Waldgirmes Forum, Archaeological excavation site in Lahnau, Germany.
The Roman settlement at Waldgirmes contains stone buildings, a central forum, and foundations measuring 54 by 45 meters within an eight-hectare complex.
The Romans established this settlement around 4 BC under Drusus command, but abandoned it following the Battle of Teutoburg Forest in 9 CE.
Excavations have revealed both Roman and Germanic pottery types, indicating direct interactions between these populations during the early first century CE.
Visitors can examine archaeological findings from Waldgirmes at the Heimatmuseum and the Archaeological Museum of Frankfurt am Main.
The site contains fragments of a gilded bronze equestrian statue of Emperor Augustus, which was left behind during the rapid evacuation.
