The Zweihänder (pronounced "tsvay-haen-dar", literally "two-handed") is a massive late medieval/early Renaissance Germanic two-handed sword with a long hilt and two parrying hooks located above the ricasso (the unsharpened lower length of a blade), allowing it to be wielded similarly to a polearm. Due to its large size it required two hands to wield, hence the name. It was used in place of a halberd against cavalry and pike formations.
