Netizens travel Europe, Trier tour
The first city to enter western Germany is Trier, 30 km from Luxembourg.
Trier is the oldest city in Germany, dating back more than 2,000 years. The Western Roman Empire briefly used this place as its capital, and it was the highlight of Trier's construction and the construction of Trier, making Trier the city with the most ancient Roman ruins in Germany, which are now listed as World Heritage Sites. Most of these ruins are located in the city center within walking distance.
Start with the Black Gate, the symbol of Trier's city. The Black Gate, also known as the Nigra Gate, is the best-preserved ancient Roman city gate north of the Alps. The gate is made of sandstone boulders, which has weathered and turned black over time, so it is called the black gate. Some of these stones weighed tens of tons, and at that time there was no cement, so they were connected by iron chains.
The city gate looks square from the city, and the tower is square. And from outside the city, the tower is cylindrical, which looks more majestic and has a greater deterrent to the enemy. Outside the city there is a model of the city gate cast on a cubic iron pedestal. There is an identical iron seat in the city, but on it is an iron map of the ancient Roman city, from which you can see the glory of Trier in the ancient Roman period.
Walking along the main street corresponding to the Black Gate, you will soon come to the Central Market Market in the old town. In Germany's old town, the main walls of the houses are contrasted strongly with the eaves and house characters, and they look colorful, like a picture of fine art, which is pleasing to the eye.
There is a fountain sculpture called the Fountain of Petros, topped by St. Peter, holding the golden key to heaven, the patron saint of Trier, and the four statues at the base represent the four virtues of righteous force temperance and wisdom.
Also in this square is St. Peter's Episcopal Church, the oldest episcopal church in Germany, a church complex consisting of four churches and many outbuildings. Because the church was maintained and renovated by bishops of different periods, the church shows architectural styles from different eras.
Immediately adjacent to St. Peter's Church is the Church of Our Lady of Trier, the earliest Gothic building in Germany, and the two churches are connected by a cross-shaped cloister. Adhering to the characteristics of Gothic architecture, the Frauenkirche has beautiful colored windows, lifelike figure sculptures at the doorway, exquisite frescoes in the church, and a magnificent dome, which is a model of Gothic style.
The Kingdom of Germany was preceded by the Holy Roman Empire, and the Emperor of the Empire once adopted a system of electors, and those eligible to vote were called electors. At that time, there were seven electors, all of whom were archbishops and princely dukes and counts, among which the archbishop of Trier was one of the electors, that is, he held the votes that decided the ups and downs of the emperor, and Trier's influence at that time can be seen.
A short distance south of the market is the ruins of the ancient Roman baths, which were used as bomb shelters during World War II and later used as underground parking, and by chance came to be found to be ruins. There are two hot baths and one cold bath, as well as heating systems and sewers, which shows that the ancient Romans had quite high requirements for their own hygiene.
Not far east of the bathhouse site is the Rhine Landesmuseum, which is said to contain thousands of exhibits that provide a comprehensive view of Trier's ancient history. Not far from the museum is the famous Emperor Hot Spring Bath. The Emperor's Thermal Baths and Barbara Baths were once one of the largest baths in the Roman Empire, and Barbara Baths are somewhat far away and can only be reached by car.
Trier also has a modern site that Chinese of great concern, the Marx House. Marx was born in Trier, a gray, three-story building that was looted during the Nazi regime and reopened as a memorial after World War II. The memorial hall contains a large number of relics of Marx's life, the marriage certificate of Marx and Yanni, the testimony of friendship with Engels, and a large number of manuscripts and letters.
The traffic lights at the intersection of Marx's house have obvious road signs to guide the direction of the former residence. This traffic light also uses a cartoon image of Marx, the green light is Marx holding a book and walking in, prompting pedestrians to cross the road, and the red light is the bearded Marx with his arms outstretched, which means to stop passers-by from running the red light.
On May 5, 2018, the 200th anniversary of Marx's birth, the giant statue of Marx given to Trier by the Chinese government was unveiled and erected in a square near the Black Gate. Wearing a trench coat, Marx held Capital in one hand and put the other hand on his chest, looking ahead, and was marching forward, his eyes shining.
