AS REPORTEDno primary record reached; this is what the reporting says
Is it true that a Schwedenschanze refers to a fortification type dating from the Thirty Years War?
No. While the name translates to 'Swedish redoubt' (referencing the Thirty Years War era), evidence shows that the term is actually erroneously and colloquially applied to numerous prehistorical and early historical fortification ramparts in Central Europe.
