The Rheinkastell Association, founded in 1994, has set itself the goal of preserving the military-historical important sites in Schaaren for posterity and making them accessible to a wider public. Under his initiative, the former south bastion of the Rheinkastell was partially reconstructed, with the active support of Genius Department 46 of the Swiss Army.

In the Schaarenwald - west of Diessenhofen on the Upper Rhine - there is a place steeped in history; Here were found: arrowheads from the Stone Age, vessels from the Late Bronze Age (9th century BC), remains of a Roman watchtower (4th century AD). It was around here that the Austrians crossed the Rhine in 1799; a bunker from WWII is still there.
An association takes care of the processing and securing of the finds, see rheinkastell.ch

The old Rhine fort of Schaaren, located in the forest of the same name, is no longer readily apparent. However, detailed information about it is available along a nature trail that provides insights into this historically significant area.
