Red House (Trier)
The Red House is on Dietrichstrasse on the market square in Trier . The house was built in 1684 by the master builder Wolfgang Stuppeler for the cathedral secretary Johann Wilhelm Polch. After the destruction in the Second World War on December 21, 1944, the house was rebuilt between 1968 and 1970. There is currently a café in the house. On the front of the house you can find the inscription:
- ANTE ROMAM TREVIRIS STETIT ANNIS MILLE TRECENTIS.
- PERSTET ET ÆTERNA PACE FRVATVR. AMEN.
That means:
- Trier stood a thousand and three hundred years earlier than Rome.
- May it continue and enjoy eternal peace.
These lines refer to the legendary foundation of the city of Trier, first recorded in 1105, by Trebeta , a legendary Assyrian prince.
At times the Steipe next door was also referred to as the “Red House”.
