Places to see in ( Trier - Germany ) Roman Bridge
The Roman Bridge in Trier ist the oldest bridge in Germany. The stone pilings of the Roman Bridge date from A.D. 144-152. The pilings of the Roman Bridge from A.D. 144-152 (the arches and roadway are from the 18th century) are deeply embedded in the bedrock underneath the river gravel.
They were built with huge stone blocks held together with iron clamps as in the Porta Nigra (the Roman clamps are invisible inside the pilings; the visible clamps are from later times). This time, the black color is genuine: the stone is mostly basalt from the Eifel mountains.
On March 2, 1945, General Patton's tanks captured the bridge so quickly that it was not blown up - the (empty) charge chambers are still visible from the up-river side of the bridge.

Roman Monuments of Trier - UNESCO World Heritage Site
The UNESCO World Heritage site of Trier, in the far west of Germany, just a stone's throw from Luxembourg, lays claim to being the oldest city in the country. It was founded as a Roman military encampment, and due to its strategic position on the Rhine it became one of the most important cities in the Empire (after only Rome, the eastern capital in Constantinople, and the Egyptian capital in Alexandria). There's a great legacy of buildings here, including bathhouses, fortifications, an amphitheatre, throne room and a bridge, though several buildings were closed due to snow and ice on the day we visited. But it was still a lot of fun!

Trier is a southwestern German city in the Moselle wine region, near the Luxembourg border. Founded by the Romans, it contains several well-preserved Roman structures like the Porta Nigra gate, the ruins of Roman baths, an amphitheater just outside the center and a stone bridge over the Moselle River. The Archaeological Museum displays Roman artifacts. Among Trier’s many Catholic churches is Trier Cathedral.
With an astounding nine Unesco World Heritage sites, Germany's oldest city shelters the country's finest ensemble of Roman monuments, among them a mighty gate, amphitheatre, elaborate thermal baths, Imperial throne room, and the country's oldest bishop's church, which retains Roman sections. Architectural treasures from later ages include Germany's oldest Gothic church, and Karl Marx' baroque birthplace. Trier's proximity to both Luxembourg and France is apparent in its cuisine and the local esprit, enlivened by some 15,000 students from its renowned university. The mostly pedestrianised city centre is filled with cafes and restaurants, many inside gorgeous Gothic or baroque buildings, while wineries are scattered throughout the surrounding vineyards.
Trier is rich in ruins from the Roman Empire (protected by UNESCO), such as the Porta Nigra, the Roman baths and Roman amphitheater. As Trier was founded by the Romans as Augusta Treverorum, it can claim the title of oldest German city. And unlike the somewhat provincial and quaint feel the town exudes today, it was actually one of the centers of power during the Imperial Crisis of the Third Century and certainly the most important Roman town of the province of Germania. Besides its ample Roman heritage, Trier is also known as the birth place of Karl Marx, a fact that the city has had difficulty grappling with during more anti-communist times but now widely markets for tourism.
Trier is known for its well-preserved Roman and medieval buildings, which include:
the Porta Nigra, the best-preserved Roman city gate north of the Alps;
the huge Constantine Basilica, a basilica in the original Roman sense, was the 67 m (219.82 ft) long throne hall of Roman Emperor Constantine; it is today used as a Protestant church; adjacent is the Electoral Palace, Trier;
the Roman Trier Amphitheater;
the 2nd century AD Roman bridge (Römerbrücke) across the Moselle, the oldest bridge north of the Alps still crossed by traffic;
ruins of three Roman baths, among them the largest Roman baths north of the Alps; including the Barbara Baths and the Trier Imperial Baths;
Trier Cathedral (German: Trierer Dom or Dom St. Peter), a Catholic church that dates back to Roman times; its Romanesque west façade with an extra apse and four towers is imposing and has been copied repeately; the Cathedral is home to the Holy Tunic, a garment said to be the robe Jesus was wearing when he died, as well as many other relics and reliquaries in the Cathedral Treasury;
the Liebfrauenkirche (German for Church of Our Lady), which is one of the most important early Gothic churches in Germany, in some ways comparable to the architectural tradition of the French Gothic cathedrals;
St. Matthias' Abbey (Abtei St. Matthias), a still-in-use monastery in whose medieval church the only apostle north of the Alps is held to be buried;
St. Gangolf's church is the city's 'own' church near the main market square (as opposed to the Cathedral, the bishop's church); largely Gothic;
Saint Paulinus' Church, one of the most important Baroque churches in Rhineland-Palatinate and designed in part by the architect Balthasar Neumann;
two old treadwheel cranes, one being the Gothic Old Crane (Alte Krahnen) or Trier Moselle Crane (Trierer Moselkrahn) from 1413, and the other the 1774 Baroque crane called the (Old) Customs Crane ((Alter) Zollkran) or Younger Moselle Crane (Jüngerer Moselkran) (see List of historical harbour cranes).

