Photographer’s Note

Trier (French: Trèves; Luxembourgish: Tréier; Latin: Augusta Treverorum) is a city in Germany on the banks of the Moselle River. It is the oldest city in Germany, founded in or before 16 BC. It is also one of the few cities in Europe that had been capitals of the Roman Empire.
Trier is the oldest seat of a Christian bishop north of the Alps. In the Middle Ages, the Archbishop of Trier was an important ecclesiastical prince, as the Archbishopric of Trier controlled land from the French border to the Rhine. He was also one of the seven electors of the Holy Roman Empire. /wiki/

Beside the beautiful architecture it is interesting the column topped by a cross in the foreground, the original of which (now saved in museum) was erected in 958 by Archbishop Henry I., a cousin of Emperor Otto the Great.

Hallo László!
Der Herr Erzbischof hat sogar eine Raubritterburg hier im Siegerland zerstören lassen - weit rechtsrheinisch. Tja, da an der Säule habe ich auch schon gesessen ... und im Februar werde ich wieder dort sein. Schön, wie Du die herrlichen Fassaden hier in Szene gesetzt hast. Das Marktleben ist hier eine sehr schöne "Zugabe" zur Architektur.
Grüße aus dem kalten Siegerland - und Ski-heil!
Frank

Sehr schöner Blick auf die Fachwerkhäuser der Stadt. Der zwiebelförmige Erker ist wunderschön, ich wollte mal so eine Wohnung haben - aber so ewtas ist unbezahlbar.
Viele Grüße,
Achim

Ciao Laszlo,
stai facendo uno stupendo reportage sull'architettura tedesca, ed hai ragione perchè, come ti ho già detto, è l'esempio più interessante di bellezza e funzionalità unite in un'unico meraviglioso stile. L'accurata scelta del POV e l'eccellente qualità tecnica dei tuoi lavori ci permettono di ammirare piacevolmente questo bellissimo stile. Grazie!
Ciao
Paolo
