The reliability and monumentality of these walls, the thoroughness and thoughtfulness of the citadel to the smallest detail surprise and inspire respect for the military fortification engineers and builders who designed and built such fortresses.

Fortification was considered a separate science, and only a few European countries could boast of their fortification school — Prussia was one of the strongest.
