This evening we set out to find the home where Karl Marx was born. We are getting to know Trier really well! Here’s what we found.
It was interesting that some people we asked about where the house was told us he wasn’t really born here, but in a home by Porta Nigra, that now houses a trinket shop (that would make Marx turn over in his grave). Everything we saw here says this is his birth place.
We also happen upon some more stumbling blocks on this street. A solemn reminder of tragic days in these neighborhoods.
