The Porta Nigra is the best-preserved Roman city gate north of the Alps – an unparalleled connection between the ancient past and today's modern city. The old city gate dates back to 170 AD, when the Romans liked to build public buildings out of large blocks. Since 1986, the Porta Nigra has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage and is protected cultural property under the Hague Convention.

Trier celebrated in 1984 the 2000th anniversary of the founding of the city. The old Augusta Treverorum was one of the most important administrative seats of the Roman Empire and most important city of Germany in Roman times.
But there is an old inscription on the Red House ....
Ante Romam Treviris stetit annis mille trecentis perstet aeterna pace fruatur. "Trier stood before Rome for thirteen hundred years, may it continue, rejoicing in eternal peace."
