Koblenz, a 2000-year-old Roman city in Germany, is located on the famous Deutsches Eck (German corner), between two famous rivers, the Rhine and the Moselle. The city has a lot of narrow, old lanes and alleyways surrounded by cultural monuments and historic buildings. It is also famous for its pretty River Rhine promenade.
The Deutsches Eck (German Corner) got its name in the 13th century after the Teutonic Order of Knights settled here at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle. The Kaiser Wilhelm monument stands here, serving as a memorial to German Unity from 1953 until the reunification in 1990.
This building dates from the end of the 12th century and is the church where the sons of Ludwig the Pious negotiated the division of the Franconian Empire in 842, which led to the Treaty of Verdun in 843.
The Ehrenbreitstein Fortress overlooks the Rhine as it stands 118 metres high. It is located opposite the River Rhine and was built around the year 1000.
