Christmas Market Trier has been elected as Germany´s most beautiful market. Today it is closing. I´m longing for November 2020 when it is reopened.
The Porta Nigra (Latin for black gate) is a large Roman city gate in Trier, Germany. It is today the largest Roman city gate north of the Alps [Wikipedia] The gate survived in the medieval times, when many Roman structures were destroyed for building materials, by being converted into a church.
In the middle of the Trier vineyards you can discover this unusual building called Thiels-Burg. It was built in 1910 by the Prussian director Hugo Thiel as a monument to to promote viticulture.
A lot is different in 2022. The Trier Christmas market is smaller than in previous years and the houses on the main market are just as little illuminated as the newly renovated Gangolfkirche. The war in Europe leaves its mark with the energy crisis. But we can still celebrate and try to suppress what is happening.
Trier is a city on the banks of the Moselle in Germany. It lies in a valley between low vine-covered hills of red sandstone in the west of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, near the border with Luxembourg and within the important Moselle wine region.
The Basilica of Constantine (German: Konstantinbasilika) at Trier, Germany is a Roman palace basilica that was commissioned by the emperor Constantine I (AD 306–337) at the beginning of the 4th century.

It took me a week to get to the Dolomites because I wanted to see some places that have nice tourist attractions. Trier I wanted to see because of the Porta Negra, but these old churches standing next to each other were even better.
The Liebfrauenkirche (German for Church of Our Lady) in Trier, is the earliest Gothic church in Germany and falls into the architectural tradition of the French Gothic cathedrals. It is located next to the Trier Dom and is designated as UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Der Trierer Dom St. Peter ist nicht nur die älteste Kirche Deutschlands, sondern auch das älteste Bauwerk Deutschlands, das in seiner 1700-jährigen Geschichte ununterbrochen seinem ursprünglichen Zweck als Bischofskirche diente und bis heute dient. Von seinem ältesten Baukern, dem "Quadratbau" aus dem 4. Jahrhundert, bis hin zur Gegenwart des 21. Jahrhunderts können alle Phasen der Bau-, Kunst- und Glaubensgeschichte Europas zurückverfolgt werden. Wegen seiner herausragenden Bedeutung für die Menschheit wurde der Dom zusammen mit der Liebfrauenkirche 1986 in die Liste des Weltkulturerbes aufgenommen.

And if you like the shot you'll probably enjoy our little christmas short movie:
Trier is a very walkable town, with most of its key sights located within easy walking distance of the old city center. But there is also a special tourist mini-train (called the Römer Express) that takes visitors on a 35-minute tour of Trier’s Altstadt (old town).
The city (pop. 103,000) is easily reached by rail or auto (via either the A64 or A602 autobahn). Trier caters to tourists by offering a good selection of hotels and restaurants. Located only about six miles (10 km) from the German-Luxembourg border, Trier is also a good place from which to take a day-trip to Luxembourg City.
Trier is a lovely old town in the Mosel valley with a lot of history. For a time, it has been the capital of Western Roman Empire, and it still shows in numerous monuments from Roman times. There is also plenty of Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque architecture. And, architecture aside, it is just a very pleasant place to relax and a convenient base to explore the beautiful area around it.
Going ever deeper into my archives in search for images that still speak to me. This is the very end of my film days. I bought my first digital camera a few months later.
