Heidetrank Oppidum, Celtic fortified settlement in Oberursel, Germany.
The Heidetrank Oppidum extends over a large area with defensive walls stretching across 10 kilometers and includes six entrance gates through its ramparts.
This Celtic settlement reached its peak during the late La Tène period and functioned as a major trade center until the mid-first century BC.
Archaeological excavations at the site have uncovered numerous agricultural tools, including plowshares, scythes, and Celtic coins from the ancient settlement period.
The archaeological site sits at an elevation of 421 meters and can be reached through marked hiking trails in the Taunus region.
The settlement produced its own currency, particularly the Nauheim Quinarius coins, which were minted within the oppidum's boundaries.
