Neugestaltung Römerbrücke Trier und Umgebung
Internationaler Wettbewerb 2013 - Anerkennung
Architekturentwurf Brücke: Klaus E. Krauss/ Entwurf Städtebau: Rolf Teloh, urban essences, Berlin
mit Landschaftsplanung Lützow 7, C. Müller J. Wehberg, Landschaftsarchitekten, Berlin
Auszug aus dem Erläuterungstext:
" Wir schlagen vor, im Zuge der Umwandlung der Römerbrücke und ihres Umfeldes auch sämtliche historische Schätze Triers in einen völlig neuen Zusammenhang zu stellen und mit den neu erschlossenen, hochattraktiven Räumen an der Mosel zu einem einzigartigen Stadt- und Landschaftsraum zu vereinen. Die Stadt (…) erhält ihr stadtgeschichtliches Herz zurück, indem die
ursprünglich römischen Hauptachsen (…) in einer völlig neuen Wertigkeit erstrahlen und wieder zum zentralen Orientierungs- und
Identifikationsmerkmal der Stadt werden (…)
Mosel-Park und Mosel-Platz: Die zukünftige Verschiebung des Schwerpunktes der inneren Stadt führt auch bei der Gestaltgebung der innerstädtischen Moselufer zu einer neuen Raumdefinition, bei der die Römerbrücke von Irminen- und Barbarasteg in die Mitte genommen wird (…)
Während der Bereich südlich der Römerbrücke mit Kies-Strand und locker verteilten Grünelemeten eher die Erholungsfunktion betont („Mosel-Park“), ist der Bereich nördlich der Römerbrücke mit Freizeithafen, Gastronomie und Baumalleen tendenziell urban charakterisiert („Mosel-Platz“)."
Römerbrücke.
Statt der heute banal erscheinenden Brüstungselemente und Straßenlaternen wird eine minimalistische Glasbrüstung vorgeschlagen, die mittels energiesparender und flexibel steuerbarer LED-Technik sowohl den Raum auf der Brücke als auch die Ansichten der Brücke im Norden und Süden ausleuchtet. Die neue, minimalistische Art der Beleuchtung kann entsprechend auch auf die anderen Weltkulturerbe-Stätten der Stadt übertragen werden und schafft so wieder einen sichtbaren Zusammenhang dieser Orte - auch in den Nachtstunden.

"Cage cup", or a diatretum – a luxury late Roman glass vessel, found from roughly the 4th century. Today, some 60 fragmentary diatreta are known today, 19 of which are almost complete. This piece, was found in 1950 in the sarcophagus in Niederemmel, near Trier, Germany.
Diatreta consist of an inner beaker and an outer cage that stands out from the body of the cup, to which it is attached by short stems. This exemplar is part of the Trier Landesmuseum permanent collection.
The manufacturing technique must have been laborious, but it's still a mystery: either the inner beaker and the cage were made separately and heat-soldered, or the whole assembly was chiselled from a single block of glass.
The majority of finds of diatreta are from Roman sites along the Rhine, suggesting that they were produced in the area, perhaps at Trier. This was the largest city of Roman Germany and the main residence of Constantine I for many years, coinciding with the period when the cups seem to have been made.

Good Morning Moon
Image Credit & Copyright: Michael Luy, Trier Observatory, TWAN
Explanation: Yesterday, the Moon was New. But on January 9, early morning risers around planet Earth were treated to the sight of an old Moon, low in the east as the sky grew bright before dawn. Above the city of Saarburg in Rhineland-Palatinate, western Germany, this simple snapshot found the waning Moon's sunlit crescent just before sunrise. But also never wandering far from the Sun in Earth's sky, inner planets Venus and Mercury shared the cold morning skyview. In the foreground are the historic city's tower and castle with ruins from the 10th century.

Coins of Laelian and Marius
Incredibly rare aureus of Laelian, reverse depicts the personification of Hispania. It is presumed from this coin that Laelian belonged to the Ulpii family, a very famous noble family from Hispania.
Laelian, the usurper who tried to usurp a usurper. He led a revolt against Postumus stationed at Moguntiacum (presumably where this coin was minted) for a few months before he was executed by either his own troops or by Postumus's troops after his siege of Moguntiacum.
Laelian wasn't the only Gallic emperor to die at Moguntiacum, as after Postumus's siege was concluded, he forbid his troops from looting the city. This was a terrible decision that proved to be Fatal, and Postumus was killed by his own men in favor of a man named Marius.
Antoninianus of Marius, reverse stolen from Laelians Antoniniani
Marius is a guy who we know pretty much nothing about. We know he probably let Postumus's men sack Moguntiacum and then moved to Trier for a few months before being fucked over by Victorinus.
Is what i would say if we didnt have the completely infallible and historically accurate masterpiece called the "Historia Augusta" to give us the truth about marius.
From the Historia Augusta we learn that Marius was a blacksmith who could knock out someone and thrust back oncoming wagons using only one finger. He rose through the ranks of the gallic army to eventually become emperor after the siege of Moguntiacum, from then he would rule only 3 days before being stabbed by one of his soldiers/smiths who was mad about how he was treated during his time at Marius's workshop. The sword used to kill Marius is said to be one he made himself.
Antoninianus of Marius, with a reverse notably used under Nerva and Pupienus/Balbinus.
