At the same time all main forts and the three oldest intermediate forts underwent modernization. The work required an increase in the size of the Poznań garrison, which led to the building of a barracks complex in the area of today's 1154: 763: 31: 890: 217:, who approved it in principle, asking Rauch to make some improvements.
