History+

The origins of the Schwarzenacker settlement date back to around the time of Christ's birth. It developed into a Roman Vicus, a rural settlement or market town of regional importance. Its existence came to an end in 275 AD when the settlement was destroyed by attacks from the Alamanni. Systematic exploration and excavation of the Roman sites began under the direction of archaeologist Alfons Kolling, who played a role in establishing the current museum.
