Cultural heritage D-1-7034-0052 in Kipfenberg

The archaeological heritage site D-1-7034-0052 in Kipfenberg contains remains of ancient fortification structures built on elevated terrain. The excavated layers reveal occupation spanning from Roman times through later settlement periods.

During the Roman period, this promontory fort served as a defensive military position along the empire's frontier territory. Following the Roman withdrawal, new populations settled on the elevated terrain and left their own traces.

The site displays evidence of Roman military installations and Bavarian settlements that show how cultures changed over centuries. Visitors can see how different peoples shaped this hilltop through different eras.

The site can be reached by marked paths connected to the Römer und Bajuwaren Museum, where guides lead regular tours. The uneven terrain and open setting mean comfortable footwear and clear weather are helpful for exploration.

From this hilltop, Roman soldiers could monitor ancient trade and military routes connecting distant forts across the region. The vantage point allowed them to observe and control movement throughout the entire frontier.
