Vicus Mülfort, Archaeological site in Mönchengladbach, Germany.
Vicus Mülfort is an archaeological site in Mönchengladbach showing remains of ancient Roman settlements. The excavation area reveals building foundations, wells, and burial sites that document the lives of its inhabitants.
The site was founded in the mid-1st century as a Roman settlement and developed into a trading hub. It ended abruptly in 274 CE when Frankish tribes destroyed the entire community.
The settlement housed artisans and traders who produced pottery and stored grain for regional exchange. The traces of religious practices reveal a community connected to its surroundings and economic networks.
The site today is an active archaeological area where research continues under professional supervision. Visitors should check ahead about accessible areas, as not all sections are open to the public.
The settlement lay at the intersection of major Roman roads that connected military camps along the Rhine. This junction made it a crucial transfer point for soldiers and merchandise moving through the region.
