Ouvrage Laudrefeng was a lesser work (petit ouvrage) of the Maginot Line. The ouvrage consisted of one infantry block, and is located between petits ouvrages Einseling and Teting, facing Germany. Laudrefang was originally planned as a gros ouvrage, and mounted the heaviest armament in its sector, with 81mm mortars [1].
