Informative display boards tell you about the find here and about the cult of Mithras. You can see the replicated floor plan of the refilled temple.

"In 1974 the ruins of a Roman sanctuary were uncovered in Riegel: a Mithras temple. The Roman soldiers worshiped Mithras, the god of light, who was invincible like the sun and therefore the soldiers' favorite god spreads that one can definitely speak of a religion. Interesting are the similarities between the Mithras cult and Christianity. "

The fort boundary must have been at this point at the time.

Riegel has an ancient history - there was already a Roman fort with a temple here.
