Lorch

Small fort Kleindeinbach west of the Rotenbachtal. Flat debris rampart of the defence wall visible in the forest, similar to the small fort Rötelsee. The fort with an area of almost 600 m2 played an important part in the surveillance of the Limes at the border between the Roman provinces of Upper Germany and Raetia.

A few metres east of the small fort Kleindeinbach is a prominent landmark of the Limes: starting point of the Raetian Wall (the Limes was marked by a stone wall in the region of the province of Raetia from the beginning of the 3rd century onwards). Moat and rampart were built at the same time in the province of Upper Germany. Foundations of the wall have been restored after excavation, further continuation of the wall in the form of a flat rampart.
