View on map:50.313702°N 8.634535°E

Description

Between the fort and the limes are the very well-preserved foundations of the fort bath built no later than the middle of the second century, which is a fine example of the uniaxial thermal architecture of the Romans (so-called row type ). The apodyterium (locker room) probably consisted of half timbered and is no longer preserved. The structures of all other rooms (a frigidarium (cold bath), two tepidariums (leafy willow), a caldarium (warm bath) and a sudatorium (sweat bath)) are conserved, giving the visitor the construction of such a balinealopens up very well. The individual departments were aligned in the logical sequence of bathing on the west gate of the fort. The energy supply of the bathing facility was carried out over three Praefurnien (lighting stations), except for the Apodyterium and the Frigidarium all rooms were heated via Hypokausten . The water supply was ensured by a nearby, still existing source.
