The excavated in the autumn of 1896 and the end of August 1897, [18] oriented exactly in the north-south direction Balineum (bath) of the series type was professionally preserved after careful investigations by Baatz. The bricks used for the construction of the first bathing facilities came from the Legion bricks near the castle of Höchst (Frankfurt am Main). This is illustrated by the found brick stamps of Legio XXII Primigenia pia fidelis . The stamps allowed Baatz to set the construction period to the middle of the 2nd century when the Front Limes originated. [5]The timber-framed lobby in the south of the bath is today indicated by short wooden posts erected at the locations of the found post pits. At this point, during the first construction phase, there was a large, almost square apodyterium (changing room, A), with handling. The massive masonry of the first bath that the visitors entered was very carefully executed. Here was first a rectangular Frigidarium (Kaltbad, F) to the west of a small, rectangular annex was connected, which gave a cold water basin ( Piscina , P) place. Subsequently, the next room north of the Frigidarium was the heated Tepidarium(Laubad, T). Between Kaltbad and Laubad an almost square sudatorium (Schwitzbad, S) had been cultivated on the eastern outer wall . The tepidarium was adjoined to the north by the Caldarium (Warmbad, C), which to the west had a semicircular apse with a hot tub. The building was completed with a small, rectangular basin in the north, which was also attached to the Caldarium and also belonged to the Warmbad area. Both in the outer area north of this basin and in the eastern outer niche between the Schwitzbad and the large Warmbad was ever a Praefurnium (boiler room, H). [19] To 185 AD.. Were first repairs to theBalineum . After that, it remained in use until after 200 AD. This date can be deduced from the final coin signed in Rome in 199/200 , a denarius of the Emperor Septimius Severus (193-211), which is the last testimony of the older bath. As Conrady already pointed out, the building was probably destroyed in a fire.
