Roman Villa Weilberg

The earliest traces of settlement on the Weilberg date back to the Late La Tène period around 50 BC. The Roman villa itself began its development around 20/30 AD, initially with wooden structures. At the beginning of the 2nd century AD, it was expanded in stone, resulting in a multi-story manor house. Until the 4th century, the complex underwent various alterations before it was destroyed around the middle of the 4th century, presumably due to Germanic invasions. Coin finds confirm this, with the latest mintings dating from 348 AD. In the second half of the 4th century, a smaller estate was built slightly below, partly incorporating existing outbuildings. Roman settlement in this area ended in the early 5th century AD.
