Römerkastell Saarbrücken, Roman fort in Saarbrücken, Germany.
The Römerkastell spans 0.66 hectares with a polygonal layout, featuring a rectangular section in the southwest and a trapezoidal structure in the northeast.
Built after 352 CE at the intersection of European long-distance roads from Metz to Mainz and Strasbourg to Trier, the fort protected the Saar River crossing.
The foundations reveal sophisticated Roman construction techniques, using sandstone blocks joined with high-quality mortar and including floor heating systems.
The restored foundation walls of the fort are accessible in a small park located near the bus and tram stop on Mainzer Strasse.
Archaeological excavations in 2009 uncovered a complete Roman skeleton in a late Roman burial site near the fortress.
