Trier is known as Germany’s oldest city. It was founded by Celts in the 4th century BC. on the banks of the Moselle, and later it was conquered by the Romans, who named it Augusta Treverorum. Trier was also an important city in the later German-Roman Empire, and today there are several monuments and buildings in the city that have been included in UNESCO’s World Heritage List.
Trier is one of the large cities in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, and there are many attractions in the cozy city center. From the Roman era you can see the impressive gate building Porta Nigra, probably the most famous of its time. The construction of the large city gate started around the year 170, and over time a church was built here. Napoleon returned the Porta Nigra to a Roman construction, and it is the largest Roman city gate north of the Alps.
There are also other Roman buildings in Trier. You can see, for example, the Aula Palatina, which was built in the early 300s as an assembly room. Today, the Aula Palatina is used as the Church of Constantine. You can also see the Trier Amphitheater and the ruins of several Roman baths in the city, where the old Römerbrücke still spans the Moselle. The bridge was built in the 100s and is the oldest bridge in Germany.
Trier is also known for its churches. Trier’s cathedral was originally built in the 200s, making it the country’s oldest church. The current Romanesque church was completed in the 13th century. Like the cathedral, the Liebfrauenkirche is on UNESCO’s world heritage list, and it is also worth seeing, just like the long-term residence of the archbishops, the Electoral Palace. There are also interesting museums in Trier like the Domschatzkammer at the cathedral and Karl-Marx-Haus, located in Marx’s birthplace.
Luxembourg is the capital of the country of the same name. At the strategically important site where Roman trade routes intersected, fortifications have been built ever since the city’s founding on the rocky promontories on the Alzette River.
Raised across the river are the compact city centers with atmospheric plazas, churches, museums and many places of magnificent views of the river valley to some of the city’s newer neighborhoods. This is where you will find, among others, the Luxembourg Grand Duke’s Palace, the city’s cathedral and several atmospheric plazas with Place d’Armes at the forefront.
Saarbrücken is the capital of the state of Saarland, and the city’s name means the bridges over the river Saar. Saarbrücken dates back more than a thousand years, and for over 400 years the counts of Nassau-Saarbrücken ruled the city until 1793, when French revolutionary troops captured the city. In 1815, Saarbrücken became part of a Prussian province, and Saarland finally became part of Germany on January 1, 1957.
There are several things to see in Saarbrücken, where you can make some nice walks in the city center. Here is the Alte Brücke, which is the oldest of the many bridges over the Saar. The Alte Brücke was built 1546-1549 and it connects the old St. Johann in the east with the baroque castle Schloss Saarbrücken, the city’s old town hall and the Historisches Museum Saar on the west bank. Historisches Museum Saar depicts Saarland’s recent history through interesting exhibitions.
