The elevation is a national monument. The location of the battle is not exactly known and is very controversial

The exact location of the place where the Dithmarschers were able to rout the large Holstein-Danish coalition army on February 17, 1500 at a roadblock ("Schanze") that had been laid the night before is still not exactly known and is disputed. However, it is likely to have been in the area or in the immediate vicinity of a slight elevation about 800 m north of the monument. The allegedly positive results of an excavation in 1949, which claims to have found the Schanzgraben dug out at the time, are no longer generally recognized today.

Unlike the federal highway, which dates back to a new construction in the 19th century, the old country road from Meldorf to Heide - preserved today as a paved side road - led further west through a slightly higher and better drained marsh. The slight elevation goes back to a much older beach wall, which was formed before the marsh areas were built up here a good 2,000 years ago. The model in the pavilion at the Dusenddüwelswarf memorial provides information about what happened during the battle, a little further south in the direction of Meldorf. The battle heroes Reimer von Wiemerstedt and Telse von Wöhrden remain legendary.
