Archaeological Garden (Augsburg)
The Archaeological Garden in Augsburg contains Roman building remains and shows examples of Roman building techniques.
description
The open space used as an archaeological garden was to be built over in 1991 and an underground car park built underneath. During extensive excavations between 1992 and 1996, foundations and finds of a large Roman building (probably thermal baths) were found on the site. On July 1, 2010, the Augsburg city council decided to keep the site. Together with the Langner Foundation , the city of Augsburg was able to raise funds for keeping and designing the archaeological garden and bought the site from the Catholic Church.
The preparatory excavations took place on an area of around 2,000 m². The archaeological park has an area of approximately 400 m².
The garden in Äußere Pfaffengässchen was opened on July 8, 2011.
In the area of the archaeological garden are the ground monuments: D-7-7631-0514 (capital of the Roman province of Raetia ) , D-7-7631-0520 (medieval and early modern findings) and D-7-7631-0529 (monastery of the early Modern times ).
Protective measures
Most of the facility is without a roof. On the slightly raised rear area, visitors can get a Mediterranean impression in summer due to the open location and the plants. The example buildings hypocaust heating and infill as well as the preserved hearth are covered.
Others
There is a public drinking fountain in the complex.
