In German-speaking countries, ramparts from prehistory and early history, including the early Middle Ages, are referred to as ramparts (Schanze or Spitzwall; English: Hillfort), including earthworks and square ramparts as well as castles and ring ramparts. Depending on the region and time period, there are different types, such as Celtic oppida, hilltop settlements from the Migration Period, Slavic castle ramparts or Hungarian ramparts. Depending on their function, they were designed either as refuge castles or as places for permanent settlement.

Today, the hill forts are mostly protected as archaeological monuments.
