The Oppidum of Manching (German: Oppidum von Manching) was a large Celtic proto-urban or city-like settlement at modern-day Manching, near Ingolstadt, in Bavaria, Germany. The Iron Age town (or oppidum ) was founded in the 3rd century BC and existed until c. 50-30 BC.
It is sometimes referred to in English as a timber-framed wall. The construction method is also known as "Kelheim-style", named after the extensive ramparts at the oppidum of Kelheim . At the oppidum of Manching , an earlier murus gallicus rampart was rebuilt in Pfostenschlitzmauer style.
By contrast to Manching, only a fraction of the walled area likely was occupied by buildings. The oppidum's location at the two rivers and between Manching, Berching, and other settlements farther downstream on the Danube, together with the ample supply of wood and iron, likely were the basis for its existence.
