Uedem-Hochwald
Earthwork remains of a Roman training camp in Uedem-Hochwald.
A complete Roman army military exercise site consisting of 13 training camps was discovered in Uedem-Hochwald in 1994. Most of the earthworks of these camps are around 50cm high and still visible today. The camps were constructed between the 1st and 3rd century AD.

Note:
The archaeological remains that make up the Lower Germanic Limes (NGL) UNESCO World Heritage Site are all very well preserved. Most of these structures are buried underground and well protected. Some are visible above ground. So far, there is very little on-site information explaining the history and significance of these finds. We are currently working on a comprehensive package of information and presentation resources to promote public understanding of these sites.
