Dangstetten, Roman military camp in Küssaberg, Germany
The archaeological site stretches across a high terrace near the Rhine River, surrounded by hills of the Randen region in southern Baden-Württemberg.
The military camp, constructed after the Alpine campaigns around 15 BCE, served as a base for the XIX Legion until its abandonment in 9 BCE.
Archaeological excavations between 1967 and 1988 uncovered numerous artifacts, including pottery, metalwork, and evidence of daily military life from the Roman period.
The site maintains protected status as a cultural monument, with recovered artifacts displayed at the Archaeological Museum Colombischlössle in Freiburg.
The garrison accommodated 5,000 to 6,000 soldiers and included specialized workshops for potters, blacksmiths, and carpenters within its fortified perimeter.
