Andreas Büttner, head of the department for the preservation of archaeological monuments at the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments, stands on the archaeological structure made of wood and stone from the 4th century BC. It was discovered during civil engineering work on the rainwater overflow basin at the Willigis Bridge. The structure close to the banks of the Main, with its 2,400-year-old timbers and a dry stone wall, is now to be professionally conserved.
