Amazing to see Roman ruins in the middle of Germany!

The Baths are ruins, which is good to keep on your mind while visiting. There is a lot of scaffoldings and fences, therefore nothing much to see and view are often blocked by the constructions, although climbing the two stories tower at the north-east corner gives a great panoramic overview of the Baths and a printed visualization shows how would they look like if fully built (The Baths were never completed).

The highlight was to walk through the underground tunnels that are spread everywhere, some of them dead-end, others passable. Around the complex some information boards can be found which were actually very informative and interesting (i.e.: how was the water transported or heated) however the folded mini brochure (English version available), which was loaded with information and with a map of the complex, proved to be very useful!

There was no audio guide unfortunately, however at the entrance lobby a very interesting video was shown about how the Baths looked throughout centuries. Entry price of 4€ seemed adequate, but if you want to visit more Roman sites in Trier, better purchase the combined ticket. Restrooms available at the entrance lobby.

It was a pleasant visit but there are definitely more interesting places to see in Trier!

The Kaiserthermen site is really a must see. The site is more extensive than we imagined so carve out a couple hours for it. To enter costs about 5 euro and there are several sections to see. The first area is the visitor’s center which has a 3-d model and a short film about the site that helps you to see it as it must have been in its heyday. The next section to see is the tower from which you can see the whole complex. It is three levels with an elevator or stairs. The next part is the above ground section. An active archeological dig is going on so you can see that progress and there is very interesting interpretive signage in German and English. The ground is mostly grass and packed dirt so it’s not smooth but still accessible. The last section to see is the underground area which is like a maze—so fun! It is accessed only by stairs. Once below, there are open skylights but also harsh shadows so you might want to bring a small flashlight. There are many passageways and rooms but only a little signage. We went on a weekday in September and only saw a couple other people...

Eifel Info

De Keizerlijke Thermen in Trier

 Eifel Info

De keizerlijke thermen in Trier zijn een mooie en indrukwekkende bezienswaardigheid in de Eifel in Duitsland.

Zoals we al in eerdere artikelen schreven is Trier in de Eifel, de oudste stad van Duitsland, rijk aan mooie historische gebouwen uit de romeinse tijd. Ook de keizerlijke thermen is een prachtig historisch bouwwerk dat u zeker moet gaan bekijken wanneer u in de Eifel een bezoek aan Trier brengt.

Wil je alles weten over Trier, zoals de bezienswaardigheden, winkelen, eten & drinken, parkeren, overnachten en nog veel meer,  lees dan ook ons artikel: Trier. Alle info over de oudste stad van Duitsland.

De keizerlijke thermen in Trier is één van de drie badcomplexen in Trier uit het Romeinse Rijk en tevens de jongste en één van de grootste. De thermen staan ook op de werelderfgoedlijst van Unesco.

De keizerlijke thermen werden rond 300 na Chr. gebouwd door de Romeinen. Het badcomplex bestond uit drie lagen. Op de eerste (onderste) verdieping werd het hele verwarmingssysteem aangelegd. Dit systeem bestond uit stookplaatsen waar het water werd verwarmd dat door een stelsel van buizen werd gevoerd om de baden te kunnen verwarmen. Van de oorspronkelijke zes ketelruimten zijn er nog vier te zien. Het werk hier werd uitgevoerd door slaven.

Op de de tweede laag van het complex was een systeem om het water warm te kunnen houden. Het water werd verwarmd tot ongeveer 40 graden. De romeinen hebben zelfs al een vloerwarming aangelegd om het water warm te houden en de ruimtes te verwarmen. Voor die tijd een knap staaltje techniek.

De eerste twee lagen van het Keizerthermen complex zijn het beste bewaard gebleven door de eeuwen heen.

Op de derde laag van het Thermen complex zat het daadwerkelijke badhuis of badhuizen.   Hier waren de warm-, lauw-, en koudwaterbaden, de massageruimtes, zwembaden en kleedruimtes. Deze ruimtes waren fraai versierd met beschilderingen, mozaïek tegels en beeldhouwwerken.

Eigenlijk zijn de Keizerthermen in Trier nooit echt gebruikt voor het doel dat keizer Constantijn II voor ogen had. Hij vertrok halverwege de 4e eeuw uit Trier en schonk het complex aan de bevolking. In de middeleeuwen dienden de muren van de keizerlijke thermen als onderdeel van de stadsmuur om Trier. En net als bij veel andere oude romeinse gebouwen, werden in en na de middeleeuwen veel stenen van de complexen gebruikt voor nieuwbouw elders.

Wanneer u in de Eifel in Trier bent is een bezoek aan de keizerlijke thermen zeer de moeite waard. Ga terug in de tijd en beeld u in hoe hier eens de warmwaterbaden stoomden.

Praktische informatie:

Openingstijden: april – september: dagelijks 9 – 18 uur. oktober en maart: dagelijks 9 – 17 uur. november – februari: dagelijks 9 – 16 uur.

Entreeprijzen: Volwassenen: € 3,- Kinderen/jongeren (t/m 17 jaar): € 1,50
