The central square of Trier city center and still the location of the weekly market with many stands. From spring to autumn as well as the pedestrian zone to Porta Nigra, it is mostly hopelessly overcrowded. If you want to enjoy the history here in peace, it is best to come on Sundays in winter (or with a mask during the current Corona lockdown).

At komoot, there is already a large selection of "hikes" in Trier, which also brings you close to many of the ancient sights.

Two thirds of the market redevelopment with houses from the Renaissance, Baroque, Classicism and Late Historicism periods has been preserved. Today there are numerous large and representative buildings, including the Hauptwache and the former cathedral hotel in the neo-renaissance style of Germany. There is also the Steipe, a town house built around 1430 and (after being completely destroyed in World War II) rebuilt in the 20th century with the help of "creative monument preservation" (Dehio) and today the house of the city council and the red house with the slogan about the legendary foundation Triers through Trebeta. The Church of St. Gangolf is only accessible from the market through a baroque gate and is otherwise completely renovated.

From the main market you can step through the Judenpforte into the Judengasse and get into the former Jewish quarter of the city.

The oldest German city of Roman origin, steeped in history. It is very interesting and should be visited once.

In 958 Trier received market rights. The main market became the center of medieval Trier with the Steipe, the festival hall of the city council with direct access to the city church of St. Gangolf (to be reached through the small baroque gate on the south side - the church itself is completely surrounded by houses and stalls), the official city hall Ellen Maß (reconstruction) on the Steipe, pillory (reconstructed offset in the southern corner of the market), access to the cathedral, access to the Jewish quarter and access to a total of six streets.
