St.
Peter's
Cathedral
(Hohe
Domkirche
St.
Peter
zu
Trier)
or
Trier
Cathedral
(Trierer
Dom)
is
the
oldest
church
in
Germany.
The
central
part
of
the
nave
of
the
church
was
built
of
Roman
bricks
at
the
beginning
of
the
4th
century.
The
imposing
Romanesque
westwork
with
4
towers
and
an
apse
was
often
copied
during
the
construction
of
other
churches
in
this
part
of
Europe.
The
church
was
included
in
the
UNESCO
World
Heritage
List
in
1986.
According
to
some
sources,
the
construction
of
the
cathedral
was
ordered
by
Emperor
Constantine
the
Great,
and
it
was
built
on
the
top
of
the
palace
of
his
mother
St.
Helena.
Bishop
Maximinus
(329-346)
supervised
the
construction
of
this,
at
that
time,
the
largest
religious
building
in
the
west
outside
Rome.
The
French
left
this
church
from
the
4th
century
in
ruins,
but
it
was
rebuilt.
The
church
was
demolished
again
by
the
Vikings
in
882,
but
the
restoration
began
during
the
time
of
Archbishop
Egbert
(around
993)
and
was
completed
during
the
time
of
Archbishop
Pop
of
Babenbeg
(1016-1041).
The
famous
western
façade
dates
from
this
period,
although
the
apse
was
not
completed
until
1196.
On
the
northern
facade
of
the
church,
you
can
see
a
large
part
made
of
Roman
bricks.
The
construction
of
the
imposing
Westwork,
consisting
of
5
symmetrical
parts
typical
of
Romanesque
architecture
during
the
reign
of
the
emperors
of
the
Salian
dynasty
(11th
century),
began
during
the
time
of
Archbishop
Pop
of
Babenberg
(1010-1047)
and
was
completed
during
the
time
of
Archbishop
Eberhard.
1066).
Its
4
towers
are
more
or
less
symmetrically
arranged
around
the
western
apse.
The
inscription
in
Latin
above
the
clock
on
the
highest
tower
reads:
"NESCITIS
QVA
HORA
DOMINVS
VENIET"
("You
do
not
know
at
what
time
the
Lord
will
come").
The
eastern
presbytery
is
less
emphasized
both
because
of
its
location
and
because
of
the
chapel
of
the
Holy
Tunic,
which
was
added
to
the
church
at
the
beginning
of
the
18th
century.
The
interior
of
the
church
has
dimensions
of
112.5x41
m
and
consists
of
3
large
Romanesque
naves
with
Gothic
vaults.
The
original
Roman
structure
is
difficult
to
see
today,
but
its
regular
rectangular
shape
can
be
recognized
in
the
appearance
of
the
3
easternmost
parts
of
the
nave.
The
original
4
pillars
from
the
Roman
period
were
used
again
in
the
11th
century
when
they
were
changed
into
cross
pillars.
The
Baroque
chapel
for
the
relic
of
Jesus'
seamless
tunic,
which
was
made
from
the
former
main
altar
of
the
church
in
1512,
was
added
behind
the
eastern
presbytery
and
is
visible
through
an
opening
in
the
wall.
The
western
presbytery
is
also
decorated
in
the
style
of
the
German
Baroque,
as
well
as
the
chapel
of
the
Virgin
and
the
Holy
Mysteries
(with
the
"Golden
Gate",
part
of
the
former
altar
partition),
and
most
of
the
altars
in
the
church.
The
Romanesque
gable
shows
Jesus
Christ
with
the
Mother
of
God
and
Saint
Peter.
The
main
organ
of
the
church
looks
antique,
but
it
was
erected
only
in
1974.
(Original)
Katedrala
Svetog
Petra
(Hohe
Domkirche
St.
Peter
zu
Trier)
ili
Katedrala
Trira
(Trierer
Dom)
je
najstarija
crkva
u
Nemačkoj.
