In the German-Danish War of 1864, when it came to the national affiliation of the Duchy of Schleswig, the Danes built the medieval ramparts of the Danewerk as a defensive position. Schanze 14 was one of the bastions that were built for the Danish cannons. They were built from earth walls that were strengthened with grass roots. The aim was to prevent wall splinters and ricochets from causing even more damage. The bastion could only be held in front of the Austrian troops for a few days.

This reconstructed defense system is a remnant from the German-Danish War of 1864. Another war broke out over the national affiliation of the Duchy of Schleswig. The Danes built the medieval ramparts of the Danewerk as a defensive position. They built 27 bastions for their cannons. In the end they could not stand up to the overwhelming Prussian and Austrian forces.

Here the blades of grass grow in nature, about 40 cm high 😀.
In spring, the reconstructed fortification, Schanze 14, certainly looks more impressive.
