Cellar of the amphitheater

Highlight • Historical Site

Several panels with 3D visualizations show the amphitheater as a reconstruction! With interesting explanations!
In the basement you can empathize with the gladiators ... tapes, puddles of water, beams, dark ... but you walk cleanly over a wooden walkway :-)

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

The main market of Trier is the central and one of the largest squares in the city.

It is located in the historic city center directly in front of the cathedral city in today's Mitte/Gartenfeld district. The most important urban commercial streets come together here. In 958, Archbishop Henry I equipped the main market with the market cross as a symbol of sovereignty. The main market was a place for selling goods and trading in the medieval city.

Church of Our Lady

Highlight • Religious Site

The Liebfrauen Basilica in Trier is the oldest Gothic church in Germany and the parish church of the Liebfrauen parish. Built in the high Gothic style by French architects, it is hard to beat in terms of filigree beauty and Gothic elegance. The floor plan has the shape of a Greek rose. Closed in January 2008, the church was reopened in September 2011 after extensive interior renovation under the motto "Let the rose bloom again".

Imperial Baths, Trier

Highlight • Historical Site

opening hours
Tuesday - Sunday: 10am - 6pm

The Kaiserthermen were planned as an imperial gift of a bathing complex to the people of Trier. After a halt to construction in the 3rd century, construction work on the Imperial Baths resumed in the 4th century AD. It was now planned to be used as barracks, possibly for the Imperial Mounted Guard. In the later centuries, the imperial thermal baths were converted and used as a castle, city wall and monastery. Excavation work on the remains of the monument began in the 19th century. In 1984 some windows in the apse were reconstructed. To this day, the Kaiserthermen are part of the city center of Trier. The proximity to the palace auditorium shows once again the huge dimensions of the palace district at that time.

Porta Nigra

Highlight • Historical Site

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

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.

I had originally planned a nice walk in Trier for today, but the doctor's visit the day before yesterday ruined all my plans. Because I have severe, acute Achilles tendonitis, I'm only allowed to hike 4-5 kilometers a day for the next 6-8 weeks 😥
But I'm not going to let myself get discouraged so easily, and voilà:
A short …

Our next stop was Trier. Since the weather was moderate, we first took a ride on the little train through Trier. Good explanations and the dog was allowed to ride for free.
Then we looked at the beautiful old town center and the cathedral.
