https://vk.com/padonak39 In this issue I will tell about one of the sights of Kaliningrad 11 fort or Fort Dönhoff. Fort number 11 "Donhoff" (Donhoff bei Seligenfeld) was built in 1877-1882, covered the railway to Insterburg. Originally, the fort was called "Seligenfeld" - by the name of the nearby village, but in 1894 it was named after the representatives of the famous genus von Dönhoff. It is a hexagon stretched along the front, surrounded by a moat with water. The casemate traverse and barracks barrows are protected by an earthen rampart. Interior spaces and two curtains are located symmetrically with respect to the central loss. The structure is similar to Fort No. 5 (object # 236). During the April battles of 1945 Fort No. 11 "Denhoff" did not render stubborn resistance to the advancing units of the Red Army, the garrison capitulated about 13 hours on April 7, 1945. In the post-war years, trophy German small arms and ammunition were kept at Fort. Later, there was an arsenal of RAV (mine-torpedo warehouse of the Baltic Fleet, military unit 10440). Until the spring of 2014, the fort was an object of the Ministry of Defense, in connection with the finding of the arsenal of RAW in the protective zone of CHPP-2, the warehouse was disbanded and in the spring of 2014 the military left, and now the fort is regional property. From v / ch remained only empty boxes inside the fort itself and in a warehouse nearby. There is no more evidence of the presence of the military; complex cleaning of the territory was carried out. By the decision of the Government of the Kaliningrad Region Fort No. 11 "Friedrich von Denhoff" received the status of an object of cultural heritage of regional importance.
