Hohe Schanze stands in Freden (Leine) (Landkreis Hildesheim), in Lower Saxony, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Hohe Schanze is an early medieval hilltop fortification on a spur of the Sackwald forest, standing 326 metres high near Winzenburg. It consists of several successive earthworks of banks and ditches, the outermost line dating back to the pre-Roman Iron Age, while the main medieval stronghold occupied the central part of the spur. Excavations uncovered a timber-lined gate passage, the foundations of a tower, a chapel and wooden houses, now marked along a historical trail. No standing walls remain today, only earthen ramparts partly covered by shrubs.
