The Krahnstraße is a street in Trier in the district center . It runs as an extension of Johannisstraße down to the Moselle to the Krahnenufer .

history

The name is derived from the Old Krahnen , built in 1413 , and used to be part of Johannisstrasse. Historically, the street is the main axis of the Trier Schifferviertel.

Cultural monuments

There are ten preserved cultural monuments in the street . The buildings date from several eras. On the street is also the northern front of the mother house of the Borromean Sisters , which is also a listed building. The town houses at Krahnenstrasse 20–29, which were destroyed in the Second World War , were also outstanding . Two special buildings are described in more detail below:

Former Caspary brewery

The Caspary brewery was one of the structures in the street that have since been destroyed. The founder, Johann Baptist Caspary, came from Bernkastel-Kues and founded the brewery on September 26, 1826 in Krahnenstrasse. In 1862, however, when his son Anton Caspary took over the brewery, it moved to Fahrstrasse 13-14. Just a decade later, in the years 1873–1875, a new brewery and malt house was built in Heiligkreuz . The brewery existed until 1983, at least at its location in Heiligkreuz. Today only the street names "Anton-Caspary-Straße", "Gambrinusstraße" and "Am Hopfengarten" remind of the brewery in the residential area.

House at Krahnenstrasse 38

The town house dominates with its simple baroque forms . However, the building is not typical of the local area, but can be found in a similar design throughout the Rhineland . The building was originally erected in 1717. The two-story house is completely unadorned and has five axes. The central entrance can be reached via five entrance steps, which can be attributed to the development near the bank. Instead of the otherwise typical mansard roof , it has a simple gable roof with a small overhang typical of the region. The house is therefore timeless. A similar, but still more representative, house can be found at Simeonstrasse 53 .
