Kastell Öhringen-Ost, Roman military fort in Öhringen, Germany.
The Kastell Öhringen-Ost covered 2.20 hectares of land and featured defensive walls with rounded corners and gates aligned to cardinal directions.
Archaeological excavations between 1892 and 1894 by Ernst von Herzog documented the fort's dimensions and revealed its role in the Roman frontier defense system.
The garrison of Cohors I Helvetiorum maintained this strategic outpost, which formed part of the Upper German-Raetian Limes UNESCO World Heritage site.
The archaeological site was completely transformed into a residential area after 1945, with selected artifacts now displayed in the Weygang Museum and Limes Museum.
Excavations in 1957 uncovered evidence of prehistoric settlements, including remnants possibly connected to the Linear Pottery culture beneath the Roman structures.
