The Roman Empire conquered these areas in AD 83 and built a fortified military camp at the intersection of important roads near Cannstatt, the largest and most important in the middle reaches of the Neckar. A settlement was soon established near the camp and this place was the most important regional center for several centuries.
Brickyards were producing refined architectural ceramics there, and pottery was also developed.
In 746 in Cannstatt the so-called bloodbath, among others, was the death of the leaders of the Alemanni and Bavarians.
