Kneblinghausen, Roman military site in Rüthen, Germany
The archaeological ruins of Kneblinghausen extend over 10 hectares, featuring defensive walls and characteristic clavicula-type gates from the Roman period.
The site was discovered in 1901 by teacher A. Hartmann, leading to multiple excavation campaigns between 1901 and 1939 that revealed two distinct construction phases.
Archaeological findings at Kneblinghausen demonstrate the intersection of Roman military architecture with Germanic settlement patterns during the first century CE.
Visitors can access the archaeological site through marked forest paths south of modern Kneblinghausen, where remains of the Roman fortification walls are visible.
The fortification includes specialized clavicula gates, a defensive architecture element that helped protect Roman troops by forcing approaching visitors to expose their unshielded side.
