The Liebfrauenstraße is a street in the Trier city center . It runs from the Domfreihof with the Church of Our Lady in the direction of Mustorstrasse / Konstantinbasilika . The Liebfrauenkirche is eponymous here.

The street is a shopping street. The most famous shop on the street is the "Rappelkiste". The Kesselstatt wine tavern is also located in the palace of the same name on the street.

The historic archway that spans the street at the southern end at the transition to the street Am Breitenstein is particularly defining. There are eight cultural monuments in total in the street . Most of these buildings are stately courtyards and church buildings. These include the Episcopal Capitol and the Kesselstatt Palace. At the beginning of the street is the Gothic Church of Our Lady, the oldest church of its kind in Germany.

At Liebfrauenstrasse 2 there was a destroyed school building from 1836, which stood out due to its hipped roof and its façade, which was rather bare compared to the surrounding area. It was built in place of a previous building from 1810. The building is attributed to the master builder Johann Georg Wolff , who also built many other historic Trier buildings.

In the street there are also the remains of the former monastery of St. Afra .
