The villa rustica near Holheim is a smaller Roman estate that was excavated between 1975 and 1981. It is located within sight of the Ofnethöhlen, which were already inhabited in the Middle Paleolithic, in Holheim, a district of Nördlingen in the Donau-Ries district of Bavaria. The foundations of the site were gradually uncovered, preserved, and made accessible to the public.
The estate was built in the Maienbachtal near the southwestern foot of a nearly two-kilometer-long ridge of limestone. This rock massif lies at the crater rim of the Nördlinger Ries and featured a fortification built around 400 BC on its high plateau, the flattened ramparts of which have been largely destroyed by modern quarries. The Ries was regarded in antiquity as the granary of the Roman province of Raetia, which can also be evidenced by the number of over 70 documented villae rusticae in this region.
