Limes Saxoniae at Hornbeker Mühlenbach
Highlight • Historical Site
The settlement area of the ethnic groups was marked by borders at least since the early 9th century.
In the north it was the Danewerk. It separated the area of the Danes from that of the Saxons.
The eastern border between the sphere of influence of the Saxons and the Slavic areas of Wagria and Polabia, which had been settled by Abodrites since the 7th century, was the so-called "Limes Saxoniae". It was built after the Franks advanced into Saxon territory in 810 to protect against the Slavs.
It followed natural features such as rivers and swampy lowlands and
was partly secured by castles.
According to a chronicle written around 1070 by the historian Adam of Bremen,
the course can be assumed. The border line then started at Boizenburg on the Elbe in the south, followed the Delvenau, then the Trave and finally the Schwentine, which flows into the Kiel Fjord.
