    "Römerschanze" is called a meander of the Gerdau south of Uelzen. With a small sandy beach, it is a popular meeting place.

      The Romans were never here.
      But this is an important wall fortification from the year 804 AD.
      The site of the early medieval fortification "Römerschanze" on the east bank of the Gerdau between Holdenstedt and Veerßen was built for negotiations between Franks and tribes north and south of the Elbe. For this purpose, Charlemagne came to the Bardegau with his entourage to secure his northernmost territory.
