geography
Geographical location
Feyen-Weismark is a district of the independent city of Trier and is located about 3.5 kilometers south of Trier city center. The district is located on the slope terraces of the Moselle, which flows west in a south-north direction . There is also the Trier (-Feyen) barrage with a Moselle power plant. This is also the lowest point of the district at 133.5 m above sea level. NN. To the north, the Saarbrücken-Trier railway forms the demarcation to the Trier-Süd district with the St. Medard district and the site of the St. Matthias Benedictine abbey . To the east lies the Heiligkreuz district behind the Mattheiser Weiher parks. The plant is a popular recreation area on the Weismark, the city garden one on the county. South of the Mattheiser Weiher is the Südbad. The Südbad is the largest and most popular outdoor pool in the city. The Mattheiser Forest nature reserve in the south-east and south is a contiguous forest area on the outskirts of Trier, which has been able to come to a standstill after years of military use and is a fauna-flora habitat . The highest point in the district is the Maarwiesberg at 313.7 m above sea level. NN near the former forest house Kobenbach in the south with its arable land adjacent to the city of Konz .
The district is traversed by various brooks that flow in a westerly direction from the mountain slopes into the Moselle: Kobenbach , Winsbach, Klingelbach, Sandbach and Aulbach .
geology
Geologically, the soil in the area of the floodplain directly on the Moselle can be assigned to the Quaternary and Holocene , predominantly with sand and gravel. On the older terraces, especially in the district of the county and west of the road Auf der Weismark , there is sand, gravel, clay, in the lower layers of these terraces from the Devonian and Central Devonian slate interspersed. Otherwise, the soils come from the Devonian and Lower Devonian with Hunsrück slate in the lower soil layers.
Agricultural areas are located near the Mattheiser Weiher with allotment gardens, north of the district of Feyen Im Pfaffenbungert and Auf der Grucht, a contiguous area with kitchen or house gardens and viticulture (the latter especially on the slope terrace to the Saarbrücken-Trier railway line), in the Esterberg , Ahlenberg and Auf dem Carl with viticulture and south of the Mattheiser Forest to the city limits to Konz, arable land in the field names Auf dem Berg , Roscheiderwild and Auf der Maarwies . In the estimate of the agriculturally used areas of the soil appraisal by the tax authorities, the number of arable land is usually from 20 to 60, better soils are in Im Pfaffenbungert and in the allotment gardens at the Mattheiser ponds with arable numbers of 60 to 80.
climate
Feyen-Weismark is located in the Trier valley and is characterized by a Western European-Atlantic climate, which is characterized by mild winters, moderate summers and high annual rainfall. As a result, the Trier valley is also one of the warmest regions in Germany.

Population development
The oldest population for Feyen dates back to 1563, when 40 people lived here. The place remained so small for centuries, and at times the number of residents even decreased. In 1702 there were 35 residents. In the Napoleonic era and at the beginning of the Prussian era, their numbers rose so slowly. The district has grown continuously, since the 1930s, initially through the construction of the "settlement" in the Weismark area , from 1977 through the Grafschaft construction area , from 1999 through takeover and partly new buildings in the area of the former housing estate of the French armed forces and currently through the conversion of the Conversion area of the former Castelnau barracks . At times, however, there was also a certain escape from the city .
The following population figures from 1970 onwards are taken from the municipal statistics and calculations of the city of Trier as of December 31st:

religion
Feyen-Weismark, like the entire area around Trier, has a Roman Catholic influence. The district has been part of the Trier St. Matthias parish since autumn 2003. The parish has a branch church within the district, St. Valerius, the former parish church of the parish of the same name.
Only a small part of the population belongs to the Protestant church and is part of the Protestant parish of Trier. There is no separate Protestant church in the area of the district.
As another worldview, the Jehovah's Witnesses have a community center within the district.

