The fortifications of Metz, a city in northeastern France, are extensive, due to the city's strategic position near the border of France and Germany. After the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, the area was annexed by the newly created German Empire in 1871 by the Treaty of Frankfurt and became the Reichsland Alsace–Lorraine. The German Army decided to build a fortress line from Mulhouse to Luxembourg to protect their new territories. The centerpiece of this line was the Moselstellung between Metz and Thionville, in Lorraine.

The County of Metz originated from the frankish Metzgau. In the second half of the 9th century it went to the Gerhardiner, which held at the same time the County of Paris.
Over the Gerhardiner went the County—perhaps even in male lineage—to the Matfriede, which furthermore in 1047 received the title of Duke in Lorraine, namely Gerard IV, Duke of Alsace, Seigneur of Châtenois.
The County of Metz was eventually merged into the Bishopric of Metz.
From 985 the city of Metz was a Free Imperial City of the German Holy Roman Empire.
