Trier is a very beautiful city. Like you already said it's the oldest one in Germany. Walking through the 2000 year old structures always fascinated me. Seeing and touching the stone that has been there for 2 millennia is simply amazing. It also makes me wonder what we will leave behind for the next 2000 years. Sadly nothing that impressive ...
The covered walkway around the courtyard is a cloister which is a covered passage on the side of a court usually having one side walled and the other an open arcade or colonnade The courtyard is surrounded with a cloister.
Excerpt from the name analysis of the surname Winkler: The surname Winkler is, like most surnames, a professional or professional name. Belonging to a (professional) state played a prominent role in former times. Therefore, it was of primary social importance to pass on this status designation as -quasi-family names to the descendants. An Winkler was someone called in place of the carpenter, blacksmith, or stonemason, if the work of the same was not necessary, "because that can also make the winckler." In its earliest documented form, Winkeler appears in family names from Basel (1283, 1288) and in Wroclaw (mhd. Namenbuch, 1366). Otherwise, this original form of the name Winkler found only in the Low German or Lower Rhine and living in northern Germany. "Winkler" also called itself a religious sect, which gathered in Strasbourg at the beginning of the 15th century. Here the name "Winkler" referred to the Alsatian and Styrian "Winkeladvokat", that is, someone who carries out the legal transactions of others without authority. Winkler as a derivative of angle and in the sense of junk shop, means Kramer. (As well as in accordance with the Dutch "Winkelier".) Winkler is also called the artist who uses very angular and stiff geometric shapes (So on flourishes and omissions omit anything); As a term for 'novice' in some Masonic lodges "Winkler" is used as well as the angles are known to us as rank insignia in the military or similar organizations. The more angle, the higher the rank. But we come back to the job title Winkler, which is the cause of your name. As a designer of bridges, walkways or fences without an artistic aspect, the Winkler was called while the fine, representative bridges were designed and built by the art architect. An entry in the Baumeisterbuch der Stadt Nürnberg testifies to this: "So should the stat paumeister make the webs pei the winckler on the ledergassen on the troughs even (So the city master builders will let the jetties on the gutters, made by the Winkler on the Ledergasse) An Winkler had so partially very similar tasks as a z. Carpenter, however, was not forced to pay attention to the beauty and grace of his work, but to focus only on the usefulness and expediency of his work. A craft that renounced all flourishes and ornaments.
If the romans were good at something, it sure was building stuff. The aquaeducts, the thermes, the limes all this stuff is crazy and I don't even began talking about the collosseum or their tunnels that perfectly met after going through mountains. Just plain crazy
Great video. Btw, sorry for delay in leaving comments. We had the "Carr Fire" here, I was evacuated on Thursday night, and got home Monday. All is good in my neighborhood. Just catching up on videos today.
You are doing a lot of cultural things which I think is great. The porta nigra is probably the oldest building on German soil. (not sure though). It was started in the year 170 by the Romans. I only was once in Trier for business and just passed by the porta nigra in a car.. I am surprised how beautiful the city is.
We had such a good time. We’d only ever been to Trier once for a Christmas market but it was so cold we didn’t stay long 😅 so glad we went back to explore.
Can't tell if serious or not... :D Well, considering that 100 billion people died on this planet, and only 7 billion living now, there should be nothing but streaks in every photo album, if every dead person left a spirit. Yet somehow, they're rare, and easily explained by light hitting the developing film in that area. You know, reality is even cooler than spirits. All those 100 billion people turned back into soil, from which there grew vegetation, and even fruits and vegetables and everything growing out of the ground that we eat today.
Oh, so you were serious? In this case, as i can't discuss with you using logic and rational thinking, i rather keep quiet, haha... or let's say this: There are no spirits, period. Prove me wrong, using reproducible science, which does not include streaks on photos which occur from light hitting the film (unless spirits produce light, in which case we would also see it with our eyes).
Spirits producing light = manifestations, which millions of people report seeing all the time. We are both allowed to have our own views and have discussions in a civilized manner. P.S. Not all light is visible to the human eye.
Hundreds of thousands of people believe in spirits. And multiple Gods. And so many other things that may not make sense to one person, that doesn’t mean it’s wrong. Agree to disagree.

Definitely nothing this cool!

Great vlog! I really like old churches and monasteries a lot. :)
Thank you!

One of the best cities in Germany!
I’ll be going back today actually 🙂

Yes!!! I was so impressed by how well some of it still looked with little reinforcements from later years. 😍
Great video. Btw, sorry for delay in leaving comments. We had the "Carr Fire" here, I was evacuated on Thursday night, and got home Monday. All is good in my neighborhood. Just catching up on videos today.
Oh no! Glad you're all ok! No worries! Thanks for always coming back!

You should try to go on those Alpine slides in Germany if you find one..and vlog it..
Such a beautiful place and we've never even heard of it! Where did you first hear of Trier? How was it exploring it?
We live here in Germany, we're only about an hour from Trier. It's the oldest city in Germany. It was incredible!
those bones are usually from saints. Reliquary is what it is called.
😳😳😳 that’s mortifying
they did it for thousands of years. If you think thats gross go to the Catacombs in Paris. That's scary
and interesting.
Mary Sterck - yes, that is correct. Bones (usually), hair, or square piece of cloth from clothing or shroud are also relics of Saints.
between the churches here in Germany and in Italy I have seen my share of relics. I think that they are rather interesting
I don't think it's gross, it's just very daunting. Such an eerie feeling.
Hey that’s where I live 😃 hope u liked your visit here
Are you still here this weekend? There is a wine festival coming up with fireworks on Saturday :-) many things around you should check out.
That's awesome! Unfortunately we're not, we're only an hour or so from Trier but my husband works all this weekend.
What you saw is called a „Kanzel“. In older times the priest stood there and spoke to the audience.
I was just about to say that.
Instead of standing at the front of the room?
That's right and in English it's called a "pulpit"
Yes, you will see them in all the big catherals here. I always thought the same till I visited the Dom in Aachen and they explained it.
Project Wink Yes, it is built to make sure evryone could hear it.
That part at 1.38 ,were you in Mülheim?
We were going over the bridge to Trier.
churches ... coldest place in germany atm :)
I think it was Trier that have the highest church in the world ? Or am i wrong ?
I’m not sure about that but I know it’s the oldest church in Germany.
The highest church tower is in Ulm.
Just to let you know - TRIER is the oldest city in Germany !
You know sometimes spirits show up as streaks on photo film.

Not necessarily. If the spirit is not attached to an area for some reason, you may never get a streak.
