Cultural monuments

Winery in Gilbertstrasse 34

There are various important historical cultural monuments (or here ) both in Gilbertstrasse and Speestrasse .

In Gilbertstraße, the winery at number 34 stands out. The foundation stone was laid in 1905 by the winery owner H. Kunz. But shortly after construction at the latest, the building passed to Johann Förster. The structure is completely made of reinforced concrete. The concrete and reinforced concrete construction company Carl Brandt in Düsseldorf, which planned according to the plans of the Aachen architecture professor Carl Sieben, was commissioned for the construction. A three-aisled hall with a wide central nave and narrower, smaller aisles rises above the two-storey basement on an area of ​​41.50 mx 30.00 m. The middle and right aisles serve as a storage room, while the left aisle accommodates ancillary rooms such as the tasting room, washroom, toilet, the boss's room, office, washroom and clothes rack, toilets and stairwell to the mansard roof, with a packing room behind. Due to its very idiosyncratic design, the street facade falls completely out of the otherwise small-scale row of houses: two bulky, pylon-like towers visually strut over the segment-arched barrel roof of the central nave and the low aisles with their slipped mansard roofs step back slightly behind the bombastic construction. There are also Art Nouveau ornaments on the building. The other facade is decorated with historicist elements and is intended to be reminiscent of the style of classicist merchant houses.

The so-called Gilbertstrasse coffee house from 1820 used to be located on Gilbertstrasse, but it was demolished for various reasons. The so-called Gilbert's garden also belonged to the coffee house.

The monument zones Weidengasse and Eberhardstraße are in the wider area. On the adjacent Weidengasse is the Trier Jewish Cemetery , on which an old walnut tree stands.

In addition, a large part of the street, especially the southern part, is paved with cobblestones.
