Places to see in ( Trier - Germany ) Imperial Roman Baths
Going to the baths was an important part of Roman life: Over 1600 years ago, the Romans built one of the grandest and most impressive baths in the world: the Imperial Baths. Today you can visit this gigantic bathing facility: go back in time to the Roman era, descend into the subterranean labyrinth and get a feel for history!
People bathed naked (not always separately), could engage in sports, sit in cold and hot baths, swim, get a massage, have the body hair removed by tweezers or wax, and be cleaned with the help of scrapers, pumice stone, or fermented urine. They could relax, gamble, do business, go to the hairdresser's, libraries, reciting rooms, or pubs.
When you enter the Imperial Baths (Kaiserthermen, fee) you will first come to the hot water bath (large enough for present-day theater and opera performances complete with stage, orchestra, and 650 seats).
The incoming cold water was heated in altogether six boiler rooms, four of which are visible in the 19m (62 ft) high ruins which later served as a part of the medieval city wall. The 40° C/104° F hot water was then conducted into the three semicircular pools for the bathers.
A hollow-floor heating system heated the pool floors as well as the rectangular central part of the vaulted hall. You can descend from here into the underground service tunnels and then continue to the cold water bath. The sports grounds are located outside the enclosed facilities.

KAISERTHERMEN , Roman Bath ruins in TRIER, Germany
Trier was the first city in modern day Germany. Built by the Romans 2000 years ago , The Kaiserthermen are Roman Bath ruins that we toured in March 2017
Trier's Roman Imperial Baths
Trier is Germany's oldest city. It sports the ruins of Roman baths from ca. 300AD. The service ways are open to the public.
Germany: The Roman Trier
Trier was founded more than 2000 years ago under the name of Augusta Treverorum (from the second half of the 3rd century 'Treveris') and claimes together with the city of Neuss, the title of Germany's oldest city.
Trier is said to have the longest history as a city recognized by the Romans. There are some interesting Roman monuments and ruins from that time.
This video shows: The Barbara Baths, The amphitheater from the Roman period and The Imperial Thermal Baths.
The Barbara Baths (Augusta Treverorum) is the Roman bath complex with the largest floor area, which was north of the Alps.
The Barbara Baths were built in the second half of the 2nd Century AD. At that time, the spa facility at the cattle market is likely to become small for the growing urban population. At the time of origin the spa had the dimensions of 172 x 240 m (42,500 m²). With that they covered two apartment buildings and a road. The ancient Roman 'Ruwerwasserleitung' supplied Trier with water from the Ruwer, a right tributary of the river Moselle.
The amphitheater from the Roman period, which can accommodate up to 18 000 spectators after the completion at 100 AD .
Under the arena there was a cellar, which is still preserved. There were elevators to make the actors appear. It was therefore not possible to flood the arena with water. The amphitheater was part of the Roman city walls and is situated below the Mount Peter (Petriberg). One of the reasons why the amphitheater was built on the Petri hill was, that the slopes of the Petri hill only half had to be backfilled with earth for tribunes for specators. The arena is oriented to the north and has a north and a south entrance. By a hidden elevator in the middle of the arena animals and performers could quickly be brought into the arena.
The Imperial Thermal Baths are the remains of a large Roman bath system, that can be viewed today as an impressive ruin. The resulting apses still show the Roman construction of layers of white stone and red bricks ( Ziegeldurchschus), which was used for stability and for aesthetic goals.
Since 1986 they are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Roman Monuments.

Tour of Roman Amphitheater in Trier Germany
Near the imperial baths in Trier, Germany, are the ruins of a Roman amphitheater, dating from the first century AD. The amphitheater was used in the Roman imperial era (until the 5th century) for gladiator fights and animal contests.
The entire structure, consisting of an elliptical arena and a stepped auditorium, was surrounded by a high wall, divided into individual stories by colonnaded arcades. The complex could seat up to 25,000 people. Underneath the arena is a vast basement where gladiators, criminals, and exotic beasts were kept prior to their release into the arena.
In the 5th century, the inhabitants of Trier used the amphitheater as a place of refuge from the increasingly frequent raids by Germanic tribes. The site was used as a quarry in the Middle Ages.
Today, the amphitheater area is used for the Antiquity Festival and open-air concerts.

Roman Monuments of Trier - UNESCO World Heritage Site
The UNESCO World Heritage site of Trier, in the far west of Germany, just a stone's throw from Luxembourg, lays claim to being the oldest city in the country. It was founded as a Roman military encampment, and due to its strategic position on the Rhine it became one of the most important cities in the Empire (after only Rome, the eastern capital in Constantinople, and the Egyptian capital in Alexandria). There's a great legacy of buildings here, including bathhouses, fortifications, an amphitheatre, throne room and a bridge, though several buildings were closed due to snow and ice on the day we visited. But it was still a lot of fun!

