Events
In 2009, Trier celebrated its 2025th birthday and its uninterrupted tradition of urban living since 17 BC. The founding date is derived from the age of the wooden pilings of the first Moselle bridge found in the mud of the river. Through a comparison of the annual growth rings (dendrochronology), the date when the trees for the pilings were felled was determined to be 17 BC.
In its eventful history, Trier served, among other purposes, as the seat of government for the Western Roman Empire; in the Middle Ages, it received the name “holy city”; it has survived many wars as a border city between Germany and France and today is a university city in the heart of Europe.
Trier’s history holds a wealth of personalities who have achieved great significance far beyond the region’s borders. For instance, Augustus, the first Roman Emperor, was the “godfather” of the city, founded under the name “Augusta Treverorum”. Or – more recently – Karl Marx was born in Trier on May 5, 1818, and grew up in the city.
