Kastell Neckarburken, Roman fort complex in Neckarburken, Germany
Kastell Neckarburken consists of two separate Roman fortifications built at different times. The western fort served as the main garrison, while the eastern one functioned as an additional defense line.
The site was established around 100 AD as part of the defensive line along the Roman frontier. It was abandoned after about 60 years as military strategy in the region shifted.
The remains show how Roman soldiers lived and worked in this frontier region. Visitors can picture daily life in a remote outpost of the empire.
The site is partly accessible on foot but reveals limited above-ground structures for viewing. Visiting during dry weather helps reveal archaeological features more clearly.
Canal construction in the 1980s unexpectedly uncovered a Roman bathhouse hidden beneath the eastern fort. This discovery revealed how comfortable living conditions were for the garrison.
