A photo of the Porta Nigra, a massive Roman city gate in Trier. Constructed of sandstone blocks, featuring two large cylindrical towers with multiple arched windows and passageways. The weathered structure stands prominently in a modern urban setting, surrounded by buildings. Sunlight casts shadows on the stone facade, highlighting its intricate details and imposing presence.

The Porta Nigra in Trier is the best preserved Roman city gate North of the Alps. It was built around 170 AD and converted into a church in the Middle Ages.
The Porta Nigra was restored to its original state in 1804 at Napoleon's behest.

Dies und die politisch motivierte Abwicklung des Programms Demokratie leben ist genau das Gegenteil, von dem, was wir derzeit brauchen. So wollen wir doch als offene, inklusive, demokratische Gesellschaft nicht sein.

Die Schlichtheit, Ignoranz und Wissenschaftsfeindlichkeit der AfD ist so vorhersehbar! Es ist ein Elend.

Eye-rolling.
