Römisches Bad

Römisches Bad is an archaeological site near Wurmlingen featuring the remains of a stone bath complex. The structure included separate rooms for different water temperatures connected by an underground heating system that warmed the floors and walls.

The complex was built at the end of the 1st century near a natural spring and initially used timber framing. It was later reconstructed in stone, marking the Roman period of settlement in this region.

The bath reflects how Germanic settlers adopted and modified the Roman structure after the empire withdrew from the region. Visitors can observe how the building was adapted over time, showing the blending of two different peoples in daily life.

The site is open to visitors on Sunday afternoons from June through September, with guided tours available through the Roman Bath Association. It helps to remember the location near a natural spring, which provided the water supply essential for the ancient bathing systems.

Archaeologists discovered a well-preserved Roman drain cover embedded in the floor, along with a panther brooch and an eagle-headed carriage ornament. These objects offer rare insight into the daily life and personal possessions of those who lived here.
