The courtyard of Ehrenbreitstein fortress, 1937

Under an overhanging branch of chestnut leaves, a handful of visitors walk across a vast gravel parade ground towards the long two-storey front of the barracks, its ground floor and upper storey opened in rows of round arches. Prussia rebuilt Ehrenbreitstein after 1815 as the key to its new Rhineland; under the Treaty of Versailles the fortress lay in the demilitarised zone, and only in March 1936 did German troops march back across the Rhine.
