In 1970, the then chairman of the archaeological working group of the Historical Association of Central Baden e.V. was driving past the present Roman settlement on a train and discovered Roman ledge tiles on a freshly plowed meadow. A few years later, the archaeological excavation began. The ground plans of the former Roman road station, dating back to the 1st century AD, are located on the Roman road between Basel and Mainz. Several house ground plans - with original foundations and partly marked by tree trunks -, a well and a fireplace show the supply function of this site. A small temple on the site displays a statue of a god reconstructed from found fragments. The Roman goddess Diana, protector of women and slaves was worshipped here. In addition to the remains of buildings, shards of tableware, various tools and a silver denarius were also found. The Roman settlement is a protected archaeological monument. Information boards on site provide understandable explanations.
Directions: Coming from Friesenheim, after the railroad bridge, the entrance to the Roman settlement is on the left side.
