The Windstraße is a street in the center of Trier .

History and course

It runs between Domfreihof and Balduinstrasse . It leads directly past the north facade.

The western passage of the street between the cathedral and the Dompropstei is so narrow that there is always a strong draft, which is why the name of the street is derived. While the front part of the name has been used since the Middle Ages, the rear part from Dominikanerstrasse has only been under this name since 1863.

Cultural monuments

There are three cultural monuments on the street : These are the Diocesan Museum , the Quadt Curia and the Rollingerhof, a former Konvikt building.

Rollingerhof at number 4

The Konvikt building at Windstrasse 4 was built in 1844 by the Koblenz government building inspector Johann Claudius von Lassaulx from black-gray, small-format sandstones with an intermediate sandstone masonry in red-yellow. The building is not designed as a plastered structure typical of the region, but in small-format sandstones as exposed brickwork, which is unusual in Trier. The Konvikt stands on an almost storey-high plinth clad with red sandstone slabs. The facade of the 19-axis, three-storey building is primarily structured by two corner pilasters and a flat three-axis central riser . The two upper floors one finds a facade flush Sohlbankbänderung . In the eaves area, the building is structured by a flat blind arch on a horizontal base. The roof is a moderately steep hipped roof .

The former military prison, also built by Lassaulx, is attached to the building. It consists of a simple, rectangular three-storey building with a gable roof . The front of the building is structured by five twin window axes. It does not take up the elaborate primary structure of the Konviktes. In terms of color, however, it is based on the Konvikt. The Konvikt building is a total of two years older.

Konvikt building and cathedral are architecturally and in terms of their material also based on the opposite cathedral.
