Koblenz-Ehrenbreitstein, City district on the eastern bank of Rhine River in Koblenz, Germany.
Description
Koblenz-Ehrenbreitstein is a district on the eastern bank of the Rhine River in Koblenz, stretching from the riverbank up to steep slopes in the north and east. The Ehrenbreitstein Fortress sits on a rocky plateau that dominates the entire area from above.
History
The area shows traces of fortifications since ancient times and later served as a residence for the prince-electors of Trier in the 17th century. This long military history shaped the district's development through subsequent periods.
Culture
The district maintains architectural elements from various periods, including structures from its time as residence of the Trier prince-electors in the 17th century.
Practical
You can reach the district by cable car that runs regularly across the river between the valley and the fortress. The steeply sloped terrain requires good footwear and time to explore the different elevation levels.
Did you know?
The district combines settlements directly along the riverbank with the high fortress plateau, a height difference that is dramatic in few places. This extreme topography creates almost two different worlds within the same district.
