Historic city near Germany's border with Luxembourg (5)

I believe the answer is:

trier

(Other definitions for trier that I've seen before include "One making an attempt" , "place in Germany" , "One who doesn't give up - judge?" , "Persistent type" , "European city" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
