History

The first time this village was populated was between 3000 and 200 BC. It then consisted of a Celtic settlement Lopodunum (="sea tower"). In the year 40 the Romans populated the town as a farmer/military outpost and kept its Celtic name. The local territory formed the civilian district of Civitas Ulpia Sueborum Nicretum ("Neckarsuebi"), of which Lopodunum was the chief town. In 74 AD the Romans founded the town Auxiliarkastelle which included a supply-keeping town, which was the center of the future town. The garrison included a regiment of cavalry made up from the Canaefaten.
