Starting 450 BC Celtic defense and living facilities have been built. Many vestiges of the Romans can be found in Walheim: There are remnants of two Roman castra and a vast civil settlement. During the period of 85 to 120 AC the area of Walheim was an important emporium. As from 233 AC the Alamanni began to settle the territory and in 496 AC the region became Franconian.
