A polygonal fort is a type of fortification originating in France in the late 18th century and fully developed in Germany in the first half of the 19th century. Unlike earlier forts, polygonal forts had no bastions, which had proved to be vulnerable. As part of ring fortresses, polygonal forts were generally arranged in a ring around the place they were intended to protect, so that each fort could support its neighbours. The concept of the polygonal fort proved to be adaptable to improvements in the artillery which might be used against them, and they continued to be built and rebuilt well into the 20th century.

  • Un fuerte poligonal es un tipo de fortificación que se originó en Francia a finales del siglo XVIII y se desarrolló completamente en Alemania en la primera mitad del siglo XIX. A diferencia de los fuertes anteriores, los fuertes poligonales no tenían bastiones, lo que resultó ser vulnerable. Como parte de las fortalezas circulares, las fortalezas poligonales generalmente se organizaban en un anillo alrededor del lugar que debían proteger, de modo que cada fortaleza pudiera sostener a sus vecinos. El concepto de fuerte poligonal demostró ser adaptable a las mejoras en la artillería que podrían usarse contra ellos, y continuaron construyéndose y reconstruyéndose hasta bien entrado el siglo XX.

  • Im Festungsbau ist das Polygonalsystem der Grundsatz, bei den Außenlinien von Befestigungsanlagen möglichst alle einspringenden Winkel zu vermeiden. So gebaute Festungen haben die Form eines Polygons (eines Vielecks). (de)

  • Una fortificazione a base poligonale è una fortezza costruita con lo stile sviluppatosi attorno alla metà del XIX secolo, in risposta alla creazione di granate sempre più potenti. (it)
  • Het polygonaal stelsel is een vestingbouwkundig stelsel waarbij er geen gebruik meer wordt gemaakt van bastions voor flankerend geschut. Het is in de 18e eeuw ontwikkeld naar de opvattingen van de Franse vestingbouwkundige Marc-René de Montalembert (1714-1800), als vervanging voor het gebastioneerd vestingstelsel. Het systeem werd vooral populair in de tweede helft van de 19e eeuw. Voorbeelden van intacte polygonale vestingsteden zijn er niet. Een voorbeeld van een stad waar nog aanzienlijke resten te vinden zijn van polygonale fronten zijn Ulm in Duitsland en Diest in België. (nl)
