About the Kulturdatenbank
The Trier region is one of the most historic regions in Europe: prehistoric menhirs, monumental Roman buildings, medieval castles and towns, magnificent Baroque buildings, wine villages and wine estates, many technical monuments and testimonies of the once flourishing Jewish culture of the Trier region are waiting for you to visit them.
The aim of the database is to record all architectural monuments, technical monuments, natural monuments, deserted settlements and museums in the city of Trier and the districts of Bernkastel-Wittlich, Trier-Saarburg, Vulkaneifel and the Eifelkreis Bitburg-Prüm.
The Kulturdatenbank is a purely private website run by volunteers and pursues exclusively non-commercial purposes.
The Kulturdatenbank also contains several entries on buildings constructed during the period of National Socialist tyranny. They are silent witnesses to the catastrophic consequences of nationalist megalomania and of intolerance and violence towards dissenters, foreigners and national minorities. In this context, the authors of the Kulturdatenbank expressly distance themselves from any kind of revival of National Socialist ideology.
