Trier is Germany's oldest city — Augusta Treverorum, founded by the Romans in approximately 16 BCE, which grew to become the largest city in the Roman Empire north of the Alps and the western imperial capital in the 3rd and 4th centuries CE. The city's Roman monuments are extraordinary in their scale and preservation — the Porta Nigra (Black Gate), a 2nd-century Roman city gate built without mortar from massive sandstone blocks, is the best-preserved Roman gate north of the Alps and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Imperial Baths (Kaiserthermen), the Amphitheatre, the Barbara Baths, the Roman Bridge (still in use after 1,800 years) and the Basilica of Constantine together form the most impressive concentration of Roman architecture in Germany.
Trier's later history is equally layered — an important early Christian city (the birthplace of Martin of Tours), a powerful ecclesiastical centre through the medieval period, and the birthplace of Karl Marx (1818), whose family home is now a museum. The city's medieval and Baroque heritage — the Gothic Cathedral (Dom, partially incorporating Roman walls), the Liebfrauenkirche (one of the earliest Gothic churches in Germany), and the Baroque Kurfürstliches Palais — completes an urban ensemble of remarkable historical depth. Trier sits at the beginning of the Moselle wine valley, and the surrounding vineyards producing the Rieslings of the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region are some of the most celebrated in the world.
Roman UNESCO Heritage: Trier's Roman monuments — the Porta Nigra, Amphitheatre, Imperial Baths, Barbara Baths and the Roman Bridge — are jointly inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List and represent the most important and best-preserved Roman urban remains in Germany. The Rheinisches Landesmuseum Trier houses one of the finest Roman artefact collections in Europe, including the famous Trier gold hoard.
Karl Marx Heritage: Trier is the birthplace of Karl Marx (1818) — the philosopher whose ideas shaped 20th-century world history. The Karl Marx Haus, on the Brückenstrasse, houses a comprehensive museum on Marx's life, thought and global impact, recently renovated for the 2018 bicentenary. Admission includes access to the adjacent museum on Marxist movements worldwide.
