In ancient times, the Upper German Limes ran straight through the country in this part of today's Germany and separated the Roman world from that of the Germanic peoples for about 200 years. At the same time it also marked a boundary between different levels of wealth. On the Roman side many lived comfortable, sometimes luxurious, lives. The Germanic tribes wanted to share in the treasures in the Roman provinces, to get everything they didn't have at home. Therefore, the Limes was attacked again and again from the 3rd century AD. During attacks and raids, the Germanic warriors broke through the border fortifications and trespassed deep into the southwest. Gradually, the Romans were able to protect their frontiers more and more poorly and finally Rome gave up the anti-Germanic protective wall completely from 259/260 AD. Now the way was finally free for the Germanic peoples, who moved from northern Germany to the southwest due to climatic changes and wanted to settle there. See less
