The Jacob Street is a street in the Trier city center . It runs from the main market over the Stockplatz to the horse market and is exclusively part of the pedestrian zone .
history
The street is named after the Trier alder Jakob. A lay judge with this name is documented both in 1197 and in 1211. The name of the street was first mentioned in 1238 as platea domini Jacobi . In the 14th century, when the origin of the name was forgotten, the street was called Sent Jacobsgasse (probably based on the saint of the same name ).
Shops and buildings
The street is one of the main business streets in Trier. In addition to the Treviris Passage, a McDonald’s branch and a few small shops, there are also many hotels on the street .
There are several historical cultural monuments in the street . Particularly noteworthy is the destroyed house at Jakobstrasse 27, the so-called Treviris clubhouse : It was characterized by its three-storey and three-axis construction and its internal structure with two simple cornices and reduced corner pilasters . Unfortunately, only one portal remains from the facade. The house came from master builder Peter Görgen (1784–1843), whose house he built is located on Brückenstraße .
The Judenpforte on Stockplatz is also worth mentioning. There is also a shaft cross on the street that was built by Matthias Neu in 1845. The slightly bulged shaft around the cross shows a flaming heart under a garland above the donor's inscription. The cross, which ends in double split bars, is adorned with an IHS monogram, two flowers and the Sacred Heart in a laurel wreath.
Other imposing buildings on the street are a complex of houses with Gothic and Renaissance elements at Jakobstraße 13 and a baroque building at Jakobstraße 26, of which the facade has been preserved without the ground floor. Unfortunately, the baroque buildings with house numbers 9, 10 and 15 have since been demolished.
