The Abbey of St. Martin was a monastery complex in Trier that was probably built in the 6th century. It is said to go back to a church built by Martin of Tours in the 4th century. By the 10th century at the latest, the abbey was occupied by monks of the Benedictine order. It was once one of the largest abbeys in the city and was closed in 1802 under Napoleonic rule. The abbey was located in the immediate vicinity of the banks of the Moselle, in the northwest of Trier's city center; The street that runs along the remaining buildings is now called Martinsufer.
The preserved west wing of the abbey building and a modern new building are now used as one of Trier's six student residences under the name "Martinskloster". This new building was demolished again in 2020 and replaced by another new building in the next few years.