history
The meaning of the names of the settlements in the city district is derived as follows:
- The name Feyen is based on the Celtic river or stream name handed down as "Vienna" (see Vianden , Vienne / France, Vienna). In 1401 Feyen is still referred to as "Vianden bei Enxstrich".
- Weismark is probably a bracket form from "white (Wacken) Mark". The word mark refers to the boundary sheath. In the vicinity of today's street Auf der Weismark , there was a "Marck" as the border between the territory of the Benedictine Abbey of St. Matthias and the former Abbey of St. Irminen.
- Grafschaft is derived from a field name that is on the spell of Feyen. Feyen belonged to the Trier county in Franconian times.
- The name Castelnau refers to the Trier-Feyen infantry barracks , which were built in 1938/39 as part of the so-called rearmament of the Nazi regime on a previously undeveloped site. After the end of the Second World War , the French armed forces took over the barracks and named them Quartier Castelnau in memory of the French general Noël de Castelnau .
After the Second World War, allied forces from France were stationed in the Feyener barracks, which was renamed Castelnau barracks. A housing estate for French military personnel was built in the vicinity in the mid / late 1950s. After the French military withdrew in 1999, the conversion area was used again: while the residential buildings were renovated and sold in the following years, the barracks area lay idle for more than ten years. Plans for the establishment of a “craftsmen's park” in the area of the Galgenberg were discarded; instead, a residential area is currently planned at the same location. Since 2011, the conversion of the barracks to residential purposes has also been planned and implemented. In this area, as part of the “Trier 2025+ retail concept”, a completely new local supply center with various options for retail, service providers and medical care is being built in the Castelnau district.
Culture and sights
Buildings

Chapel of St. German
The Catholic chapel of St. German ad undas is located in the vineyard above a homestead in the arch of Hochstraße over the railway tracks of the Saarbrücken-Trier railway line in Pellinger Straße .
The church building of St. German is of interest as a historical place, which was already occupied in late Roman times with a larger suburban area including a burial ground, in the place of which a monastery was built in the 13th century, later an estate of the monastery of St. Irminen , the passed into private hands with secularization . The secularized building was initially used as a residential building, but in 1848 it was converted back into a chapel by the owner at the time, the hereditary farm farmer Müller, and given to the parish of St. Matthias for worship in Feyen. In 1899 the chapel was rebuilt, bombed in 1944 and restored in 1948. During the renovation in 1988/1989, also with the renewal of the roof structure and new slate covering, Roman screed and Roman masonry in the ascending part was detected. Until the construction of the Catholic Church of St. Valerius in Bornewasserstraße , the chapel was the place of worship for the parish of Feyen, which was part of the parish of St. Matthias, and from 1942 of the newly founded parish of St. Valerius.
The chapel is a plastered gable roof with a retracted rectangular choir and gable roof turret. The facade is structured by a central portal with a shell niche above, in which the clay figure of St. Germanus stands, flanked by two high, arched windows and closed off by a triangular gable with a central oculus and rising arched friezes. Inside is a floor made of Mettlach decorative tiles and remains of altar structures.
The special patronage is remarkable: the chapel is the only consecrated sacred building in the entire old Archdiocese of Trier, dedicated to St. Germanus is considered. The question arises, however, after which saint Germanus the chapel is actually named. For Georg Ch. Neller, as for many residents of St. Germanus, it seems clear that this is St. Germanus of Auxerre . His only known connection to Trier is his trip with Bishop Severus (of Ravenna?) From Trier to England. There the two bishops wanted to fight the Pelagian heresy . Whether Germanus of Auxerre and Bishop Severus of Ravenna actually met, has to be questioned because of the life dates determined (Germanus of Auxerre † July 31, 448 in Ravenna, Severus of Ravenna † February 1, 344). Christoph Brower and Jacob Masen presented a different version for the first time: In their opinion, the patron of the church is St. Germanus von Granfelden . Germanus von Granfelden came from a Senatorial family in Trier and was the brother of Bishop Numerian . At this time, the St. Irminen / Oeren monastery was founded, which also took over the lordship of the area on which the chapel of St. German ad undas was later built.
