course

It runs from the junction Johannistraße / Krahnenstraße to the junction Lorenz-Kellner-Straße / Karl-Marx-Straße . It flows smoothly into Windmühlenstraße and is an extension of Lorenz-Kellner-Straße. The street is a one-way street , which is used in the opposite direction to the house numbers.

history

The street was already the western edge of the city along the Roman city wall in Roman times . The road has been undeveloped for centuries and has therefore remained almost unchanged. Despite its proximity to the banks of the Moselle, the road remained flood-free for centuries. The name was first mentioned in 1363 as "Veltgasse".

Under the name “ extended field road”, the road used to lead directly to Südallee. The southern part of the street was renamed “Lorenz-Kellner-Straße” in 1878. The name refers to the educator Lorenz Kellner , who worked in Trier from 1855 to 1892.

The street gained national fame in 1993 when the largest gold coin treasure from the Roman Empire was found there during construction work.

Buildings and shops

At the beginning of the street on the corner of Lorenz-Kellner-Strasse and Karl-Marx-Strasse is the Hess car dealership, which specializes in Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The building is characteristic of the street.

However, there are other historical cultural monuments from the 19th century along the road .

Also worth mentioning is the house at Feldstrasse 10, which was built in 1797 and is therefore the oldest house on Feldstrasse. It represents an anachronism in the street scene, because although it is one of the first buildings in Trier with a progressive floor plan, the structural forms of the facade are designed according to the type of their profile according to forms of the early 18th century. Contemporary elements such as guttae or fascia formation do not exist. The builder Schiffer Rode has apparently combined conservative taste with a progressive design of the floor plan. The extensions in the 19th century were carried out without regard to the existing building. The old house numbering was retained on the facade: 1784: 671; 1851: 292. On the portal frame there is a small ribbon cartridge in Louis-Seize style with the date of construction and the initials of the client MLK and with the crossed anchor as a guild symbol.
