Tempel am Herrenbrünnchen

The Herrenbrünnchen Temple complex spans over 65 meters in length and 23 meters in width, featuring massive foundation walls reaching 4.10 meters thick.

Excavations between 1909 and 1910 at the Charlottenau vineyard revealed architectural fragments from the late first century and remains of a monumental podium temple.

The temple structure included six columns, each reaching 15 meters in height, displaying architectural similarities to the Maison Carrée temple in Nîmes, France.

The temple foundations now lie beneath private residential gardens, with only an information sign marking the location of this ancient Roman structure.

Limestone capitals discovered in the Trier Cathedral might originate from this temple, as no other similar monumental temples existed within the city limits.
