Buildings

There are several significant cultural monuments in the street .

Glockenstrasse 10

The house can be compared to a building at Brotstraße 31. It was probably combined from two older buildings and was created in the present form in the first decade of the 19th century by the book printer owner Leistenschneider, who was also Trier Maire from 1810 and dated the building in 1805 Has acquired cathedral chapter. The windows are squat, rectangular, the walls are fascinating with relatively elongated ears and the parapets have the plastering area known from Brotstrasse 31. As a result of the renovation, the building has probably also received its simple twin portal , which consists of the described garments, elongated ears with gutta jewelry and an overlying frieze with two triglyphs and empire ornamentation in between . Empire ornamentation can also be found on the door leaves. A straight, projecting beam forms the upper end of the building. A very high and steep hipped roof is located above the classicist serrated cornice .

Overall, the overall appearance of the house is rather conservative. Buildings that leave the line of classicism and initially strive for romantic historicism with its consciously transforming application of historical forms are still rare in the fourth decade of the 19th century. Similar hesitant building structures can also be found at the portals at Jüdemerstraße 12.
