Why visit

Circular ramparts were built on the heights above Miltenberg in the Neolithic and the late Bronze Age, and in the 150s the Roman empire pushed its fortified border through here.

Origins and history

In pre-Roman times circular ramparts were built on the Greinberg above Miltenberg and on the Bürgstadter Berg; they were in use as early as the Neolithic Michelsberg culture and mostly date from the late Bronze Age Urnfield culture. In the 150s AD the Roman Empire moved its fortified border outwards through this stretch of Germania.
