The Kaiserstraße is a street in the old town of Trier . It runs between the Kaiserthermen in the east and the banks of the Moselle in the west. It is part of the Trier Alleenring and is only used as a one-way street in an east-west direction. The Südallee runs parallel and is only used in the opposite direction.
history
There are two ways of deriving the origin of the name: either the name is derived from a figure of the Roman Emperor Constantine standing on a high pillar at the end of the street on the banks of the Moselle , or it was chosen in memory of the German emperor's dignity that was restored in 1871. The upper part was named as early as 1895.
From 1933 to 1945 it was called Schlageterstraße .
Cultural monuments
In addition to some old remains of the former Trier city wall (including a defense tower) and the eastern front of the Kaiserthermen, there are 18 other cultural monuments from the 19th and early 20th centuries on the street. The buildings were mainly built in neoclassicism . One of the buildings is the Trier synagogue.
The stage - a former newspaper kiosk, located in the green belt at Neustraße, was redesigned into an exhibition space in 2009 by students of the courses in architecture and interior design at Trier University of Applied Sciences. The exhibits are visible from the outside through the windows and can therefore be admired regardless of opening times. Opposite is one of two inner city filling stations in Trier.
