Kastell Öhringen-West, Roman military fort in Öhringen, Germany
Located on a terrace between the Ohrn River and Maßholderbach stream, this Roman fort measures 159 meters long and 152 meters wide, covering 2.18 hectares.
Built around 160 CE, the fort served as a garrison for the Cohors I Helvetiorum until its abandonment during the Alamannic invasions in 260 CE.
Archaeological excavations at the site revealed multiple altars and statues dedicated to Roman deities, including Nymphs and Hercules, showing religious practices of soldiers.
The archaeological remains now lie beneath the Hohenloher Hospital, with artifacts from the site displayed at the Weygang Museum in Öhringen.
The fort underwent multiple construction phases, evolving from wooden structures to stone fortifications, with heating systems and water supply infrastructure still visible today.
