Trier a love story: come on a walk with me

Let me take you on a walk through my home-town Trier today.

I am sure that if you follow this route on Easter Sunday or Monday it will be even lovelier since nature will be greener and the sun will shine on you.

Let us start with what I call the “public” city.

The public city

The “Porta Nigra”, English the Black Gate, is the landmark of Trier.

“Dreikoenigshaus”, please notice the door on the first floor

The “Steipe” and the red House, where the guilds used to congregate

The fountain of St Peter, the city patron

The market cross

The main market square

The cathedral or “Dom”

The “Domstein”, a column with a folk story attached to it

The Roman basilica of Emperor Constantine

Here I will end the public walk through the city and take you to some more “private” places, places I am attached to.

My private Trier

The “Maerklin-shop-Theisen” in Metzelstrasse, where we spent zillions of hours looking at the various miniature toys

Chinese restaurant, one of many catering to the needs of the more than 30,000 tourists from China visiting the birthplace of Karl Marx

Renovated patrician house in Nagelstrasse, formerly owned by friends of ours, the Fey family, where we spent many hours as little kids

My old watering whole: “Die Glocke”, a rather traditional tavern which attracted the young when I was young

Of course there is much more to see than that above. I could have uploaded many more pictures of my beautiful home town. Why don’t you come and visit?

This is actually a must-do for any Riesling lover. There are so many wine bars, and cellar doors to explore in Trier that you might need some time.

In the meantime please explore the virtual map which I like quite a bit.

    I just visited our hometown in March/April and saw all the places you show in your blog again. It is such a beautiful place. But I think I heard that the restaurant ‘Die Glocke’ closed recently. I remember this place also very well. Loving your blog. Greetings to Bangkok. Doris

    I drop a leave a response whenever I appreciate a article on a website or if I have something to add to the conversation.

    It is a result of the fire communicated in the article I
    looked at. And after this article Trier a love story: come on a walk with me | The Man from Mosel River.

    I was excited enough to leave a thought 😛 I actually do have some questions for you if you
    tend not to mind. Could it be just me or do some
    of the responses look like they are left by brain dead people?
    😛 And, if you are posting at additional places, I would like to follow you.
    Could you list every one of all your communal
    sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or
    linkedin profile?
