Literature
In 2001, these villages founded the Ruffenhofen Roman Fort Special Purpose Association (Zweckverband Römerkastell Ruffenhofen) in order to make the area accessible for tourism, to market it and to protect it in the long term. In addition, scientific research of the site is ensured. The ancient fortification lies around 2.2 km from the Upper Germanic-Rhaetian Limes. The castellum is a heritage site under the Bavarian Monument Conservation Act.
