Römisches Militärlager Ingolstadt-Zuchering, Roman military archaeological site in Zuchering, Germany
Description
The Roman military camp of Ingolstadt-Zuchering is an archaeological site with rectangular structures and defensive trenches spread across one hectare of farmland. Excavations revealed a typical 1st-century fortress, and its layout remains visible in the landscape today.
History
The camp was established in the 1st century when Rome fortified the Danube frontier and stationed troops at strategic positions. Archaeologists discovered three military camps here and a section of the southern Danube road between 1978 and 1982.
Culture
The finds from the camp reveal how Roman soldiers lived and worked in this place day to day. Cooking vessels, tools, and personal items provide insight into the regular routines of a garrison stationed at the empire's frontier.
Practical
The site is located southeast of Seehof and is today an open field with no visitor facilities on site. To see the artifacts and learn more about the camp's history, visit the Ingolstadt City Museum.
Did you know?
The Sandrach River flows through the area along an ancient Danube riverbed, passing a few hundred meters northwest of the camp. This water course was likely one of the reasons the Romans chose to build a fortress at this spot.
