Roman canal

On September 12, 2019, the Heilig-Geist-Gymnasium received a section of an ancient Roman water conduit. This pipe, which is almost two millennia old,[1] was found during excavation work near Cologne[2] and was then restored by trainees from the Chamber of Crafts and divided into 22 parts.[3]

The section of the former water conduit is now located in the schoolyard of the Gymnasium. The entire project was subsidized by the Landschaftsverband Rheinland.[4]

The canal is supervised by the school's archaeology AG.[5]
