About Kürenz
What are the main landmarks in Kürenz?
Broadcasting shapes the view here. The Fernmeldeturm Trier-Petrisberg is the tallest structure in Kürenz, and the Transmitter Trier keeps it company on the same high ground above the city. Lower down sits the Franzensknüppchen.
Two parish churches complete the district's short list of named sites, and neither competes with the masts for attention.
What is the history of Kürenz?
Kürenz has two histories. The older one belongs to the parish churches and the settlement that grew around them before Trier's boundary reached out far enough to take Kürenz in as a district. The other is technical.
Masts went up on the high ground, and the Fernmeldeturm Trier-Petrisberg and the Transmitter Trier turned a quiet edge of the city into a transmission site.
Where is Kürenz?
Kürenz climbs. Close to six square kilometres of Trier fall inside the district, and the ground rises toward the Fernmeldeturm Trier-Petrisberg.
