Underworlds Festival 'Trierer Unterwelten'

The underworlds of Trier are spread all over the city center and so complex and thrilling that one world is not enough. They are made up of cellars and catacombs, tunnels and basements, excavation sites, garages, and crypts. These places offer the perfect settings for a stunning cultural experience of its own: from exhibitions, theatre, concerts, culinary arts, to guided tours and lectures.

What are the Trier Underworlds?
The “Trier Underworlds” are a state project with which the city of Trier, as one of two cities in 2018, launched the profiling competition “Culture | Regionality | Tourism ”from the Rhineland-Palatinate Ministry of Economics. The “Trier Underworlds” were able to convince the jury with their innovation and authenticity.

During this period, visitors can expect a varied program of guided tours, theater productions, art exhibitions, readings, cinema screenings, concerts and culinary delights as well as a separate children's program as part of the festival.
Tickets and the entire programme will be available (in German) at trierer-unterwelten.de.
