Grand Cannon of Zillisheim

Highlight • Historical Site

Beneath the forest canopy, you can discover numerous traces of bygone times, still visible or legible; only the "barracks" have disappeared. During a guided tour with one of the site's enthusiastic volunteers, you can explore the underground tunnels and discover the organization of this impressive military infrastructure. Of course, you can also visit the surface infrastructure yourself, following the marked route, where the panels provide detailed explanations.
An application, "Site du Grand Canon de Zillisheim," is also available for download.

The 38 cm Schnellladekanone L/45 (38 cm S.K. L/45) was a gun used by the Imperial Navy and the German Army during World War I. Originally designed as a naval gun, it was also used on land under the designation 38 cm Geschütz Max or Langer Max. The "38 cm SK L/45" had a barrel with an inner diameter of 38 cm, making it one of the largest calibers used at the time. Its range was up to 48 km.

Between 1915 and 1916, the German army installed a naval gun called the "Langer Max" in the Zillisheim Forest.

This gun, designed to fire long bursts at Belfort and the Saint Amarin Valley, was actually a diversionary plan....
