Titelberg Oppidum

The settlement of Titelberg dates back to the Iron Age, featuring early, two-phase section fortifications. Titelberg experienced its heyday in the last century BC and the first quarter of the 1st century AD as a fortified town (oppidum) of the Treveri. It developed into the most important political and economic center in the western part of the tribal territory. Around 30 BC, renovations and new constructions took place, possibly in connection with the Treveri uprising. After the Roman conquest and the founding of Augusta Treverorum (Trier), Titelberg gradually lost its importance from 20 BC onwards but remained inhabited until the first decades of the 1st century AD. In the second half of the 1st century AD, a provincial Roman village (vicus) was established here, which existed until the 5th century AD. In modern times, iron ore was mined on Titelberg, which, while unearthing archaeological finds, also partially altered the original topography.

The Oppidum Titelberg is located on a plateau mountain approximately 382 meters above sea level in the municipality of Petange, in the canton of Esch-sur-Alzette, within the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

Today, visitors can explore the Oppidum Titelberg. The remains of the mighty fortifications, particularly the collapsed defensive wall in the southeast, which still stands up to 10 meters high, convey a vivid impression of the site's former grandeur.