Trier GERMANY/ ATING SILIPIN ANG OLDEST TOWN NG GERMANY❤
This is a video of our family trip to the well-known town Trier. It is a city in Germany on the banks of Moselle (Mosel). Trier lies in a valley between low vine-covered hills, near the border of Luxembourg and right in the important Moselle wine region. It has a long history. Trier was founded by the celts in the late 4th century BC as Treuorum. Trier may be the oldest city in Germany. According to secured sources, the city of Trier is of Roman origin: At the feet of a 30 BC the Romans founded and after a few months abandoned a military camp on the Petrisberg, most likely in 16 BC. According to an ancient rite, the city of Augusta Treverorum (city of Augustus in the land of the Treveri). Buildings such as the Barbara Baths, the Amphitheater and the 6.4-kilometer-long city wall with the preserved until today northern city gate, the Porta Nigra, testify to the wealth and the great importance that the city gained until the end of the 2nd century. Under the reign of Constantine the Great (306-337), the city was growing with buildings such as the palace hall (today's Constantine Basilica) and the Imperial Baths built. In 326, parts of the private residential palaces of the imperial family were changed and extended into a large double basilica, the remainders of which are still recognizable to some extent in the area of the cathedral and the Liebfrauenkirche. So, there are many sights to see, such as the Porta Nigra, the best-preserved Roman city gate north of the alps, the huge Constanine Basilica in the original Roman sense, today a Protestant church, the roman Amphittheater, the 2nd century AD Roman bridge across the Moselle, oldest bridge north of alps, still crossed by traffic, ruins of the Roman baths, Trier Cathedral and many more.

Places to see in ( Trier - Germany ) Imperial Roman Baths
Places to see in ( Trier - Germany ) Imperial Roman Baths
Going to the baths was an important part of Roman life: Over 1600 years ago, the Romans built one of the grandest and most impressive baths in the world: the Imperial Baths. Today you can visit this gigantic bathing facility: go back in time to the Roman era, descend into the subterranean labyrinth and get a feel for history!
People bathed naked (not always separately), could engage in sports, sit in cold and hot baths, swim, get a massage, have the body hair removed by tweezers or wax, and be cleaned with the help of scrapers, pumice stone, or fermented urine. They could relax, gamble, do business, go to the hairdresser's, libraries, reciting rooms, or pubs.
When you enter the Imperial Baths (Kaiserthermen, fee) you will first come to the hot water bath (large enough for present-day theater and opera performances complete with stage, orchestra, and 650 seats).
The incoming cold water was heated in altogether six boiler rooms, four of which are visible in the 19m (62 ft) high ruins which later served as a part of the medieval city wall. The 40° C/104° F hot water was then conducted into the three semicircular pools for the bathers.
A hollow-floor heating system heated the pool floors as well as the rectangular central part of the vaulted hall. You can descend from here into the underground service tunnels and then continue to the cold water bath. The sports grounds are located outside the enclosed facilities.

