Alte Münze

The Alte Münze is a baroque building on Münzplatz in the Old Town core, displaying a symmetrical facade with four by seven window axes. The structure once stood within a larger complex where coins were minted and processed.

The building was constructed between 1761 and 1763 according to designs by court architect Johannes Seiz and served as residence for Mint Master Meydinger. It survived through the centuries as a testament to an era when Koblenz thrived through its crafting traditions.

The building recalls Koblenz's role as a center for coin production and shows how important currency making was to the city's economy. Today, visitors can appreciate its exterior and understand the significance of this historical craft to local life.

The building stands at Münzplatz near Alter Markt and is easily accessible on foot. When exploring the Old Town, it comes naturally on walking routes and offers a good view of baroque architecture.

The name comes from the coin minting that took place here for hundreds of years. This specialized craft tradition made Koblenz an important economic center along the Rhine.
