The Paulinstraße is a street in Trier in the districts of mid and north . The street runs from Porta-Nigra-Platz to the main cemetery , where it turns into Herzogenbuscher Straße . There were many large, magnificent buildings on the street, but many of them were destroyed in the Second World War.
history
The street has been one of the city's most important arterial roads since Roman times. In Roman times it was outside the city. The northern grave fields lay parallel. In the middle of the 19th century the street became part of the core city of Trier as part of the city expansion when the old city wall was torn down.
The street is named after the Trier bishop Paulinus , who was buried in the church of the same name by Balthasar Neumann , which the street leads past. In the Middle Ages the street was called vicus longus (long alley).
building
There were once many cultural monuments in the street, only a few of which have survived today.
The Franciscan monastery was also located on the street, and has been a home for the elderly since 1976.
In addition, the east facade of the street-defining Hotel Mercure (until 2004 Dorint Porta Nigra), which opened in 1968 and whose entrance is on Porta-Nigra-Platz, is located on the street. In its place was the "Hotel Porta Nigra", built in 1898 in the style of historicism until 1967 .
Villa Laeis
Of the buildings still preserved, the Villa Laeis deserves particular mention, a representative, cubic neo-renaissance building with flat hipped roofs and two outbuildings. It is the villa of the founder of the "Eisengießerei und Maschinenfabrik Laeis" on Ostallee, Eduard Laeis . In 1874 he left them for himself and his wife Julie née. Build a cellar on the vacant property at the beginning of Paulinstrasse in the style of Italian villas of the early Renaissance. The forecourt facing the street is framed by two narrow, two-story buildings that originally housed utility rooms and staff rooms. The courtyard is fenced off towards the street by a high, cast iron grating. The villa is one of the few preserved villas of this type in Trier-Nord. It reflects the rank and the will to represent the client, one of the leading industrialists of the early days in Trier.
St. Paulin with Balthasar-Neumann-Straße
The eponymous baroque church, visible from afar, is not directly on the street. But it is visible at the junction with Balthasar-Neumann-Straße. The section of Balthasar-Neumann-Straße is laid out as a direct escape to the church building and as an avenue. In the remainder of the street there are some magnificent buildings, including the former curia of the St. Paulin monastery.
There is a medieval cross on the side of the road by the road.
economy
The street is one of the most important shopping streets in Trier with more than 60 shops and restaurants, including an Aldi branch in a backyard and the Broadway Filmpalast cinema .
