The Sachsenhausen Landwehrweg follows the old Frankfurter Landwehr - a ditch and bridge to secure the field marks (urban area outside the city walls)

The Frankfurt Landwehr was part of Frankfurt's city fortifications in the Middle Ages.

Landwehr
In 1393, the city council decided to build the Frankfurt Landwehr to protect the city. The Oberrad Landwehr, which runs through present-day Sachsenhausen, was built in 1441.
Part of the Landwehr has been preserved at this location. It consists of two ditches. The larger ditch is now spanned by a bridge. The Landwehr also included an impenetrable hedge ("Gebück"), various passages, and watchtowers, including the Sachsenhausen Watchtower.
Although inconspicuous, a unique and outstanding cultural monument in the city's history has been preserved here.
