The relevant text in the Annals (II, 19) records: At last they chose a spot closed in by a river and by forests, within which was a narrow swampy plain.
It is also conceivable that the Angrivarian Wall was just built during the campaign of Germanicus in order to fulfil a strategic function as part of Arminius' tactics.
Especially in the period from the 19th century to the 1960s, numerous suggestions were put forward about the location of the Angrivarian Wall, e.g. by Paul Höfer (1885),[2] Friedrich Knoke (1887),[3] Otto Dahm (1902),[4] Carl Schuchhardt u. a.
Important contributions to the literature about the campaigns of Germanicus have been published by Dieter Timpe (1967;[10] 1968[11]) or Reinhard Wolters (2000;[12] 2008[13]), without going into great detail about the Angrivarian Wall, let alone attempting to locate it.
The Battlefield of Kalkriese has not played a part in the efforts to locate the Angrivarian Wall, at least in established historical research.
