Signs for the road in front of Iuliomagus

Excerpt from the "Peutinger Map"

Course of the Roman road Neckar-Alb-Aare

The Roman road Neckar-Alb-Aare is now designated as a holiday route in southern Baden-Württemberg between Neckar and Lake Constance / Upper Rhine and in the Swiss Lake Constance area. It is part of the former long-distance connection from Comum over the Julier Pass to the central Neckarland to Muttensium and Augusta Vindelicum with a connection to the Donausüdstraße .

course

The route of the holiday route is essentially based on the course of an old Roman road shown on the Peutinger tablet . This led in its southern section in Switzerland from the legionary camp Vindonissa ( Windisch ) via Tenedo ( Bad Zurzach ) through the Klettgau to the Swiss Iuliomagus ( Schleitheim ) and from there again in Germany to Brigobannis ( Hüfingen ) via Arae Flaviae ( Rottweil ) and Sumelocenna ( Rottenburg am Neckar ) to Grinario ( Köngen ).

Today's holiday route is divided into three sections: the “Neckar-Alb” and “Neckar-Aare” sections follow the route described above and connect the places shown on the Peutinger tablet and other sights between Köngen in the Esslingen district and Vindonissa ( Windisch / Brugg ) in the canton of Aargau . The Neckar-Hochrhein section leads from Rottweil to Hegau near Engen and to the Hochrhein. It runs through the Swiss canton of Schaffhausen and ends in Pfyn in the canton of Thurgau .

Attractions

Köngen: 1800 years ago there was a Roman village with a fort that secured the Neckar crossing of the Roman Mainz-Augsburg trunk road. Outside the fort there is a milestone after which, after 29,000 double steps (approx. 42.9 km) Sumelocenna , today's Rottenburg can be reached. From the fort there are still partially rebuilt consecration altars, stone figures and a rebuilt corner tower; see: Kastell Köngen , Roman Museum with Archaeological Park Köngen
Nürtingen- Oberensingen is home to one of the largest Roman manors in Baden-Württemberg, which was rediscovered in 1988.
Pliezhausen: The 1.3 m high Mercurius relief is walled in on the tower of the church in Pliezhausen .
At Kirchentellinsfurt there is a partially reconstructed, once around 15 meter high Roman tomb, which was rediscovered in 1859. The two sphinxes to be found there are considered to be the most important representations of the Sphinx on German soil.
Rottenburg, the former Sumelocenna, is an old Roman town and was the capital of a self-governing regional body. Here you will find a Roman museum, which was built over a preserved section of the Roman city, as well as a Roman bath.
Obernau: The sources for an ancient water pipe system are in the Rommelstal. The total line of the aqueduct was 7.16 km.
An Apollo relief as well as rings, fibulae, pearls, shards of vessels and around 300 Roman coins were found in Bad Niedernau .
In Eutingen im Gäu, Rohrdorf district, a hall of the gods with the so-called "twelve gods" was found within a large Roman country estate. The site was built over, but an information board provides information at the site and casts of the most important sculpture remains are on display in the town hall.
Rangendingen / Hirrlingen: North of the municipality of Rangendingen, the Römerstraße is still clearly visible as an embankment on the right of the road to Hirrlingen.
The Roman open-air museum in Hechingen-Stein is based on a large manor that was discovered in 1973, the buildings of which have been partially reconstructed. In the meantime, a temple district has also been identified here.
Burladingen once had a fort that guarded the Roman Alb crossing; see Castle Burladingen
Geislingen-Häsenbühl: Here, on the border between the provinces of Upper Germany and Raetia, there was an important intersection with an imperial monument, fort and fort vicus. The finds are exhibited in the local history museum in Balingen.
In Rosenfeld, a section of a Roman manor with a bathing facility can be viewed as an open-air facility.
Sulz am Neckar is the location of an old village settlement from Roman times; see: Sulz Castle . An unusual Roman cellar can be viewed here in a protective structure.
The overturned wall within a Roman estate in Oberndorf-Bochingen made it possible for the first time to reconstruct such a building right up to the roof. In addition, an original section of the Rottweil-Rottenburg trunk road with a length of 70 m was verified in 2009.
Rottweil, former "Municipium Arae Flaviae ", the only city in the south-west of Germany with Roman city rights. Here the Dominican Museum Rottweil provides information about the life of the former Roman city in the newly designed permanent exhibition. There are also the remains of two Roman baths.
In Niedereschach / Fischbach-Sinkingen the well-preserved thermal baths of LUCIUS MARIUS VICTOR can be visited.
In Hüfingen ( Brigobannis ) you will find the ruins of a Roman military bath - under a protective building from 1820, which is also protected as a historical monument. See also: Fort Hüfingen
Schleitheim ( Iuliomagus ) shows the complete hypocaust heating system of a thermal bath as well as the exposed cellar of a residential building.

The exposed temple foundations during the 1995 excavation

In the Klettgau , the road near Geißlingen passed a former Villa Rustica at the “Heidenschlössle” (covered, partly under the present courtyard). Shortly thereafter, the route continues below the Küssaburg at the hidden excavation site of a Gallo-Roman temple , over the Bechtersbohl bottleneck and the excavated site (gravel pit) of the Dangstetten Roman camp . Some finds from the camp and remains of oak piles from the bridge Zurzach – Rheinheim to Tenedo , which existed at this point in Roman times, are exhibited in the Küssaberg Museum in Rheinheim . Somewhat away was the Roman estate near Gurtweil .

In addition to the remains of the wall of the Zurzach-Rheinheim double fort, which was used to monitor the Rhine bridge, and the information sign on the Zurzach Roman military camp in Bad Zurzach , reconstructions and finds can be viewed in the "Höfli" district museum .

In Brugg, the recently redesigned Vindonissa Museum is open to visitors.

The remains of the former Vindonissa legionary camp and the Windisch amphitheater are located in the municipality of Windisch . The Roman past can also be explored playfully on the Vindonissa Legionnaires' Path .

In Wurmlingen there are the remains of a Roman bath under a shelter; see: Roman bath (Wurmlingen)

In Engen-Bargen there is the Roman Bargen estate with ruins of the main building, a bathhouse, a large farm building and a small temple.

The foundations of a large Roman estate were restored in Tengen-Büßlingen, see also the Roman estate of Büßlingen

In Stein am Rhein you will find the ruins of the former Tasgetium fort .

Eschenz: associated settlement ( vicus ) Tasgetium . The Roman Bridge once crossed the top of the three Werd Islands in the Rhine near Eschenz (Switzerland).