Trier – Roman Heritage In Germanys Oldest City
Cathedral of Trier, Germany
The High Cathedral of Saint Peter in Trier is the oldest cathedral in the country. The edifice is notable for its extremely long life span under multiple different eras each contributing some elements to its design, including the center of the main chapel being made of Roman brick laid under the direction of Saint Helen, resulting in a cathedral added onto gradually rather than rebuilt in different eras. Its dimensions, 112.5 m length by 41 m width, make it the largest church structure in Trier. In 1986 it was listed as part of the Roman Monuments, Cathedral of St. Peter and Church of Our Lady in Trier UNESCO World Heritage Site
The Lemonicks in Trier - Germany 4K Travel Channel
It was a great pleasure for us to spend some time with the Lemonicks in Trier. The Lemonicks, these are Nisha and Vasu, a charming couple from Mumbai, India. Just like us, they love to travel, to collect many beautiful memories. Nisha is a famous Indian travel blogger. In the meantime, Vasu, an avid photographer, has ended its corporate career and joined her. We met them the first time in Bangkok. When we heard that they will be in Europe the next months, we invited them to visit Ursula's hometown, Trier. We were very pleased that they found the time during their stay in Frankfurt.
Trier is the oldest town in Germany and looks back at a more than 2000-year story. The Romans have left remarkable traces in this town, especially after Constantine the Great moved his seat of government there.
We begin our tour on the Petrisberg, from where you have a wonderful panorama view of the city.
Particularly the Cathedral of Trier and Constantine Basilica, Constantine's former throne room, stand out. One also sees the Porta Nigra, the former city gate, the Trier Imperial Baths as well as the Roman amphitheater. All these buildings are on the UNESCO List of World Heritage Sites.
In southern direction is the Abby St. Matthias. It is said to be the burial place of the apostle Matthias.
After the first look, we go to the center of the city, but at the Main Market, it starts to rain. So we decide to make a tour of the churches of Trier.
We start in the Cathedral of Trier, which houses the Seamless Robe of Jesus and continue to the Church of Our Lady. As it is still raining, we got to the Constantine Basilica. The impressive interior is 27.2 m wide, 33 m high and 67 m long, with the entrance hall even 75. It is the largest still existing single room of the ancient world. Today, the Constantine Basilica serves as an evangelical church. In 2014, one provided the church with a new organ with 82 registers, over 6,000 pipes.

Es war uns eine große Freude, den Tag mit den Lemonicks in Trier zu verbringen.
Die Lemonicks, das sind Nisha und Vasu, ein reizendes indisches Paar aus Mumbai. Genau wie wir, lieben sie es zu reisen, um viele schöne Erinnerungen zu sammeln. Nisha ist eine berühmte indische Reise-Bloggerin. Inzwischen hat Vasu, ein begeisterter Fotograf, seine Firmenkarriere beendet und sich ihr angeschlossen. Wir trafen sie das erste Mal in Bangkok.
Als wir hörten, dass sie die nächsten Monate in Europa sein werden, haben wir sie eingeladen, ihnen Ursulas Heimatstadt Trier zu zeigen. Wir freuten uns sehr, dass sie während ihres Aufenthaltes in Frankfurt die Zeit dazu fanden.
Trier ist Deutschlands älteste Stadt und blickt auf eine mehr als 2000-jährige Geschichte zurück. Speziell die Römer haben sehenswerte Spuren in dieser Stadt hinterlassen, nachdem Konstantin der Große Trier zeitweise zu seinem Regierungssitz erkoren hatte.
Unseren Rundgang beginnen wir auf dem Petrisberg, von wo aus man einen herrlichen Panoramablick über die Stadt hat.
Besonders der Trierer Dom und die Konstantinbasilika, Konstantins ehemaliger Thronsaal, stechen hervor. Man sieht von hier aus aber auch die Porta Nigra, das einstige Stadttor, die Kaiserthermen und das römische Amphitheater. Alle diese Bauwerke zählen zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe.
In südlicher Richtung ist die Basilika St. Matthias zu erkennen. Hier soll angeblich der Apostel Matthias beerdigt sein.
Nachdem wir einen ersten Überblick gegeben haben, begeben wir uns in das Zentrum der Stadt, doch am Marktplatz ereilt uns ein Regenschauer, sodass wir beschließen den Rundgang in das Innere der Kirchen Triers zu verlegen.
Wir beginnen im Trierer Dom, der den „heiligen Rock“ beherbergt und gehen weiter in die Liebfrauenkirche. Da es noch immer leicht regnet, schließen wir die Konstantinbasilika gleich an. Der beeindruckende Innenraum ist 27,2 m breit, 33 m hoch und 67 m lang, mit der Eingangshalle sogar 75. Es ist der größte noch existierende Einzelraum der Antike. Heute dient die Konstantinbasilika als evangelisch Kirche dient. 2014 wurde sie mit einer zweiten neuen Orgel mit 82 Registern (mehr als 6000 Pfeifen) ausgestattet.
