In 1928, near Trichtingen in the district of Rottweil, the precious Celtic silver ring, which has been in use since the 2nd or 1st century BC, was discovered on a small but easily visible hill during sewerage works. In the ground rested. The ring, which is kept in the Württemberg State Museum in Stuttgart today, has a diameter of almost 30 cm and a weight of 6.75 kg. The individual decorative elements - the various ornaments on the ring body, the small neck rings and the bull's heads - are in the Celtic art of the 2nd / 1st century. Century BC Chr. Quite common and show the silver ring clearly as the work of a Celtic craftsman.
