Here in the north of today's federal city of Bonn, almost on the border with the city of Bornheim, traces of Roman settlement have been preserved. A replica heavy-duty crane illustrates the engineering skills of the time.

The Roman crane is a reconstruction. The crane is interesting and is also close to the Rhine. It is worth to look at him and the Jewish cemetery next door with the same.

Like a hamster wheel, the crane was operated by four to six soldiers. Two people ran in the wheel and stones weighing several tons were moved as if with a block and tackle. Such construction equipment was certainly also used for the stone construction of the Bonn camp for buildings and walls
