Talk:Christiansfjell Fortress

History
The fortification was built on a hill on the east side of Glomma as one of several defense (the other was Elverum skanse and Grindal Skansen on the other side of Glomma) nearby to protect the road to Hedemarken against Swedish attack. This first skansen was called Hammer Berg. When King Christian 5. inspected the plant 14. June 1685, ga castle he named Christian Fjeld for themselves. In the years that followed were made comprehensive development and improvement. In 1709 the facility was expanded with an outer wall with a gun tower. Outside the castle was already in 1683 paved the equivalent of the fortress shots fields. In this area, soldiers and officers under the permission to organize the housing. This was the origin of the town of clay that today constitute a large part of Elverum center. This settlement was divided into South and North Camp that lay on either side of the fortress. In the fortress velmaktsdager was Grundset market added nordre Camp.

By Royal Decree of 13.juli 1742 was Basmo and Christian Fjeld also closed down, and the fortress was dismantled. Fixtures, usable building, and even buildings were sold at auction in 1745, and the fort was officially closed.

In 1811, it was again decided that the fort would be able and have a garrison of 30 lackeys, 3 and 1 Corporal premiærløytnant. In the following years up to the 1814, it was closed down a large project to put the castle and the surrounding line of stand, and after Kiel Treaty in January 1814, the work was strongly precipitated. During the campaign in 1814 was reinforced garrison of 6 companies from the Dragon Søndenfjellske Regiment, in all 420 men.

By royal order of 17. December 1814 it was decided that the Christian Fjeld was terminated and the armor is transported to the fortress. The 25. March 1815 fortress was decided evacuated. Also this time the buildings were removed and sold, and eventually was torn down the walls to be used for other walls in the area.

The fortification was never in combat, and has never been besieged.

The fortification has many times in the years thereafter have been used in connection with the celebration of national days, in which parts of the event has been added to this area. It was during salute ring 17. May 1840 that Elverums the first mayor of Hans Øvergaard (1795-1840) was killed.

In the 1930-year was initiated restoration work led by the council engineer Dahl. The area was cleared as recreation, and the walls of the various buildings were highlighted to show where they had stood.

In 1964 the council's water tower built on top of the fortress, and the remnants of the old tower was demolished.

Today, we find three Bautaen for Christian Fjeld, one for mayor Øvergaard, one of the fallen 1808-1814 and 1940-1945 for the fallen.

Garrison Garrison size has varied considerably over the years. In 1686 the crew of 32 officers and lackeys. In 1716 there were 264 men, but this big crew must be considered in the context that it was the middle of the Great Northern War.

In the period 1811-1814 was the garrison in the order of 25-35 men.

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: NO CONSENSUS. The proposer and all three comments mention the Norwegian Wikipedia or Norwegian sources. These are not relevant per COMMONNAME, which says that the title should be the one used primarily in English sources, and the claim that the current title "seems far more popular in general use" is unsubstantiated, so a consensus has not been formed.

Christiansfjell Fortress → Chistiansfjeld Fortress – Misspelling. Fjell is a modern norwegian word for mountain. In the time of this fortress spelt Fjeld. Check no:Christiansfjeld festning 80.212.107.71 (talk) 21:12, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment Google Books seems to support -fjell per Norwegian sources "Sammen med Per Bjørnsen Sørhuus var Per Hagen i 1709 «kunnskapsmann» ved Christiansfjell festning. ". But I see that webpages of the local community are using -fjeld more than -fjell. In ictu oculi (talk) 22:44, 20 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment This link refers to a historian at Glomdalen museum in Elverum. He is a sout advocat for the name Christiansfjeld festning (Fortress).

 * Really if it's at issue then both spellings/derivations need to be in the article, and the debate footnoted with WP:RS sources. In ictu oculi (talk) 10:23, 21 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Weak Oppose The article title should be the current commonly recognizable name which may not be the same as the historically accurate name or the officially precise name. Christiansfjell seems far more popular in general use, reflecting the readers we are trying to help. Agreed that both spellings should be included in the article.
