It is clearly visible from afar: the golden "milestone" that stands here at the entrance to Pfünz.
The art object is intended to draw attention to the Roman fort "Castra Vetoniana" on nearby Kirchberg and the Limes, which runs just eight kilometers to the north.
The artist used the golden milestone “miliarium aureum”, which once stood in the Roman Forum in Rome, as a model.

There is an elliptical metal band around the milestone. It takes up the form of an amphitheater and invites you to linger as a seat.
In the lower third of the milestone is a diorama with information about the Romans on the Limes and the "Castra Vetoniana" fort.

The UNESCO World Heritage Limes in Walting
Almost 2000 years ago, the area of the municipality of Walting was the immediate hinterland of the Limes. At the end of the 1st century AD, the Kirchberg von Pfünz became part of the border security and gained strategic importance. This is where the Roman roads Weißenburg - Kösching and Nassenfels - Böhming crossed.
The art object "Milestone" is part of the KUNSTamBANDamLIMES project, which makes the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Germanic-Raetian Limes visible and tangible in the six Limes communities of Altmannstein, Denkendorf, Kinding, Kipfenberg, Titting and Walting as well as Neustadt an der Donau.

Nice view over Pfünz below the Roman excavations.
Pfünz is an archaeological site in Germany known for its important excavations from Roman times. Remains of a Roman settlement dating back to the 1st century AD have been discovered here. The excavations in Pfünz have provided important insights into life at that time and made clear the Roman presence in the region.

Notable finds include well-preserved dwellings, bathing facilities, a hoard of coins and artefacts of everyday life. The remains of Pfünz show a prosperous Roman city with a well-developed infrastructure.
