Oldest City in Germany
620 BCE – 450 BCE
A fortified early Celtic hilltop town above the upper Danube in southwestern Germany, often called the oldest city north of the Alps. Around 600 BCE its rulers raised a Mediterranean-style mudbrick wall found nowhere else north of the Alps, traded for Greek wine and pottery, and buried their dead with gold — and it may be the "Pyrene" named by the Greek historian Herodotus.
