a few domes of the Maginot Line with a chapel and a monument to the American 90th Infantry Division that captured Hackenberg in 1944. The domes are from Block 11 (observation towards the Billig ouvrage) and Block 12 (observation frontally and towards the east). Both blocks have a GFM dome for close defense and auxiliary observation.
