Zusammenfassung: The floor mosaic discussed in the present Master-thesis had been discovered in Stühlingen (Baden-Württemberg) in July 1848. The mosaic is of Roman origin and could be dated into the second century AD. In its appearance it is moderate, but the historical context is remarkable because there are only a few surviving examples of Roman ancient mosaics in Baden-Württemberg, and the present was one of the first to be discovered. Most of this mosaic was lost or destroyed during the Second World War. What re-mained are five pieces of the border area of the floor mosaic. This part of the mosaic was carried out in black and white technique. This paper consists of the research of the historical background, description, analysis of damage and the concept of restoration treatment relating to one of those five fragments. This fragment has also been restored in the course of this Master-thesis as a paradigm for all other preserved fragments. In the 19th century at least two minor conservation campaigns had been carried out. The mortar used in these restorations had to be removed to allow for a better fitting of the fragments. In doing so, the mosaic could then be conserved with reversible materials. In its new settings, it is now presentable in an exhibition.
