The site of the Roman Open-Air Museum Hechingen Stein was discovered in 1972. Subsequent excavations from 1978 to 1981 unveiled the remnants of a large Roman villa rustica. This villa included residential and economic buildings, all enclosed within a wall. This discovery provides a unique insight into the architectural and societal structures of the Roman era.
