History [ edit ]

Main article: History of Trier

The first traces of human settlement in the area of the city show evidence of linear
pottery settlements dating from the early Neolithic period. Since the last pre-
Christian centuries, members of the Celtic tribe of the Treveri settled in the area of
today's Trier.[11] The city of Trier derives its name from the later Latin locative in
Trēverīs for earlier Augusta Treverorum. According to the Archbishops of Trier, in
the Gesta Treverorum, the founder of the city of the Trevians is Trebeta. German
historian Johannes Aventinus also credited Trebeta with building settlements at
Metz, Mainz, Basel, Strasbourg, Speyer and Worms.

The historical record describes the Roman


Empire subduing the Treveri in the
1st century BC and establishing Augusta
Treverorum about 16 BC.[12] The name
distinguished it from the empire's many other
cities honoring the first Roman emperor,
Augustus. The city later became the capital of
Augusta Treverorum in the 4th the province of Belgic Gaul; after the Diocletian
century Reforms, it became the capital of the prefecture
of the Gauls, overseeing much of the Western
Roman Empire. In the 4th century, Trier was
one of the largest cities in the Roman Empire
with a population around 75,000 and perhaps
as much as 100,000.[13][14][15][16] The Porta
Nigra ("Black Gate") dates from this era. A
residence of the Western Roman emperor,
Roman Trier was the birthplace of Saint
Porta Nigra
Ambrose. Sometime between 395 and 418,
probably in 407 the Roman administration
moved the staff of the Praetorian Prefecture from Trier to Arles. The city continued
to be inhabited but was not as prosperous as before. However, it remained the seat
of a governor and had state factories for the production of ballistae and armor and
woolen uniforms for the troops, clothing for the civil service, and high-quality
garments for the Court. Northern Gaul was held by the Romans along a line (līmes)
from north of Cologne to the coast at Boulogne through what is today southern
Belgium until 460. South of this line, Roman control was firm, as evidenced by the
continuing operation of the imperial arms factory at Amiens.

The Franks seized Trier from Roman


administration in 459. In 870, it became part of
Eastern Francia, which developed into the Holy
Roman Empire. Relics of Saint Matthias
brought to the city initiated widespread
pilgrimages. The bishops of the city grew
increasingly powerful and the Archbishopric of
Trier was recognized as an electorate of the Scale model of Trier around
empire, one of the most powerful states of 1800
Germany. The University of Trier was founded
in the city in 1473. In the 17th century, the
Archbishops and Prince-Electors of Trier
relocated their residence to Philippsburg Castle
in Ehrenbreitstein, near Koblenz. A session of
the Reichstag was held in Trier in 1512, during
which the demarcation of the Imperial Circles
was definitively established.

In the years from 1581 to 1593, the Trier witch
trials were held. It was one of the four largest
witch trials in Germany alongside the Fulda
witch trials, the Würzburg witch trial, and the
Bamberg witch trials, perhaps even the largest
one in European history. The persecutions
started in the diocese of Trier in 1581 and
reached the city itself in 1587, where it was to Electoral Palace
lead to the death of about 368 people, and was
as such perhaps the biggest mass execution in
Europe in peacetime. This counts only those
executed within the city itself. The exact
number of people executed in all the witch
hunts within the diocese has never been
established; a total of 1,000 has been
suggested but not confirmed.

In the 17th and 18th centuries, the French-
Habsburg rivalry brought war to Trier. Spain
and France fought over the city during the Thirty Years' War. The bishop was
imprisoned by Spain and the Holy Roman Emperor for his support for France
between 1635 and 1645. In later wars between the Empire and France, French
troops occupied the city during the Nine Years' War, the War of the Spanish
Succession, and the War of the Polish Succession. After conquering Trier again in
1794 during the French Revolutionary Wars, France annexed the city and the
electoral archbishopric was dissolved. After the Napoleonic Wars ended in 1815,
Trier passed to the Kingdom of Prussia. Karl Marx, the German philosopher and
one of the founders of Marxism, was born in the city in 1818.

As part of the Prussian Rhineland, Trier developed economically during the 19th
century. The city rose in revolt during the revolutions of 1848 in the German states,
although the rebels were forced to concede. It became part of the German Empire
in 1871.

The synagogue on Zuckerbergstrasse was looted during the November 1938


Kristallnacht and later completely destroyed in a bomb attack in 1944. Multiple
Stolperstein have been installed in Trier to commemorate those murdered and
exiled during the Shoah.[17]

In June 1940 during World War II over 60,000 British prisoners of war, captured at
Dunkirk and Northern France, were marched to Trier, which became a staging post
for British soldiers headed for German prisoner-of-war camps. Trier was heavily
bombed and bombarded in 1944. The city became part of the new state of
Rhineland-Palatinate after the war. The university, dissolved in 1797, was restarted
in the 1970s, while the Cathedral of Trier was reopened in 1974 after undergoing
substantial and long-lasting renovations. Trier officially celebrated its 2,000th
anniversary in 1984. On 1 December 2020, 5 people were killed by an allegedly
drunk driver during a vehicle-ramming attack.[18] The Ehrang/Quint district of Trier
was heavily damaged and flooded during the 16 July 2021 floods of Germany,
Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg.

Organization of city districts [ edit ]

The Trier urban area is divided into 19 city


districts. For each district there is an Ortsbeirat
(local council) of between 9 and 15 members,
as well as an Ortsvorsteher (local
representative). The local councils are charged
with hearing the important issues that affect the
district, although the final decision on any issue
rests with the city council. The local councils
nevertheless have the freedom to undertake
limited measures within the bounds of their
districts and their budgets.
