Description
Trier A nice old decorative view that looks down upon the city from the left bank of the Moselle. Founded as Augusta Treverorum by Augustus in 16 BC.
Trier is Germany's oldest city. Amongst its Roman remains, the massive basilica of Constantine from the start of the 4th century (right of the centre) is particularly striking.
Dominating the city centre is the architectural ensemble of three chuches: Trier cathedral, Germany's oldest sacred building, and beside it the early Gothic Liebfrauenkirche, with its distinctive tall crossing tower, followed by St Gangolf's.
The view shows Koblenz from the north. On the left, opposite the mouth of the Moselle, sits the 11th-century castle of Ehrenbreitstein, remodelled into a Trier electoral fortress at the start of the 16th century by Archbishop Richard von Greiffenklau zu Vollrads.
On the far right the 325m-long stone bridge over the Moselle was begun in 1342 by Elector Baldwin of Luxembourg and completed 85 years later.
Near the spit of land (today called the Deutsches Eck) at the confluence of the two rivers stands the late Romanesque basilica of St Castor, and on the right the late Romanesque Liebfrauenkriche.
Rothenburg:View of the small town from the opposite side of the Tauber Valley. Rothenburg "above the Tauber" is still known for its picturesque cityscape, and the numerous towers along the medieval ramparts in the engraving punctuate the skyline even today.
Visible on the left with its two towers is the parish church of St James, which in 1544 became Protestant and which houses Tilman Riemenschneider's famous Altarpiece of the Holy Blood from the early 16th century.
