Jupiter Column on the Feldberg

Highlight • Monument

A little below the Saalburg on the way to Hohemark you will be surprised by this very high, impressive column. The gold-plated figure on the top shines most beautifully at dusk.

Not far south of the Saalburg is a replica of a Jupiter column found in Mainz in 1904/05. The replica was made by the Mainz sculptor Eduard Schmahl and completed in 1912. The approximately 12-meter-high Jupiter column is a listed building. The figure was renovated between 2011 and 2014.

Saalburg Roman Fort and Museum

Highlight • Historical Site

The archaeological excavations at the Saalburg began in the mid-19th century. From 1894, the ancient studies Louis Jacobi led the excavations and from 1897 to 1907 the reconstruction of the fort, promoted by the antique enthusiastic Kaiser Wilhelm II. For the reconstruction Jacobi oriented himself to the designs of ancient models, so that the existing parts of today's plant an approximately faithful to the original impression Offer. Today, the complex houses the Saalburg Museum and a research institute. Around the reconstructed fort they tried to rebuild a Roman landscape with the camp village, temples, sanctuaries and public buildings. To visit today are so among other things, the Jupiter Column and the Temple of Mithras. In 2005 UNESCO included the Upper German-Raetian Limes and thus the Saalburg in the list of world cultural heritage.
