Cochem, District capital in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

Located along the Moselle River at 85 meters elevation, Cochem extends across 21 square kilometers and maintains a population of 5,288 residents.

The settlement, first documented as Villa cuchema in 866, received its town rights in 1332 and survived through significant events including the Plague epidemic of 1423.

The Renaissance Revival railway station, constructed between 1900 and 1902, represents the architectural evolution of this German municipality through different periods.

Tourists can access Cochem through regular Regionalbahn, Regional-Express, and InterCity train services that connect the town to major German cities.

The Gothic Revival Imperial Castle, rebuilt after 1868, stands above the Moselle River as the central landmark of this second-smallest district capital in Germany.
