Towards the end of the Holy Roman Empire, the city of Trier was home to numerous monasteries and other religious institutions. Not all of them survived its fall. After the closure of these institutions in 1802, most of the inventory from their various libraries was assigned to the then existing public library, which operated as the city library after 1804. Now, as a result of a re-cataloging project, this new catalog includes 2,600 titles in the form of 3,060 volumes. All of the items originate from institutions in Trier or were donated to the public library and not a single item was additionally purchased. For this reason, great emphasis has been placed on the determination of their provenance, which could in most cases be ascertained, therefore providing, along with the surviving titles themselves, important building blocks for a history of libraries and intellectual life in Trier.

English summary: Towards the end of the Holy Roman Empire, the city of Trier was home to numerous monasteries and other religious institutions. Not all of them survived its fall. After the closure of these institutions in 1802, most of the inventory from their various libraries was assigned to the then existing public library, which operated as the city library after 1804. Now, as a result of a re-cataloging project, this new catalog includes 2,600 titles in the form of 3,060 volumes. All of the items originate from institutions in Trier or were donated to the public library and not a single item was additionally purchased. For this reason, great emphasis has been placed on the determination of their provenance, which could in most cases be ascertained, therefore providing, along with the surviving titles themselves, important building blocks for a history of libraries and intellectual life in Trier. German description: Gegen Ende des Alten Reiches war Trier mit Klostern und anderen geistlichen Institutionen reich gesegnet. Nicht alle uberlebten das Ende des Reiches unbeschadet. Nach Kriegs- und Fluchtungsverlusten wurde manches als wertvoll erachtete Schriftgut fur ein geplantes Nationalmuseum in Paris requiriert, anderes gelangte auf den freien Markt und in die Hande von Sammlern. Der grosste Teil des Bibliotheksguts jedoch wurde nach der Auflosung der Institutionen im Jahre 1802 der damals bestehenden Offentlichen Bibliothek zugewiesen, die ab 1804 als Stadtbibliothek firmierte. Neben Zehntausenden jungeren Drucken gelangten auch ca. 2500 Handschriften und mehr als 4000 Inkunabeln in offentlichen Besitz, zwecks Finanzierung wurden aber im gesamten 19. Jahrhundert bis in die 30er Jahre des 20. Jahrhunderts hinein zahlreiche Dubletten verkauft, ohne auf deren unterschiedliche Provenienz, Bindung oder Ausstattung Rucksicht zu nehmen; etwa 1200 dieser Verkaufe konnten bislang bibliographisch ermittelt werden. Den Anstoss zu einer Neukatalogisierung gaben Kontakte zur Bayerischen Staatsbibliothek in Munchen, wo der Incunabula Short Title Catalogue (ISTC) fur Deutschland gefuhrt wird und zur Staatsbibliothek in Berlin, wo die Weiterfuhrung des Gesamtkatalogs der Wiegendrucke (GW) betrieben wird. Als Ergebnis kann nun ein Katalog prasentiert werden, der 2600 Titel in 3060 Exemplaren enthalt. Samtliche Exemplare stammen aus Trierer Institutionen oder wurden der Stadtbibliothek geschenkt, kein einziges Exemplar wurde hinzugekauft. Aus diesem Grund wurde grosser Wert auf die Ermittlung ihrer Provenienz gelegt, die in den meisten Fallen festgestellt werden konnte und daher – zusatzlich zu den tatsachlich noch vorhandenen Titeln – wichtige Bausteine fur eine Bibliotheks- und Geistesgeschichte von Trier bereithalt.
