Römergrab von Nehren, Roman burial site in Nehren, Germany

The burial chamber contains two double-story chambers measuring 3 by 4 meters each, with upper structures designed as funeral temples.

The tomb, dating from the 3rd to 4th century AD, remained known to local inhabitants before Paul Steiner officially documented it in 1912.

The western burial chamber houses the most preserved vault paintings found north of the Alps, featuring red bands and lattice segments with leaf decorations.

The site maintains regulated humidity levels through conservation measures implemented since 2003 to prevent damage to the ancient structure.

The construction materials include graywacke, bricks, and stone plates made from green diabase and gray marble, bonded with dolomitic lime.

Location: Rhineland-Palatinate
