Immediately adjacent to the Trier Cathedral is the earliest Gothic church in Germany, the Church of Our Lady, built in the 13th century.

The Church of Our Lady was already a few years in the construction, as Archbishop Theodoric of Wied ran out of funds. Then the Archbishop Konrad von Hochstaden resulted in 1243 in the diocese of Cologne, a collection of which enabled the continuation of the construction of Trier.

A special feature is the cross-shaped ground plan. In the cross arms are chapels an association of apses in whose center rises a central tower. An actual facade there is not; on the west portal a sort facade is merely built. In the tympanum you can see the beginning of the history of salvation, in the gable the completion by the crucifixion. The tympanum and the windows show the history of Abraham and Noah, the predictions of the prophets and the Annunciation. In the figures of the West Portal, however, are only copies, the originals are in the Museum am Dom.

The entrance to the church today is the north portal, known as "paradise". The Portal walls show symbolic plants. Inside the church initially impressed the slenderness of the columns. The original inventory has been almost completely destroyed. After the Second World War was set up as a piece of equipment altar island of Rudolf Schwarz.
