Mertingen is a municipality in the district of Donau-Ries in Bavaria in Germany. History: Here near the location of "Burghoefe" the important roman road " Via Claudia Augusta " built during the 1st century AD linking Italy with the Danube river had its northern end. It branched into a roman military road following the Danube river from its origine in the West to Regensburg in the East.
