About the location

Fort de Metz-Queuleu

Allée Jean Burger, 57070 Metz

Moselle
Grand Est

The Fort of Queuleu belongs to the first belt strengthened by Metz. Building work, begun by the French people during the Second Empire between 1867 and 1868, was resumed(taken back) to a great extent by the Germans during Annexation. Between October, 1943 and August, 1944, a special camp managed by Gestapo is installed(settled) in the Caserne II, Blockhouse A. The camp sees the internment of Resistance fighters, saboteurs, boatmen, objectors and hostages. The conditions of internment are terrible: prisoners are questioned under torture and parked eyes bandaged with bound(connected) feet and hands. Thirty-six people will succumb to it and four people will manage to get away. Between 1500 in 1800 prisoners will be committed there before being sent to concentration camps, to prison or sentenced to death. In the Libération, a centre of watched stay is established there between December, 1944 and March, 1946\.
