| On the second day of their 3 day working visit to Germany, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima arrived at Porta Nigra in Trier. The city gate, which dates from Roman times, is the symbol of Trier. Then, the King and Queen visited the Cathedral of St Peter and Church of Our Lady. In 2018 Trier is celebrating the bicentenary of Karl Marx, who was born in the city in 1818. The royal couple visited an exhibition on the life and work of Marx at the Trier Landesmuseum. Marx developed his ideas in the nineteenth century at the time heavy industry was developing. |
