Description
Grinario - Das römische Kastell und Dorf in Köngen is a guide to archaeological monuments in Baden-Württemberg for visitors and interested parties alike. The Celtic place name 'Grinario,' which was adopted by the Romans, indicates that a Celtic settlement already existed in the area of today's municipality of Köngen in pre-Roman times.
Grinario was an important fort in Roman times and one of the largest settlements in southwest Germany. The Fort is the only Roman camp on the Neckar Limes that was not rebuilt in the post-war period. The Roman Tower at Kongen has represented the Roman camp for generations of visitors for over 70 years.
