Robenhausen

The wetland is a nature reserve of national importance and is situated between Seegräben, Kempten and Irgenhausen covering an area of about 2 square kilometres (1 sq mi).

In 1873 a shooting range was established in Robenhausen; the building has been used as a boathouse for decades, but the contaminants in the soil exceeded the limit values and a "significant risk" for groundwater, thus in July 2013 a 300 metres (984 ft) and 400 metres (1,312 ft) area had to be decontaminated with a cost totaling to about 255,000 Swiss Francs.

On occasion of several excavations to the 1900s, Messikommer reported the discovery of numerous individual finds, and first, he also interpreted two different layers a settlement that was rebuilt, and in fact he was right.

[2][3] Jakob Messikommer's achievements were honored with a memorial stone and the so-called Messikomer Eich, an oak in the Robenhausen reed.

[4] In the Swiss inventory of cultural property of national significance Robenhausen is listed as Class A object.
