The University of Trier is one of Rhineland-Palatinate"s oldest and – at the same time – youngest universities. A University of Trier was first founded in 1473, but like other German universities located west of the Rhine it was closed by Napoleon in 1798. Trier, Germany"s oldest city, can today call itself a university town again, however.
In 1970, a new university was founded in Tri...er – initially, until 1975, with the University of Kaiserslautern as a twin institution. Since then, Trier has been developing into a major academic centre in a region characterized by its proximity to Belgium, France and Luxembourg.
The Seal of Trier University dates from the year 1473 and shows on the upper side the both bishops Ambrosius and Augustinus and between them the apostle Paulus, often chosen as teaching apostle by many universities.
The inscription underneath the figures says: „S(igillum) almi studii treverens (is)“ = „Seal of the academic studies in Trier".
The both hatchments on the left and on the right side of the inscription show the emblem of the former arch bishop Johann II. of Baden and the city arms of Trier.
Around the figures on the edge of the seal there is an inscription what says: „Treveris ex urbe deus complet dona sophie (ae).“ = „In Trier god completes the gifts of wisdom", a very pride and hopeful dictum.
With its 13,000 students Trier University embraces contrast: young, yet true to tradition; internationally oriented and regionally rooted; on the geographic edge of Germany, but in the heart of Europe.