St. Valerius Church
The Catholic Church of St. Valerius can be found at the southwest end of Bornewasserstraße , on the edge of the Weismark settlement , adjacent to the former housing estate for French military personnel and the Feyen settlement behind it . The patron saint of the church is St. Valerius , the second bishop of Trier, who found his final resting place in the crypt of the abbey and parish church of St. Matthias .
The church was built in 1953/1954 according to the plans of the architect and then Trier building councilor Alfons Leitl and was already used for the first service in October 1954, but the church was not consecrated until June 1982. The sacred building became the parish church of the parish of the same name, St. Valerius, since September 2003 a branch church of the newly founded parish of St. Matthias.
The vestibular, elongated building with a semicircular facade structured by buttresses has a crypt underneath the chancel of the ellipsoidal choir, which was created by utilizing the hillside location. To the south, the sacristy and rectory are connected, the free-standing bell tower ( campanile ) is incorporated into the surrounding wall of the rectory courtyard. The church contains sculptures by Willi Hahn such as the sandstone sculpture above the main portal and the stations of the cross and bronze sculptures by Ernst Alt (altar cross, ambo, tabernacle door, Easter candlestick).
Shammat Cross
In the lower area of the street Auf der Weismark is the so-called Schammat Cross, built in 1669. The wayside shrine got its name in the vernacular because it was erected on the wall of the Shammat, owned by the Benedictine Abbey of St. Matthias . The inscription under the crucifixion group says that the well and water pipe builder (“Bronnenleyder”) Christian Baur donated the wayside shrine with his “housewife” Sofia. Below the inscription the cartouche of the founder is shown with an arrow and an angle. The men of the Baur family from St. Matthias are documented in the 16th and 17th centuries as well builders. Because of the similarity of the craftsmanship and the temporal and spatial proximity to the Abbey of St. Matthias, it is assumed that the Schammat Cross as well as the examples Am Bildstock (1673) and the Schneider Cross (1668) in Saarstrasse originate from the same stonemason's workshop.
Wayside shrine
The "wayside shrine", also "Canener Kreuz", named after the nearby field name "Im Kahnen", is located at the meeting of the old ways from St. Matthias (Straße Auf der Weismark ), from Feyen ( Zum Pfahlweiher / Auf der Weismark ) and from Mariahof ( An der Härenwies ). The wayside shrine, built in 1673, is made of light-colored sandstone. The upper quarter of the shaft, to which a pilaster with a ploughshare hanging from a triple rope is presented, is missing. The broadly projecting capital is inscribed: JOHANNES VON EIRZ HAS THIS CROSS IN HONOR OF MARY CHRIST AND MARY LET ERECT IN 1673. Above a bow-shaped cornice is a Pietà, on the right a saint with a kneeling donor. The surfaces are badly damaged.
The wayside shrine at the confluence with the street Auf der Weismark , which gave its name to the branching off street Am Bildstock in 1934, is important as a historical landmark and as a testimony to popular piety.
War memorial with wayside cross
At the junction of the street Am Knie from Pellinger Straße there is a crossroad made of light sandstone, with an integrated body, the corners of the cross are widened and decorated with rocailles, dated 1766 at the base. According to tradition, it was erected in the old town center when a smallpox epidemic was overcome.
An unusual reinterpretation of the crossroads as a war memorial happened in 1933: When it was included in a war memorial, the shaft was renewed, plaques with the names of the fallen were added to its sides, and after the Second World War the years 1939 and 1945 were printed on the shaft itself chiseled in.
In this place, on the morning of the day of national mourning for the dead of the world wars, a wreath is laid by the cultural associations of the district (currently only by the Trier-Feyen Music Association).
Plague cross
The plague cross at the confluence of the Feyener Weg and Pellinger Strasse was probably erected around 1872 after a cattle disease broke out in Feyen in 1870, which killed around 40 cattle.
