Additional info/contents	The walls of Babylon, the Great Wall of China, the limes of the Roman Empire and the Berlin Wall are just a few examples of the walls mankind has built over past centuries. Today, building walls remains an issue, often under the pretext of ‘protection’ against intruders. This idea inspired Otto M. Schwarz to write a piece about the Roman limes between Germania and Rhaetia. From around 150 to 260 AD the wall faced numerous attacks. This programmatic work describes the events as they happened a long time ago, and addresses hope that these events belong to the past forever. The Wall is a work full of action in all-instrumental groups. This is an impressive piece with strong musical images, perfect for a contest or as an apotheosis in your concert.

Programme notes *: The Limes Roman border wall in Germany is one of the most fascinating archaeological monuments of the ancient Roman Empire and an outstanding testimony to Rome's military and cultural presence in Central Europe. The Limes stretched for about 550 kilometers and served as a borderline between the Roman Empire and the Germanic tribal areas, particularly the Chatti, Alamanni and others. The construction of the Limes began in the late 1st century AD under Emperor Domitian and was continually expanded and strengthened over the following centuries. The Limes consisted of a variety of fortifications, watchtowers, palisades, ditches and military camps that were built along the border to protect the Roman Empire from attacks by the Germanic tribes and to control the border. One of the most striking features of the Limes was the Upper Germanic-Raetian Limes, which stretched from Rheinbrohl on the Rhine to Eining on the Danube. This section of the Limes was particularly well preserved and was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2005. The Limes served not only as a military border, but also as a trade route, administrative border and cultural interface between the Roman and Germanic regions. Numerous settlements, trading posts and bases emerged along the Limes, which shaped the daily life of the Roman soldiers and the local population. The Roman presence on the Limes had a significant impact on the local population and regional development. Roman culture, architecture, agriculture and technology left a lasting mark on the region that is still visible today. Over time, however, the Limes lost its strategic importance as the Roman Empire was increasingly shaken by internal conflicts and external threats. In the 3rd century AD the Limes was finally abandoned and gradually fell into disrepair. Today parts of the Limes in Germany are accessible as archaeological sites and tourist attractions. Visitors can hike along the Limes, explore the remains of Roman fortifications and watchtowers, and learn more about life on the Roman frontier. The Limes in Germany is not only an impressive historical monument, but also a symbol of the diversity and cultural exchange in the history of Europe. He reminds us of how Roman civilization shaped western Central Europe and how the encounter between different cultures and peoples can shape the history and development of a region.
