Schanzenfeld is a small community about 1 km south of Winkler, Manitoba, Canada. It is located in the Rural Municipality of Stanley. Largely a Mennonite community, its close vicinity to Winkler has made it a suburb of the much larger City of Winkler. The village was named after Jacob Yost Shantz ^[1], a businessman from Ontario who helped German speaking Mennonites migrate from Imperial Russia to southern Manitoba.
