The Limes Saxoniae, also called the Saxon Wall, is a border strip built by the Saxons around 810 AD to protect themselves from the Slavic Abodrites in eastern Schleswig-Holstein.
The fortification of the border area was probably agreed upon by Charlemagne in 810/11 during his last stay in northern Germany, when the Eider River was also established as the northern border of the empire.
