"May this Roman fort, re-erected, following Roman techniques as closely as possible, as a monument to past rulers' power and rich cultural influence, instil in its visitors an understanding of the character of past times, awaken their sense of history, and inspire them to further research"

These were the words of the last German emperor Wilhelm II in 1900. He had ordered an extensive excavation, restoration and reconstruction project of the the Roman fort "Saalburg", located northwest of Bad Homburg. The original camp was erected in AD 135, and was abandoned by AD 260, as the province of Germania fell to the enemies of Rome.

Since 2005, as part of the Upper Limes Germanicus, it forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage site.
