Trier - French Military training area, Military training area in Trier, Germany
The training area in Trier is a military facility that France established for exercises and tactical preparation. It comprises multiple training zones with infrastructure for soldier preparation and remains partially operational.
After 1945, France established this site as a military base to maintain its presence in occupied territory. The area documents the shift from occupying power to ally within the emerging European community.
The training area represents how military cooperation between France and Germany developed after decades of conflict. Visitors can see today how this practical partnership reflects a broader European connection.
Access is restricted and usually requires advance permission since the site remains in military use. Visitors should check whether guided tours or visits are possible and expect signage in German or French.
The site preserves traces from different military eras, showing how warfare and training methods changed over decades. These layers of military history remain visible in the preserved structures and training facilities.
