	Danevirke - Definition, explanation
		During the middle ages, the structure was enforced with palisades and walls, and used by Danish kings as a gathering point for Danish military excursions and crusades, particularly the Danish raids against the Slavs.
		Danevirke was last used as a means of Danish defense in the Danish-Prussian war of 1864, without much luck, however.
		During World War II the Germans integrated Danevirke as a means of defense against the feared allied invasion from the North Sea, in which the structure would bolster German defenses in case of an Allied conquest of Jutland.

		The Danevirke stretches from the marshes of west Jutland to the town of Schleswig, which lies beside the Schlei (Danish: Slien) on the Baltic Sea coast, near the former Viking trade centre of Hedeby.
		The Danevirke was strengthened at the beginning of the 12th century: the moats were deepened and the ramparts were made higher.
		The Danevirke began to lose its purpose in the 14th century, owing both to the expense of manning it and to the development of ballistas, trebuchets, and similar siege engines.

	Dannewerk - LoveToKnow 1911
		DANNEWERK, or Danewerk (Danish, Dannevirke or Danevirke, " Danes' rampart"), the ancient frontier rampart of the Danes against the Germans, extending 102 m.
		After the union of Schleswig and Holstein under the Danish crown, the Danevirke fell into decay, but in 1848 it was hastily strengthened by the Danes, who were, however, unable to hold it in face of the superiority of the Prussian artillery, and on the 23rd of April it was stormed.
		From 1850 onwards it was again repaired and strengthened at great cost, and was considered impregnable; but in the war of 1864 the Prussians turned it by crossing the Schlei,.and it was abandoned by the Danes on the 6th of February without a blow.

	Northvegr - A History of the Vikings
		The port of Hedeby was situated on the coast of Hedeby Nor 2 miles to the east of the Danevirke; it was enclosed by a semicircular dyke shutting off an area of 54 acres and connected with the main Danevirke by a dyke without a ditch.
		South of Hedeby and running westwards to the southern bulge of the Danevirke is another fortification, the Kurvirke or Kograv, a dyke 3 3/4 miles long with a ditch on its south side; this is obviously a forward extension of the frontier protecting Hedeby.
		It is supposed that the connecting dyke between Hedeby and the Danevirke proper was built by Harald Gormsson (late ninth century), but the date of the Kurvirke is uncertain.

	The North Germanic Walls of Danevirke and Götavirke
		It has always been out of question to write the history of Roman Britain without mentioning the Hadrian's wall.
		Sadly, it has been often typical to write the history of the Scandinavian kingdoms without mentioning the Danish wall of Danevirke and the Swedish Götavirke.
		The historical importance of these walls have been underestimated, and the interpretation of Scandinavian history has lost important aspects, such as understanding the conflict between the Christian Frankish empire and Norse Scandinavia as a cultural conflict.

		Buildings are going up, which speaks well for the district, but a good railway station, such as the one at Tahoraite, is badly wanted.