Centralni
deo
broda
crkve
je
izgrađen
od
rimske
opeke
početkom
IV
veka.
Impozantni
romanički
vestverk
sa
4
kule
i
apsidom
je
često
kopiran
prilikom
izgradnje
drugih
crkava
u
ovom
delu
Evrope.
Crkva
je
1986.
uvrštena
na
UNESCO-vu
Listu
svetske
kulturne
baštine.
Prema
nekim
izvorima
izgradnju
katedrale
je
naručio
car
Konstantin
Veliki
i
ona
je
izgrađena
na
vrhu
palate
njegove
majke
Svete
Helene.
Biskup
Maksimin
(329-346)
je
rukovodio
radovima
na
izgradnji
ove,
u
to
vreme,
najveće
verske
građevine
na
zapadu
izvan
Rima.
Franci
su
ostavli
ovu
crkvu
iz
IV
veka
u
ruševinama,
ali
je
ona
ponovo
izgrađena.
Crkvu
su
ponovo
porušili
Vikinzi
882.,
ali
je
obnova
započeta
za
vreme
nadbiskupa
Egberta
(oko
993.),
a
završena
za
vreme
nadbiskupa
Popa
od
Babenbegra
(1016-1041).
Čuvena
zapadna
fasada
datira
iz
ovog
perioda,
premda
apsida
nije
završena
do
1196.
Na
severnoj
fasadi
crkve
se
vidi
veliki
deo
koji
je
urađen
od
rimske
opeke.
Izgradnja
impozantnog
vestverka,
koji
se
sastoji
od
5
simetričnih
delova
tipičnih
za
romaničku
arhitekturu
za
vreme
vladavine
careva
iz
Salijske
dinastije
(XI
vek),
je
započeta
za
vreme
nadbiskupa
Popa
od
Babenberga
(1010-1047),
a
završena
za
vreme
nadbiskupa
Eberharda
(1047-1066).
Njegove
4
kule
su
manje-više
raspoređene
simetrično
oko
zapadne
apside.
Natpis
na
latinskom
iznad
sata
na
najvišoj
kuli
glasi:
“NESCITIS
QVA
HORA
DOMINVS
VENIET” (“Ne
znate
u
koje
vreme
će
Gospod
doći”).
Istočni
prezviterijum
je
manje
naglašen
kako
zbog
svoje
lokacije,
tako
i
zbog
kapele
Svete
Tunike
koja
je
pridodata
crkvi
početkom
XVIII
veka.
Unutrašnjost
crkve
ima
dimenzije
112,5x41
m
i
sastoji
se
od
3
velika
romanička
broda
sa
gotičkim
svodovima.
Originalna
rimska
struktura
je
danas
teško
vidljiva,
ali
njena
pravilna
pravougaona
forma
može
da
se
prepozna
u
izgledu
3
najistočnija
dela
broda.
Originalna
4
stuba
iz
rimskog
perioda
su
ponovo
korišćena
u
XI
veku
kada
su
izmenjena
u
krstaste
stubove.
Barokna
kapela
za
relikviju
Isusove
bešavne
tunike
koja
je
napravljena
od
bivšeg
glavnog
oltara
crkve
1512.
je
dodata
iza
istočnog
prezviterijuma
i
vidljiva
je
kroz
otvor
u
zidu.
Zapadni
prezviterijum
je
takođe
ukrašen
u
stilu
nemačkog
baroka,
kao
i
kapele
Bogorodice
i
Svetih
Tajni
(sa
“Zlatnom
kapijom”,
delom
bivše
oltarske
pregrade),
i
većina
oltara
u
crkvi.
Na
romaničkom
zabatu
je
prikazan
Isus
Hrist
sa
Bogorodicom
i
Svetim
Petrom.
Glavne
orgulje
crkve
izgledaju
starinski,
ali
su
postavljene
tek
1974.
