Kastell Eislingen-Salach

The rectangular archaeological complex spans 2.2 hectares of land, featuring defensive ditches and remnants of wooden fortification structures from Roman times.

Established around 125 AD during the Hadrianic period, the fort remained operational until 159 AD as part of the frontier defense system between Raetia and Germania Superior.

Archaeological investigations at the site since 1966 have provided evidence of Roman military construction techniques and border defense strategies in ancient Germania.

The archaeological site lies beneath agricultural fields east of Eislingen/Fils and requires special permission from local authorities for research visits.

Aerial photographs reveal the complete outline of this wooden-earth fort, which never received stone fortifications despite its strategic location.
