Porte des Allemands

Highlight • Historical Site

The German Gate (French Porte des Allemands) is located in the French city of Metz, Lorraine. The gate, the only one of 17 medieval city gates of the Metzer city wall has been preserved, was named after the adjacent former hospital of the Teutonic Order, which was set up around 1210 near the church of St. Eucharius (Saint-Eucaire). The name would therefore also be translated with Deutschherrentor. The Torburg formed the main entrance to the city of Metz from the east.

Place Saint Louis

Highlight • Settlement

Also striking about the square are the arcades on the ground floor, which have existed since the Middle Ages. This creates a gallery that lines the square on both sides. Within these, various catering establishments and shops are still located today.

Metz Cathedral

Highlight • Other

The Saint-Étienne Cathedral (German: St. Stephen's Cathedral) in Metz in Lorraine was built between 1220 and 1520 and is considered one of the most beautiful and largest Gothic church buildings in France. With a vault height of more than 41 meters, it has the third highest interior after the cathedrals of Amiens and Beauvais; the area of its stained glass is around 6500 m², the largest in a French cathedral, hence the name La lanterne du Bon Dieu - English: "The Lantern of the Good Lord". It is therefore also one of the masterpieces of the Gothique Rayonnant. It is the episcopal church of the diocese of Metz. Since 1930, the cathedral has been classified as a monument historique (cultural monument) and protected.

Porte des Allemands and Metz Cathedral

Highlight • Historical Site

Metz was (like many of his neighbors in the Alsace-Lorraine region) at the mercy of the border regions. Metz changed several times his affiliation between the German and French empires. Until 1918 it still belonged to the German Empire, which is still recognizable in many buildings in the city and leads to a diversity in architecture. The train station is the best example of German architecture. Metz therefore offers you a beautiful old town center, a gothic cathedral that ranks among the highest in Europe, long Mosel promenades overlooking the architectural features of the city, museums and much more.

Former railway station water tower

Highlight • Structure

This water tower was built in the German, imperial period, and it's quite a sight - no wonder they call it the water castle! It forms a nice ensemble with the nearby train station, in the same style.

Always against the wind today.💨💨💨 It wasn't my day. Cramps again and again from the middle of the tour. Get off and stretch your muscles. Saddle was not properly adjusted. A tight centimeter up and it went better. Driving smaller gears against the wind and finally arrived. ✌️
Hunger. Go eat something delicious.
