The Maarstraße is a street in Trier in the district of North . It runs between Paulinstrasse and Zurmaiener Strasse . It practically represents the extension of Maximinstrasse .

history

The name is derived from the Latin "mare" or Old High German "mara" for a body of stagnant water and thus refers to the episcopal fish ponds that were once located here. A reference to the maars in the Eifel has not been handed down, but is given etymologically.

At the beginning of the 19th century, the “Maarviertel” district around Maarstrasse immediately northeast of Porta Nigra was the largest of the five suburbs on the outskirts. The suburb was surrounded by numerous smaller, mostly low-rise residential and commercial buildings.

Cultural monuments

There are eight cultural monuments in the street , among which the building at Maarstraße 79 stands out. The St. Martin Church is also in the street .

Until its demolition in the first decade of the 20th century, the so-called Lambert's garden house was located at Maarstrasse 16–22 . The building was connected to an extensive garden area, which, according to old city plans, was located in the now densely built-up area between Paulinstrasse and Engelstrasse. It was designed as a classicist garden house around 1800. It was a two-storey building made of red sandstone on a floor plan about eight meters long and six meters wide. Similar, but mostly single-storey garden houses are located on the Zurlaubener Ufer . Shortly before its demolition, it was documented for the last time in a dilapidated and dilapidated state by Wilhelm Deuser.
