Porta Nigra

Highlight • Historical Site

The Porta Nigra is the best-preserved Roman city gate north of the Alps – an unparalleled connection between the ancient past and today's modern city. The old city gate dates back to 170 AD, when the Romans liked to build public buildings out of large blocks. Since 1986, the Porta Nigra has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage and is protected cultural property under the Hague Convention.

Half-Timbered Houses at Simeonstraße, Trier

Highlight • Historical Site

Group of three half-timbered houses built next to each other around 1600 at the junction of the main market and Simeonstraße (the sculpted year 1605 on facade no. 22 and the painted construction date 1607 on facade no. 23 are not original. The houses are located on the eastern border of the medieval , existing Jewish quarter until 1418. The two northern ones are built over the so-called Small Jewish Gate (1406: cleynen Jews porten), which can be proven to have existed since the second third of the 13th century.

Petrus Fountain, Main Market Square, Trier

Highlight • Monument

At the top of the fountain stands the city's patron saint, Peter, who gave the fountain its name.
The four cardinal virtues are grouped over a hexagonal basin, namely Justitia - justice, with sword and scales, Fortitudo - strength, with a broken column, Temperantia - moderation, with wine and water, and Sapientia - wisdom, with mirror and Line.

Handwerkerbrunnen (Craftsmen's Fountain), Trier

Highlight • Monument

Incredibly many details of the various crafts are distributed here on eight oak trunks. It is almost a challenge to see all 36 representations correctly.

Fountain at Kornmarkt

Highlight • Monument

The Sankt Georgsbrunnen (in short: Georgsbrunnen) is a fountain in the Mitte/Gartenfeld district of Trier. It is considered one of the most beautiful rococo fountains in Germany.

It is located on the Kornmarkt in the old town. The Sankt Georgsbrunnen was built in the years 1750 to 1751 according to the plans of the court architect Johannes Seiz, the builder of the Electoral Palace, in honor of the sovereign Elector Franz Georg von Schönborn with depictions of the seasons and St. George. Like the Petrusbrunnen on the main market, it was fed by the Heiligkreuzer Daufborn, known today as the Herrenbrünnchen, until the 19th century. The top of the fountain is about eleven meters high. The numerous, now empty cartouches at the fountain probably originally bore the painted coat of arms of the Trier councillors. In order to avoid contamination of the water, the fountain was surrounded by an iron grating, which was removed in the early 20th century.

When it was erected, the fountain stood further east on the square, in front of the old town hall, which was destroyed in World War II. Like this, the fountain was also badly damaged by air raids, so that the restoration after the war was very expensive and large parts of the fountain had to be reconstructed. On this occasion, the fountain was moved to its current location. It was last restored as part of the renovation of the Kornmarkt in 2003, and a move back to the original location was also considered. For financial reasons and because the buildings around the old site had been modernized after the Second World War, which did not necessarily improve the effect of the fountain, the plan was ultimately abandoned.

Red House (Trier)

Highlight • Historical Site

Directly to the left of the Red House there is a glockenspiel on the house facade. Every hour on the hour, its 14 bells play the melody of a piece of music that changes according to the season. You can choose, for example, the "Mosellied" by the Trier cathedral organist Georg Schmitt, the "Moselgruß" by the Trier composer Karl Werding.

Trier Main Market

Highlight • Historical Site

Noteworthy, well-preserved house facades of different architectural styles with a market cross and St. Peter's fountain on the spacious square. On market days, there is a busy hustle and bustle here in the pleasantly traffic-calmed zone.
