filter_dramaLearnTrier hosts a University [url=http://www.uni-trier.de]]as well as a University of Applied Sciences [http://www.fh-trier.de[/url] (the so-called Fachhochschule).
The Fachhochschule is in sight of the city. The first buildings were built in 1944 and were used by the Nazis to educate the next generation of soldiers. After the war, the complex was not officially used as a school. In the 1970's the university of Trier was re-opened and used the buildings, until a new university complex was built on the other side of the Mosel valley. Since then the Fachhochschule is using the complex. -

Mid-range
Very welcoming hotel, based in the Olewig area of Trier, has its own brewery on site. Rooms are well maintained, staff were friendly & helpful. About 1.5 miles outside of the city centre.
* Around the corner from Porta Nigra, this is a solid 3-star hotel with vaguely Italian-style rooms and a sunny roofed garden for breakfast.
* About 2 miles out of Trier, easily accessible by bus, and as the name suggests, within a park. All rooms are individually decorated and in varying states of renovation (ask for a new one). Parking was a bit tight, but plenty of parking on the road next to the hotel. Excellent food too.
