TRIER UNIVERSITY
Trier University – first founded in 1473, closed again in 1798 under French occupation, and opened anew in 1970 – is situated at the top of a hill a short distance from the city of Trier itself. Being the oldest city in Germany, Trier stands out in its aesthetic, a merging of the modern and the ancient, as evidenced in one of its tourist gems, the famous Porta Nigra.
