The Abbey of St. Martin was a monastery complex in Trier, probably built in the 6th century. It is said to go back from a church built by Martin of Tours in the 4th century. By the 10th century at the latest, the abbey was occupied by monks of the Benedictine order, it was once one of the largest abbeys in the city and was abolished in 1802 under Napoleonic rule. The abbey was located in the immediate vicinity of the banks of the Moselle, in the northwest of Trier's city centre; the street running along the still preserved buildings is now called Martinsufer.

Between the Middle Ages and the 20th century, three Jewish cemeteries were established in Trier. Only a few gravestones have been preserved from the medieval cemetery. Between 1620 and 1650, the Jewish cemetery was established in Weidegasse. It is located in Trier-Süd in the street junction between Gilbertstraße and Weidegasse. More than 500 gravestones have been preserved; among the most important graves are those of Mordechai Halevi ben Shmuel Postelberg and Abraham Moshe ben Heschel Lvov, the grandfather and great-grandfather of Karl Marx. After the cemetery could no longer be expanded, it was closed in 1922. Since this year, the Jewish community has been using a section in Trier's main cemetery.

Nells Park is a 95,000 m² park on the lower Avelsbach in Trier. It was created by the canon at St. Paulin Abbey, Nikolaus Nell. Between 1792 and 1793, he bought the swampy lands from the Teutonic Order and drained them to create the park. The park in the early romantic Anglo-Dutch style was completed in 1801. In 1861, a neoclassical mansion was built, which now houses the Hotel Nells Park. In 1940, the park was acquired by the city of Trier and expanded during the war years. An expansion of the water areas also served to provide extinguishing water for the nearby provisions office at the time. In honour of the rose breeder Peter Lambert, a rose garden was created in Nells Park in 1958 under horticultural director Gottfried Rettig.
