Judengasse

The narrow Judengasse extends through the old town center, with its cobblestone path flanked by preserved medieval buildings and stone structures.

In 1349, the Jewish community of Trier, which included approximately 300 members under Archbishop Baldwin of Luxembourg, faced expulsion from their neighborhood.

The street layout and architectural elements of Judengasse reflect the medieval period when Jewish merchants and craftsmen conducted their daily business activities.

Visitors can reach Judengasse by entering through the Simeonstrasse entrance, where regular guided tours explain the street's historical significance.

Building number 2 on Judengasse stands as Germany's oldest preserved Jewish residence, constructed in the early 13th century.
