Noteworthy, well-preserved house facades of different architectural styles with a market cross and St. Peter's fountain on the spacious square. On market days, there is a busy hustle and bustle here in the pleasantly traffic-calmed zone.

The main market of Trier is the central and one of the largest squares in the city.

It is located in the historic city center directly in front of the cathedral city in today's Mitte/Gartenfeld district. The most important urban commercial streets come together here. In 958, Archbishop Henry I equipped the main market with the market cross as a symbol of sovereignty. The main market was a place for selling goods and trading in the medieval city.

The central square of Trier city center and still the location of the weekly market with many stands. From spring to autumn as well as the pedestrian zone to Porta Nigra, it is mostly hopelessly overcrowded. If you want to enjoy the history here in peace, it is best to come on Sundays in winter (or with a mask during the current Corona lockdown).
