    The columns are very impressive

      The giant column is 9.33 m long and weighs 27.5 t. It was probably created at the beginning of the 4th century and is therefore almost 2,000 years old. The granite from the Felsenmeer was used in the construction of the cathedral in Trier. Four mighty granite columns, each 12 m high and weighing 65 tons, once supported the building. Two fragments of a column have been lying next to the cathedral portal as the “Trier Domstein” since 1623. The pillar from the Felsenmeer never found its way to Trier.
