The Ouvrage B de Thiaumont was a small French fortification built between 1887-1893 as part of the Verdun fortress system, designed to cover the gap between Fort Douaumont and the larger Ouvrage de Froideterre. During the Battle of Verdun in 1916, this fortification changed hands multiple times between German and French forces, enduring constant heavy artillery bombardment that completely destroyed the concrete structure. The fort was finally recaptured by French forces on October 24, 1916, during their major offensive.

The Ossuary of Douaumont is an impressive memorial that holds the remains of more than 130,000 unknown French and German soldiers who died during the Battle of Verdun (1916). The bones are visible through small windows in the base – a confronting reminder of the horrors of war. In front of the ossuary is the Nécropole nationale de Douaumont, the largest French military cemetery of the First World War, with 16,142 graves, including a Muslim and Jewish plot. The complex was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2023.

Since 2006, a monument has stood on the hill of Douaumont in memory of the 30,000 Muslim soldiers who died for France during the First World War. Inaugurated by President Jacques Chirac, it consists of a semicircular gallery with Arab architectural elements. In the middle is a column with the inscription: “À la mémoire des soldats musulmans morts pour la France”. The monument recognizes the diversity of the French army and honors the contribution of soldiers from North Africa and other parts of the then French empire.