The cattle were buried in a sand pit, and the Feyen people put the plague cross on the edge of the pit. At the same time, the Franco-German War took place (1870–1871). The original inscription read: There is salvation in the cross. O Lord, keep us from plague, hunger and war. Built ... . It has been restored several times, most recently in 1982 by the Trier-Feyen Men's Singing Association. The new inscription reads: The Lord keep us from plague, hunger and war.

High bunker
One of the seven bunkers, which were built under Heinrich Otto Vogel's planning by the municipal building department under Heinrich Otto Vogel as a result of the nationwide decree in the autumn of 1940 to protect the civilian population in Trier city area, stands at the confluence of the street Am Bildstock with street Im Hofacker .
The high bunker is two-story with a high hipped roof and a protruding tower-like staircase with its own hipped roof. Like the other two high bunkers in Thyrsusstraße (Trier-Nord) and Augustinerhof , this bunker was provided with historicizing individual elements, such as base plates, frames for the openings (window-like panels around the circular air holes) and a carnation-shaped eaves cornice in red sandstone.
The bunker, a memorial against fascism, is a testimony to the cynical politics of the National Socialists, who on the one hand wanted to calm the population with the pleasing design of the building, and on the other hand firmly reckoned with the danger of war for their own population.
Südbad
The Südbad was built between 1956 and 1957 as the second outdoor pool in Trier, after the Nordbad on the Moselle, on the southern edge of the city, above the Mattheiser Weiher.
On June 16, 1957, around 2000 visitors flocked to the Südbad when it was officially opened with swimming competitions, high diving and water polo games. This enthusiasm continues to this day: with over 5000 visitors on peak days and up to 100,000 bathers per season, it is still very popular. The visitor record was set on August 19, 2012 with 6721 bathers.
The 30,000 m² facility on the eastern bank of the Aulbach, the course of which has been shifted to the west for the facility of the south baths, was built according to the plans of the Trier architect Gerold Dietrich and the Lower Saxon landscape architect Klaus Karnitz, who specializes in baths.
In the south there is a single-storey entrance building, two-storey towards the bathroom, with a reception hall, changing and shower cubicles and a restaurant area; the caretaker's apartment is bent at right angles. The entrance hall, which is completely open as a window wall with four thin round supports and a slightly rising ceiling towards the bathroom, shows typical design features of the architecture of the 1950s . The original floor covering was beige and yellow cement tiles , on the wall there was a relief image with Trier motifs.
The basin area, which consists of two large, irregularly shaped pools, is reached via an outside staircase, the non-swimmer pool (1200 m²) with two slides and 25-meter lanes facing each other at a narrowing, and the swimmer's pool with 50-meter lanes and the parabolic one Reinforced concrete diving tower as the structural center of the facility with 3, 5, 8 and 10 meter boards. The technical floor with water treatment systems and toilets is located under this diving platform, taking advantage of the sloping terrain. On the east side of the non-swimmer's pool, after the general renovation from 2008 to 2010, another slide 78 meters in length and its own outlet was created. The water basins together have an area of 2370 m² and hold around 6000 m³ of water. Around the pool there are wide, terraced lawns with individual groups of trees, the outer boundary is formed by tall trees.
The special thing about Südbad is that it operates as a public-private partnership (PPP) between the city and the private sector. An Austrian company has taken over the operation of the pool with the renovation. Until 2035, it will ensure that the bathroom is permanently maintained and financed in close coordination with the city. The company receives a fixed fee from the city for this. Citizens can be sure that they will be able to relax in a consistently attractive bathroom over the years.
Since the entire area is designated as a monument protection zone, the extensive general renovation in the years 2008 to 2010 posed a particular challenge. In its entirety, the Südbad, despite its clear reduction, is an outstanding and rarely complete example of an open-air swimming pool in the Federal Republic of Germany from the 1950s Germany.
