Bastion Cleve
The Cleve Bastion is the southeastern end of the former Magdeburg fortress .
The central element of the bastion is the medieval defense tower "Cleve Tower", which was supplemented by additional facilities in the 16th century. In 1709 the Cleve Bastion merged with the "Bastion Gebhardt", which came from the siege of Magdeburg in the Thirty Years' War . After the Franco-German War , parts of the fortress were demolished in 1872. In the course of the city redesign at that time, in which the Fürstenwallpark and the war memorial were created, large parts of the bastion were filled with soil.
During renovations at this point in 2004, previously unknown fortress remains were rediscovered. The restoration was completed in 2010 and the bastion was opened to the public during the International Building Exhibition .
