@Martin Koppenhoefer That's a good question, and one I will surely address
on the proposal page.

The short answer is that a fortress is the fortified city centre with its
city walls and defensive towers, and a citadel is a stand-alone
fortification inside or on the edge of it.

A good example is Saint-Martin-de-RĂ© (
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/46.2026/-1.3657), where the
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/308616 is the fortress and
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/35814333 is the citadel.

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Vestingwerken_schema.svg shows
essentially the same thing.
