Landwehr, Landgraben and Landhege are the terms used to describe border marking or border security structures and enclosures of settlement areas with the right to enclose entire territories. These settlement protection structures are mostly dated to the High and Late Middle Ages and in some cases are over a hundred kilometers long. However, comparable earthworks have been mentioned since ancient times. The Roman Limes is the best-known example of an early landwehr. The Danewerk also belongs to this group of barriers.

The Landwehr, built at the time to protect the country's borders and control the trade routes.
Here the Landwehr ditch is clearly visible.
