Römische Ruwerwasserleitung, Roman aqueduct in Waldrach, Germany
The Ruwer Water Conduit spans 12.8 kilometers through the Ruwer Valley, constructed with sandstone blocks, slate stones, and limestone mortar.
Built in the early 2nd century CE, this aqueduct supplied water to ancient Trier, known as Augusta Treverorum, from the Ruwer River.
The aqueduct delivered water to important Roman structures in Trier, including the Imperial Baths and Barbara Baths, supporting daily life.
Visitors can examine both original sections and reconstructed parts of the aqueduct at two locations in Waldrach along the Ruwer Valley Road.
The water system transported 25,000 cubic meters daily through a channel measuring 74 centimeters wide and 96 centimeters high.
