Zurlauben Riverbank

Highlight • Settlement

One of the old districts of Trier with some nice houses and a promenade. Today there is one restaurant after the other. The view of the other side of the Moselle is beautiful and you sit on the terraces more quietly than the street near you might assume.

Moselle

Highlight • River

The Moselle is the lifeline of Trier and has shaped the cityscape and the region's economy for over 2,000 years. As the second-longest tributary of the Rhine, it flows for 544 kilometers through France, Luxembourg, and Germany. In Trier, the river separates the foothills of the Eifel and Hunsrück and, with its fertile surroundings, forms the center of Germany's oldest wine region. Historically, the Moselle was crucial for Trier's rise to "Second Rome" as it served as an important trade route for troops, goods, and wine.

Bronze model of the Roman Bridge

Highlight • Monument

The Römerbrücke in Trier is the oldest bridge in Germany and a masterpiece of Roman engineering. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1986 and remains one of the city's most important traffic arteries today, underscoring its enormous stability.
Here are the key details:
Ancient foundation: The current stone piers date from the mid-2nd century AD (approx. 144–152 AD). Previously, two wooden predecessor bridges already existed in the same location from the years 17 BC and 71 AD.
Construction: The bridge piers were anchored in the riverbed using so-called pile grids. Oak piles were driven deep into the ground, upon which the massive stone blocks (made of basalt and bluestone) were placed. In antiquity, these piers supported a wooden roadway structure.
Change in the Middle Ages: In the 12th and 14th centuries, the wooden superstructures were replaced by stone arches. Of the original nine piers, five of Roman origin are still preserved today.
War and survival: Unlike many other bridges, the Römerbrücke survived World War II almost unscathed, as the demolition charges of the retreating Wehrmacht were not detonated.
Symbolic power: It connects Trier's city center with the West district and is a living monument used daily by thousands of cars and pedestrians.
