History​

The construction of the camp started in 1930 and was completed in 1933. The barracks was expanded in 1935 - 36. Today, the camp has 18 buildings, including a water tower.​

In time of peace, it housed the fortress troops of the surrounding bunkers, like the large artillery fortresses of Rochonvillers and Molvange.​

During the occupation, the camp was be used by the Germans. Later the camp was used by the training companies of the regiments, stationed at Thionville.​

At the Saint Gabriel day (patron of transmissions) in 1961 or 1962, General Massu (commanding the 6th Military Region and friend of the camp commander, Captain Laurent) visited the camp of Angevillers.​

At times still used as a training ground, the camp was finally abandoned in 2008.​

 ​

Visited two times.​

My first visit was at the beginning of May, with @The-Raw, @Maniac, @extreme_ironing and Elliot5200. But due to too little time I could not enter all buildings.​

For this reason I returned three weeks later with a none member, to explore the rest of the area, too.​
