Haltern, Roman military settlement in Haltern am See, Germany.
The Roman fortress spans 19 hectares along the Lippe River, containing military structures, temples, and extensive infrastructure systems from ancient times.
The settlement was established around 5 BCE when commander Tiberius relocated troops from Oberaden, transforming Haltern into a strategic military base.
The Westfälisches Römermuseum exhibits numerous artifacts, including weapons, tools, and personal items discovered during excavations at the Roman camp.
Visitors can explore the archaeological site through guided tours that explain the layout of the ancient fortress and its military significance.
Two rectangular temple structures with a ceremonial pit between them represent the first documented religious buildings within a Roman military camp.
