Kastell Eislingen-Salach, Roman auxiliary fort site near Eislingen and Salach, Germany.
Kastell Eislingen-Salach was a Roman military fort that occupied roughly 220 acres of land near two small rivers. The compound consisted of earthen ramparts, defensive ditches, and wooden structures without stone walls.
The fort was built around 125 AD and served as a boundary defense post for roughly 35 years. Its role ended when Roman military strategy shifted in this region.
The site reflects how Romans organized and defended their borders deep in Germanic territory. Visitors can grasp how soldiers lived daily life here and monitored the frontier.
The fort lies beneath farmland east of Eislingen and is not accessible for walking around. Visitors can only view the area from outside unless they gain permission from local authorities for research.
Aerial photographs reveal the entire rectangular shape of the fort even though it sits completely buried underground. This hidden structure became visible only through modern photography techniques.
