Ouvrage Four-à-Chaux
Ouvrage Four-à-Chaux is a ''gros ouvrage'' of the Maginot Line, located in the community of Lembach, France, in the Bas-Rhin département. Four à Chaux was adjoined by ''petit ouvrage'' Lembach and ''gros ouvrage'' Hochwald, and faced the German frontier as part of the Fortified Sector of the Vosges. A "four à chaux" is a lime kiln in French, and the ''ouvrage'' was located in the area of a limestone quarry and kiln, which operated until 1939. Four-à-Chaux was bombarded by the invading Germans in late June 1940 during the Battle of France with both aerial attacks and artillery bombardments. Four-à-Chaux survived to surrender at the end of the month. Block 1 was destroyed by the Germans before retreating in the face of American advances in 1945. During the 1950s Four-à-Chaux was renovated and reoccupied against a perceived threat from the Soviet Union. It fell out of use in the 1970s, and is now operated as a museum.
== Design and construction ==
The site was surveyed by CORF (''Commission d'Organisation des Régions Fortifiées''), the Maginot Line's design and construction agency; Lembach was approved for construction in July 1931. The ''gros ouvrage'' was intended to receive a second 75mm gun turret in a second phase of construction, never pursued.〔Mary, Tome 3, p. 133〕 Due to its compact arrangement, Four-à-Chaux did not receive an electrified internal rail system; the garrison pushed carts on the rails between the blocks. The fort also features an artesian well.〔Kaufmann 2011, p. 246〕
