Kleinkastell Robern, Roman fort ruins in Fahrenbach, Germany

The stone fortification of Kleinkastell Robern measures 20 by 21 meters, featuring rounded corners constructed entirely from red sandstone with walls reaching one meter thick.

The Roman garrison, established during Emperor Trajan's reign until 159 CE, formed part of the Neckar-Odenwald-Limes frontier system protecting the empire's boundaries.

Archaeological excavations in 1893 by the Reich Limes Commission revealed timber-frame building traces through clay fragments found within the defensive structure.

The site stands at 442 meters above sea level between Wagenschwend and Robern, with the main entrance positioned on the eastern side spanning 2.96 meters wide.

The fortress walls originally displayed white mortar plaster coating, while inside, researchers found no stone buildings but evidence of wooden constructions through discovered clay pieces.
