An inconspicuous trench is the remnant of a siege and defensive position by the Swedish army from the Thirty Years' War. After 2 months of siege, the Swedes forced Osnabrück to be handed over.

During the Thirty Years' War, the Swedes had their headquarters for the siege of Osnabrück here, on the highest point of the Schinkelberg.
