"A Treverian oppidum was located near Kastel-Staadt. The Romans probably built an almost impregnable fort on the high plateau before the turn of the century. Numerous finds from the Celtic and Roman periods have been documented in the area. During excavations in 2006-2008, a Roman theatre with 34 rows of seats in a semicircle and space for over 3,000 spectators was discovered on the plateau of Kastel-Staadt, which has been freely accessible since 2013 with a view of the Saar Valley. Kastel was first mentioned in a document in 1098.
