Oldenburger Wall

Oldenburger Wall is a fortified site with archaeological structures at the eastern edge of Oldenburg in Holstein. The grounds display remnants of earthen walls, ditches, and a museum building that exhibits findings from different periods.

The fortification arose in the 9th century as a tribal seat and long served as an important place for Slavic peoples in the region. It was later rebuilt and functioned as an administrative center during medieval rule.

The name references the ancient fortification that once defined this landscape. Today visitors can observe how earlier inhabitants arranged their settlements and what objects they used in daily life.

The museum building is accessible during warmer months, with daily opening in August. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear, as the grounds are uneven and consist of historical earthworks and ditches.

A reconstruction of a Slavic village stands on the grounds on an artificial island, showing how people lived during that time. The houses and structures have been rebuilt based on archaeological evidence to guide visitors into this early medieval world.
