Trier, --Germany's oldest city
Trier, Germany
Trier is a historic city in west central Germany, just six miles from the Luxembourg border and 120 miles SW of Frankfurt.
Trier is Germany's oldest city. Legend has it that in 2000 BC the Assyrians established a colony here. The Roman colony of Augusta Treverorum (Trier) was founded by Augustus in 16 BC. Trier became a favored residence of several Roman emperors, including Constantine the Great, the first Christian emperor. The cathedral Constantine built in Trier in 326 AD is Germany's oldest. After destruction by Germanic tribes in the 5th century, the great city of Trier became a small town.
Trier's market square (Hauptmarkt) is one of the nicest in Germany, filled with fruit stands, flowers, painted facades, and fountains. Catholic pilgrims still come to Trier in large numbers to honor the relic of the Holy Robe at the Dom St. Peter and the tomb of St. Matthias in the Benedictine church named for him.

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).

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.

Located on the banks of the Mosel River, Trier is the oldest city in Germany, founded around the year 16 BCE by the Romans. A medieval inscription from the 12th century, however, claims that it is much older, dating back to 1,300 years before Rome.

Trier City Tour, Stadtrundfahrt Trier, Trèves , Treviri, Tréier,
Trier (französisch Trèves, luxemburgisch Tréier) ist als kreisfreie Stadt im Westen des Landes Rheinland-Pfalz dessen viertgrößte Stadt hinter Mainz, Ludwigshafen am Rhein und Koblenz.
Trier ist Sitz einer Universität, einer Hochschule, der Verwaltung des Landkreises Trier-Saarburg, der Verwaltung der Verbandsgemeinde Trier-Land, der Aufsichts- und Dienstleistungsdirektion (ADD, bis 1999 Bezirksregierung Trier), mehrerer Dienststellen des Landesuntersuchungsamtes (LUA) und einer römisch-katholischen Diözese (Bistum Trier, das älteste nördlich der Alpen).
Die Stadt wurde vor mehr als 2000 Jahren unter dem Namen Augusta Treverorum (ab der zweiten Hälfte des 3. Jahrhunderts Treveris) gegründet und beansprucht den Titel der ältesten Stadt Deutschlands für sich. Trier beruft sich hierbei auf die längste Geschichte als bereits von den Römern anerkannte Stadt, im Gegensatz zu einer Siedlung oder einem Heerlager.
Die Römischen Baudenkmäler in Trier, bestehend aus Amphitheater, Barbarathermen, Kaiserthermen, Konstantinbasilika, Porta Nigra, Römerbrücke, Igeler Säule, Dom sowie die Liebfrauenkirche zählen seit 1986 zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe.
Trier (German pronunciation: [ˈtʀiːɐ̯] ( listen); French: Trèves, IPA: [tʁɛv]; Luxembourgish: Tréier; Italian: Treviri; Latin: Augusta Treverorum; the Latin adjective associated with the city is Treverensis), historically called Treves in English, is a city in Germany on the banks of the Moselle. It may be the oldest city in Germany, founded in or before 16 BC (contested with Worms and Cologne).[2]
Trier lies in a valley between low vine-covered hills of ruddy sandstone in the west of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, near the border with Luxembourg and within the important Mosel wine region.
The city is the oldest seat of a Christian bishop north of the Alps. In the Middle Ages, the Archbishop of Trier was an important prince of the church, as the Archbishopric of Trier controlled land from the French border to the Rhine. The Archbishop also had great significance as one of the seven electors of the Holy Roman Empire.
With an approximate population of 105,000 Trier is ranked fourth among the state's largest cities; after Mainz, Ludwigshafen, and Koblenz.[3] The nearest large cities in Germany are Saarbrücken, some 80 kilometres (50 miles) southeast, and Koblenz, about 100 km (62 mi) northeast. The closest city to Trier is the capital of Luxembourg, some 50 km (31 mi) to the southwest.
Trier is home to the University of Trier, the administration of the Trier-Saarburg district and the seat of the ADD (Aufsichts- und Dienstleistungsdirektion), which until 1999 was the borough authority of Trier, and the Academy of European Law (ERA). It is one of the five central places of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Along with Luxembourg, Metz and Saarbrücken, fellow constituent members of the QuattroPole union of cities, it also forms a central place of the greater region encompassing Saar-Lor-Lux (Saarland, Lorraine and Luxembourg), Rhineland-Palatinate, and Wallonia.
Trèves (en italien Treviri, en allemand Trier, en luxembourgeois Tréier) est une ville et un arrondissement d'Allemagne, dans le Land de Rhénanie-Palatinat. La ville est située sur la Moselle. En 2008, la ville comptait 104 640 habitants.
