Trier Cathedral is Germany's oldest cathedral, built between 310 and 320 in the time of Constantine the Great (306-337). The first cathedral in the 4th century was destroyed by the Franks, and a further destruction took place in 882 during Viking raids in the Rhineland. The most important building phases that followed were in the 10th century (under Bishop Egbert), in the 13th century (for the interior of the cathedral), from the 14th to the 16th century (for the exterior). Restorations were undertaken in the 19th century, to restore it to its medieval appearance, and after the Second World War. Since 1986, Trier Cathedral has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The synagogue of Trieste, built between 1908 and 1912, is one of the largest buildings of Jewish worship in Europe. Prior to the construction of this building, the Jews of Trieste worshipped in four small synagogues located in the Jewish ghetto. With the advent of fascism from 1922 the synagogue was closed. Later, during the Second World War and with the German occupation of Trieste, the temple was reduced to a repository for books and works of art stolen by the Nazis.

The exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown, but it can be assumed that it emerged in the 16th century. In the 1920s, the community maintained 2 synagogues, a school, 2 welfare organizations, and a theatre company. The Jewish population in 1940 was 520. By WWII, only one-quarter of the Jewish population remained. Many were deported to the death camps. A small community was reestablished after the war.
