The Kograben (Danish: Kovirke) is a southern part of the Danewerks.
June 13, 2023
The eastern Sierskampweg leads to the so-called Kograben. It has a total length of 6.5 km and runs partly along the border of the Klein Rheide municipal area. Its peculiarity makes it a strange building object from the past. Its earthen wall runs straight as an arrow. It is 8.00 meters wide and 2.00 meters high. In front of the wall runs a pointed ditch with a depth of 3.00 meters and a width of 4.00 meters. This construction method is similar to that of the ring wall in Haithabu and the Danish ring castles. If you stand on the wall, you can see the "Tweebargen", two dolmens raised outside the municipal area.
