history

Johannisstrasse is named after the Johanniter-Tor, which led to a chapel dedicated to John the Baptist in the vicinity of the mother house . The name has been documented as sent jehansensgasse since the 13th century .

Cultural monuments

There are some important cultural monuments from the 18th century along the road . Among these buildings, the House of Venice deserves special mention, the entrance of which is in the neighboring Brückenstraße. However, many historical buildings in the street fell victim to the air raids on Trier during World War II . In addition, there are drafts for some planned, but never realized, architecturally interesting buildings in the street.

House number 1 stands out among the preserved buildings. It dates from 1828 and is a modern house for its time. The five-axis and three-storey facade is completely unadorned, however, in the style of the buildings from the turn of the century. The facade at Johannisstrasse 27 is also worth mentioning.
