The Roman geographer Strabo already mentioned the settlement of Damasia on the Auerberg as "like an acropolis." The settlement is probably the oldest Roman civilian settlement in Bavaria. The approximately 1,055-meter-high Auerberg (sometimes referred to today as the "Swabian Rigi") offers a good panoramic view of the Allgäu Alpine foothills and lies directly on the Via Claudia Augusta. Therefore, it was settled by the Romans as early as 13 AD, but abandoned again in 40 AD because the climatic conditions up there were probably too harsh. In good weather, you can see as far as the Zugspitze and the Bregenz Forest – the best view is from the tower of the St. George Chapel.

The oldest Roman town-like settlement in Bavaria was located on the Auerberg at an altitude of 1,000 meters – "like an acropolis," as the Greco-Roman geographer and historian Strabo once described it. He mentions Damasia – most likely the name of this place – in the same breath as the important Roman sites of Brigantium (Bregenz) and Cambodunum (Kempten). In the military and artisan settlement on the Auerberg – not far from the route of the Via Claudia Augusta – there were numerous wooden structures (so-called "strip houses") up to 20 meters long, as well as a large workshop (fabrica) where catapults for arrows were manufactured. The extensive mountain settlement was fortified by a three-kilometer-long circular wall, much of which can still be seen today.
