Limes Museum

The Limes Museum is located on what was formerly the largest Roman fort north of the Alps. The fact that the ancient Roman Limes is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site gives this Roman Museum (the largest in Germany), an important distinction.

As a matter of historical fact and a surprise twist for history passionaters, Rommel did spend a little more than two calendar years (between the actual debarkation of his troops in Tripoli on February 12, 1941, and March 9, 1943, and his last steps within the deserted soil) in Africa, reduced with long-short voyages back to Europe.

Erwin Rommel spent the larger half of his life, particularly before the outbreak of the Great War (First World War), no further than in his homeland in Germany. The first 27 years of his life can be attributed as being a citizen next to Emp
