Abstract
Boulding of Prussian fortress in Poznan was one of the largest construction work that had been influencing the city landscape till present days. By the end of 19th century area covered by the fortifications was much wider then urban space. Locations of the forts were precisly chosen in order to dominate and control their neighbourhood but also to be properly camouflaged. The camouflage creation depended on a kind and characteristic of landscape that fortress was situated in. In the case of Poznan Fortress, where the external ring forts were located in a rural lanscape, the fortyfication greenery forms had to be closely similar to existing one. Fortyfication objects has been incorporated into urban space and nowadays they become a part of city landscape.
