The Böhmerstraße is a street in Trier in the district center . It runs from Nikolaus-Koch-Platz to Irminenfreihof in close proximity to the banks of the Moselle. It is one of the few important business streets in the west of the old town of Trier.

history

A settlement "Beheim" was first documented in 1115. However, the origin of the name “Beheim” has not been clearly established. There are two possible explanations:

  • The name of this settlement is probably derived from a Frankish single settlement "Beheim", which was built on the soil of the destroyed Roman city.
  • But it could also be a former slavery terminal with slaves from Bohemia or (more likely) a settlement founded by Slavic slaves that were bought by the Trier church.

The settlement was probably located between Böhmerstrasse and Dietrichstrasse . The former desert is now completely built over.

Cultural monuments

There are (at least) three cultural monuments from the 19th century in the street . Particularly noteworthy among the buildings on the street is the St. Elisabeth monastery:

St. Elisabeth Monastery

The monastery “St. Elisabeth ”was built on April 22, 1864 by the“ Franciscan Sisters of Penance and Christian Love ”from Nonnenwerth in Böhmerstrasse. A previous building stood ten years earlier on Dominikanerstrasse. Because of its location, it was popularly called "Bohemian Monastery". Both during the First World War and the Second World War , the monastery was destroyed and subsequently rebuilt. Today the building is used as a youth hostel, old people's home, housekeeping training center, parish pastoral care and as a kindergarten with the help of the Franciscan nuns in the "Bohemian Monastery".
