33 centimeters of gradient to 100 meters with a total of seven kilometers of aqueduct testify to the highly developed technology of the Romans in Sumelocenna (Rottenburg) 2,000 years ago.

The aqueduct, built no earlier than around 100 AD, or perhaps even as late as the beginning of the 3rd century AD, supplied the Roman settlement of Sumelocenna with drinking water. For this purpose, a 7.16-kilometer-long aqueduct was built, carrying water from the springs in the Rommel Valley to a reservoir west of the town. From there, it was distributed via pipes to public fountains, baths, and even some private households.

On the way out of the Neckar valley, here in the Rommel valley you will pass the remains of a Roman aqueduct.
