The medieval cemetery "Judensand" on Mombacher Straße is largely preserved. Time and again, expulsions of the Jewish community led to clearances and alterations, causing many gravestones to be lost.

The oldest preserved…

The cemetery was still in use until 1804. Today, a small grove reminds visitors of its former location, and in front of it, a small rest area invites people to linger.
In the mid-4th century, the city wall that had existed until then, originally dating back to the 3rd century, was renovated. The wall was significantly shortened, so that the Roman theater, the abandoned legionary camp, and other central parts of the city were located outside. In the renovation, old building stones (spolia) from the barracks were reused. The sandstone paving of the camp road, which led to the former porta praetoria , remained in use. To allow the use of this important road, the city wall was interrupted at this point by a…
