I have moved on to my other friends near Trier now and we are roaming through the city. Someone mentioned that the Porta Nigra, an ancient city gate in Trier back from the roman days, is the oldest building in Germany. I pick up a few tourist guide books and booklets at a bookstore but I cannot find any reference with regard to this.
The Liebfrauenkirche, a huge Gothic church, is impressive. It is so massive, you can get an 1h guided tour and you probably will still know only half of it. What I find much more fascinating though is the Konstantinbasilika. It is just one really big hall of simple geometry and with little decoration, which makes being in there quite a different experience compared to other churches.
