Fort Plappeville, renamed Fort Alvensleben in 1872, is a military installation northwest of Metz. It is part of the first fortified belt of Metz, built during the Second Empire by Napoleon III. The first fortified belt of Metz consists of the forts Saint-Privat (1870), Queleu (1867), Bordes (1870), Saint-Julien (1867), Gambetta, Déroulède, Decaen, Plappeville (1867), and Saint-Quentin (1867). Most of them were still unfinished in 1870, when the Franco-Prussian War broke out.

The name probably originates from an order issued by the Bishop of Metz around 1220. According to this order, the best robe of a recently deceased person had to be donated to the Hospital of Saint-Nicolas. This hospital was responsible for the construction and maintenance of the bridge.
