With a length of around 4 kilometres, the ramparts enclose the town centre of the old Hanseatic city of Lemgo. With the exception of the western section of the rampart, which had to make way for a wide road, all other areas of the formerly mighty earthen rampart have been landscaped. The remains of the moat are now the elongated swan pond on the Slavertorwall and the Knochenhauerteich on the Kramerrondell. In the southern section with the Lindenwall and Hoher Wall areas, the mighty earthwork has been preserved at an impressive height and gives a rough idea of the dimensions of the former fortification rampart in the early 17th century. The area of the chestnut rampart was levelled as early as 1786 and planted with a multi-row chestnut avenue. A promenade path with a linden avenue was laid out on the Lindenwall and Hoher Wall sections of the rampart in the 19th century. Today, the high earthen ramparts also serve as flood protection against the flooding of the Bega. The northern section of the wall with the areas of Johannistorwall, Slavertorwall and Ostertorwall was almost completely leveled in the early 20th century and transformed into a landscaped green area according to plans by Cologne's gardening director Finke.

The ramparts are about 3 km long and run around the city. In summer, the trees provide plenty of shade. There are some nice playgrounds on the ramparts and also some restaurants on the ramparts or nearby.
