Anreppen

Located on the southern bank of the Lippe River, this 23-hectare Roman fortress includes remains of defensive walls, barracks, and administrative buildings.

The camp, established in 4 CE under Tiberius, served as a strategic base for Roman military operations during the Germanic campaigns until approximately 7 CE.

The praetorium, measuring 3,378 square meters, represents the largest commanding officer residence among all military camps along the Lippe River.

Visitors can explore the archaeological site through marked paths and digital reconstructions accessible via smartphone applications introduced in 2023.

Archaeological excavations revealed evidence of accommodation facilities for 6,000 soldiers and thermal baths where troops exercised and maintained personal hygiene.
