West / Pallien is one of the 19 districts of the city of Trier in Rhineland-Palatinate .

geography

The district is located on the left bank of the Moselle opposite the city center of Trier . In the west, the district is bounded by the Moselle heights, part of the Eifel , on the back of which is the Markusberg settlement belonging to the district. Trier-West / Pallien borders the Euren district in the south and the Biewer district in the north . The old town center of Pallien lies on a narrow ledge between red sandstone cliffs on one side and the banks of the Moselle on the other. The highest elevation in the district is 373.5 m above sea level. NN the Mohrenkopf.

Due to the topographical conditions, the settlement focus of the district is in the Moselle valley, where the different settlement areas of Pallien and Trier-West merge seamlessly and form an elongated settlement band with the adjoining districts of Euren and Zewen to the south . Apart from this settlement focus, the district also includes smaller settlement units located on the Moselle heights: Mohrenkopf, Markusberg and Busental (Trier-West district) and Auf der Jüngt, Gillenbachtal , Schneidershof ( Trier University of Applied Sciences ), Weißhaus, Kockelsberg and Sievenicher Hof (Pallien district).

history

The district was formed in 1913 by incorporating the village of Pallien and merging with the suburban Trier-West. The demarcation of today's statistical districts Trier-West and Pallien goes back to the formerly separate settlements.

The southern area of the district was long characterized by barracks . The Horn barracks was built from 1889 and demolished in the 1970s in favor of residential development. The Gneisenaucaserne , also known as the Städtische Kaserne, on Gneisenaustrasse was built from 1899 and abandoned in the 1930s. The buildings have largely been preserved; they were partially renovated in 2017 and partially in ruins. In these u. a. established the Trier House of Youth Law . The Jägerkaserne , built from 1910 on Eurener Strasse, was last used by the Bundeswehr and only given up as a barracks in 2014. The buildings have largely been preserved and are currently (2017) conversion properties.

Trier-West / Pallien survived the Second World War without serious damage. In the following decades in Trier-West / Pallien, in contrast to many other Trier districts, there were no noteworthy new urban developments. This is mainly due to the fact that there was no longer any free space available for large-scale urban development projects such as the construction of contemporary large housing estates. A development could only take place in the existing building. The only exceptions are the new residential area between Westfriedhof and Markusstrasse, which was built there in the 1970s on the site of the Horn barracks, and the Trier University campus at Schneidershof, whose building stock from 1938 was completed in the 1970s.

Religious institutions

There are a number of religious institutions in the city district, some with a catchment area beyond the city of Trier.

There are currently (2016) three Catholic churches and one deconsecrated Catholic church in the municipality. The oldest of these churches is the baroque church of St. Simon and Juda in the Pallien district. As it became too small, the foundation stone of the new Pallien parish church Maria Königin was laid on August 18, 1957 . It was desecrated, profaned and abandoned in August 2016 due to its dilapidation and danger of collapse, so that St. Simon and Judah is again the parish church. The area of Trier-West is currently shared by the parishes of Christ König and St. Simeon , each with its own church from the 20th century. In the spring of 2016, efforts were made to profane St. Simeon and to convert it into a warehouse for church objects.

The Evangelical Christians belong to the Trier-Ehrang parish . The New Apostolic Church Trier maintains a church building on Bitburger Strasse that is only used sporadically after the merger of the two Trier parishes.

In the Luxemburger Straße is the only Islamic Cultural Center Trier (two more mosques there are in neighboring Konz). There is a Buddhist center ( Diamond Way Buddhism ) in Hornstrasse .
