Jupitergigantensäule von Hausen an der Zaber

The Jupiter Column stands over seven meters tall and features intricate reliefs depicting Roman deities, seasonal figures, and decorative oak leaf patterns.

The column was established around 200 CE by Gaius Vettius Connougus on his estate and was later destroyed during the Alamannic occupation between 233-235 CE.

The monument combines Roman architectural traditions with Celtic religious elements, demonstrated through the tree-worship symbolism and Jupiter-Giant imagery.

Following excavation in 1964, the original artifacts were transferred to the Roman Lapidarium in Stuttgart, while a reconstruction stands at the eastern edge of town.

The column shaft measures 51.5 centimeters at its base and 45 centimeters under the capital, displaying an exceptional arrangement of sculptured oak leaves.
