    Tips

    The Römerschanze, also Königswall or Räuberschanze, near Sacrow, a district of Potsdam, is a prehistoric rampart and one of the oldest fortifications in Europe. The term Römerschanze is misleading. She was never entered by a Roman.

    The Bronze Age and Slavic fortifications were both archaeologically examined in 1881 for the first time by Carl Schuchhardt and Gerhard Bersu. The excavations of the years 1908, 1909 and 1911 were important for the still in its infancy German prehistoric and early history research. So it was the first major settlement investigation outside the wetland settlements. It succeeded with the help of 1899 discovered and recognized on the Upper German -Raised Limes method of post holes in the interior of the plant to prove a Bronze Age post house with hearth. Apart from this exposure, numerous finds were excavated. In 1956, the Roman hill was listed as a historical monument.

      At the Römerschanze a path goes through the Königswald, you have to look where he is, which leads to the Sacrower castle and the Heilandskiche.
