Koblenz

Located at the intersection of the Rhine and Moselle rivers, Koblenz extends across 105 square kilometers surrounded by four mountain ranges in western Germany.

The Romans established a military post at this location in 9 BCE, which later became a Frankish royal seat before being granted to the archbishops of Trier in 1018.

The Electoral Palace and Saint Castor Basilica represent the architectural evolution of Koblenz, while the Ludwig Museum presents contemporary art collections.

The city operates a major commercial port on the Moselle River, facilitating petroleum distribution and manufacturing industries including automotive parts and data processing equipment.

The German Corner monument at the rivers junction features a reconstructed equestrian statue of Wilhelm I, marking the symbolic point where Rhine meets Moselle.
