zitadelle wesel - ein papiertiger

Mighty baroque fortification in Vaubans manner after 1680 - but never finished. The comparison shows that its huguenot masters took Lille ("la reine des citadelles") as a reference. However the interior was left empty due to lacking funds or changing interests (expansion in the middle of Germany instead at the inferior Rhine) until Napoleon Bonaparte tried to remodel Europe. Short film made with Blender 2.79 for educational purposes, the music files (Bach-Adagio, Piefke 1871) are derived from midi-sequences.
