The St.-Barbara-Ufer is a street along the banks of the Moselle in Trier on the edge of the city ​​center . It connects the Pacelliufer with the Johanniterufer . The street is named after the former Trier suburb of St. Barbara, which got its name from the Dominican monastery of the same name (1190 to 1556). The street has had her name since 1888.

There are several cultural monuments along the road . The so-called Constantine Column near the Roman Bridge deserves a special mention. It is an octagonal, neo-Gothic pillar from 1847, which was part of the St. Barbara Gate in Trier. The column is said to date from 1726. The statue of the Roman Emperor Constantine is not the original, but a replica. The original is now in the palace garden . The St. Barbara customs gate itself was built in 1815 by Johann Georg Wolff in the classical style and had a total of four pillars. The gate was already highly controversial during the construction period. Except for the Constantine Column, nothing remains of the city gate that was demolished at the end of the 19th century.

Historically, several historicizing and classicist houses stood along the street on the city side , but the majority of them were demolished in the course of the 20th century. Number 1b, 3 and 4 of the remaining residential buildings are listed as historical monuments .
