Unterschwaningen

• Unterschwaningen between the Hesselberg and the Fränkischen Seenland

  The municipality is not far from the Dennenloher
  Lake between the Hesselberg in the west and the
  Franconian Lake District in the east. Its first documentary
  reference dates from 1053. The Celts and
  the Romans left visible traces in the fields surrounding
  Unterschwaningen. There was a Roman
  wooden fort in Unterschwaningen as early as 90
  A.D. The Limes crosses the municipality over a
  distance of about 2.5 km with numerous visible
  archaeological monuments, such as a reconstructed
  section of the Limes wall, the site of a watchtower,
  fort Dambach with arena and vicus. The
  heyday of this municipality was in the 18th century
  when the countesses of Brandenburg-Ansbach
  had their summer residence there.
