On the horizon, on the ridge, you can see the wind turbines. They are at Vielbrunn-Windlücke. (Yes, there is a replica of a Roman wooden watchtower up there).
When the Roman squire was alive, the Limes watchtowers stood up there, within sight of the villa. A signal flare could quickly alert.
Because of its lavish furnishings, there is an assumption that the Villa Haselburg was not a classic Roman estate, but rather a summer residence of Roman nobility from Dieburg. But that is not proven.

The Roman Villa Haselburg was a manor (so-called Villa rustica) from the time of the colonization of the Odenwald by the Romans. The complex, largely visible after archaeological excavations, near the village of Hummetroth near Höchst in the Odenwald in Hesse, is designed as an open-air museum and freely accessible.

The villa rustica "Haselburg" is one of the several hundred well-known manors from the Roman era in Hesse. It is the largest known facility of this type and the most extensively researched by excavations.

Great facility reconstructed in the 1980s/90s. An absolutely worthwhile visit, especially with children.

Here you can experience ancient history dating back to Roman times. You should take the time for that. Thanks to the many volunteers and the informative lecture by the nice old gentleman of the association. Thank you very much.