The Lemonicks in Trier - Germany 4K Travel Channel
It was a great pleasure for us to spend some time with the Lemonicks in Trier. The Lemonicks, these are Nisha and Vasu, a charming couple from Mumbai, India. Just like us, they love to travel, to collect many beautiful memories. Nisha is a famous Indian travel blogger. In the meantime, Vasu, an avid photographer, has ended its corporate career and joined her. We met them the first time in Bangkok. When we heard that they will be in Europe the next months, we invited them to visit Ursula's hometown, Trier. We were very pleased that they found the time during their stay in Frankfurt.
Trier is the oldest town in Germany and looks back at a more than 2000-year story. The Romans have left remarkable traces in this town, especially after Constantine the Great moved his seat of government there.
We begin our tour on the Petrisberg, from where you have a wonderful panorama view of the city.
Particularly the Cathedral of Trier and Constantine Basilica, Constantine's former throne room, stand out. One also sees the Porta Nigra, the former city gate, the Trier Imperial Baths as well as the Roman amphitheater. All these buildings are on the UNESCO List of World Heritage Sites.
In southern direction is the Abby St. Matthias. It is said to be the burial place of the apostle Matthias.
After the first look, we go to the center of the city, but at the Main Market, it starts to rain. So we decide to make a tour of the churches of Trier.
We start in the Cathedral of Trier, which houses the Seamless Robe of Jesus and continue to the Church of Our Lady. As it is still raining, we got to the Constantine Basilica. The impressive interior is 27.2 m wide, 33 m high and 67 m long, with the entrance hall even 75. It is the largest still existing single room of the ancient world. Today, the Constantine Basilica serves as an evangelical church. In 2014, one provided the church with a new organ with 82 registers, over 6,000 pipes.

Es war uns eine große Freude, den Tag mit den Lemonicks in Trier zu verbringen.
Die Lemonicks, das sind Nisha und Vasu, ein reizendes indisches Paar aus Mumbai. Genau wie wir, lieben sie es zu reisen, um viele schöne Erinnerungen zu sammeln. Nisha ist eine berühmte indische Reise-Bloggerin. Inzwischen hat Vasu, ein begeisterter Fotograf, seine Firmenkarriere beendet und sich ihr angeschlossen. Wir trafen sie das erste Mal in Bangkok.
Als wir hörten, dass sie die nächsten Monate in Europa sein werden, haben wir sie eingeladen, ihnen Ursulas Heimatstadt Trier zu zeigen. Wir freuten uns sehr, dass sie während ihres Aufenthaltes in Frankfurt die Zeit dazu fanden.
Trier ist Deutschlands älteste Stadt und blickt auf eine mehr als 2000-jährige Geschichte zurück. Speziell die Römer haben sehenswerte Spuren in dieser Stadt hinterlassen, nachdem Konstantin der Große Trier zeitweise zu seinem Regierungssitz erkoren hatte.
Unseren Rundgang beginnen wir auf dem Petrisberg, von wo aus man einen herrlichen Panoramablick über die Stadt hat.
Besonders der Trierer Dom und die Konstantinbasilika, Konstantins ehemaliger Thronsaal, stechen hervor. Man sieht von hier aus aber auch die Porta Nigra, das einstige Stadttor, die Kaiserthermen und das römische Amphitheater. Alle diese Bauwerke zählen zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe.
In südlicher Richtung ist die Basilika St. Matthias zu erkennen. Hier soll angeblich der Apostel Matthias beerdigt sein.
Nachdem wir einen ersten Überblick gegeben haben, begeben wir uns in das Zentrum der Stadt, doch am Marktplatz ereilt uns ein Regenschauer, sodass wir beschließen den Rundgang in das Innere der Kirchen Triers zu verlegen.
Wir beginnen im Trierer Dom, der den „heiligen Rock“ beherbergt und gehen weiter in die Liebfrauenkirche. Da es noch immer leicht regnet, schließen wir die Konstantinbasilika gleich an. Der beeindruckende Innenraum ist 27,2 m breit, 33 m hoch und 67 m lang, mit der Eingangshalle sogar 75. Es ist der größte noch existierende Einzelraum der Antike. Heute dient die Konstantinbasilika als evangelisch Kirche dient. 2014 wurde sie mit einer zweiten neuen Orgel mit 82 Registern (mehr als 6000 Pfeifen) ausgestattet.
