Reckberg is the only place on the Lower Germanic Limes where evidence has been found of a small Roman fort with a watchtower. It stood here from the early 2nd century AD until the mid 3rd century AD. From here the Roman guards had an unimpeded view of the surrounding area. A somewhat outdated reconstruction of a Roman watchtower still stands near the original site.
