Zusammenfassung:	Hitherto, the borrowing of gothic architectural ideas from France in the Holy Roman Empire has been specifically studied only in the case of religious buildings, while in the case of secular architecture any examinations of such influences have been rudimentary; moreover, there has been little consideration in any context of the wider cultural reception history. Most of the initiators of such borrowing belonged to the courtly nobility of their time. Many had received educations at French courts, or had studied in France, so that, for example, they had had the opportunity to witness the development of new types of architecture and new styles under King Philip II. Many kinds of cultural impact of this can be found concentrated around Trier and Cologne. The Archbishop of Cologne Konrad von Hochstaden not only supported the building of the Church of Our Lady in Trier and laid the foundation stone of Cologne Cathedral but it was also under him that French architectural styles were adopted for the fortifications of Cologne and other cities, as well as for the great tower of his Godesburg Castle and other castles. Other examples can be found around Trier. The whole region features a number of places, including castles, with French names. It was in the Trier region that a French novel ('Alexander') was first translated. There are records of literary interests being pursued not only at secular courts but also at the court of the Archbishop. On the Rhine, a light meal was known as a 'pittit mangier'. The initiators of the transfer of cultural elements were members of the secular and religious upper classes who maintained contact with one another, but, in order for the resulting buildings to be constructed, architects were also needed who had gained experience in France.
