Koblenzer Hof

Koblenzer Hof is a building with neoclassical features that extends along the Rhine embankment district. The two-story structure features a continuous veranda and is marked by vertical pilaster elements across its front.

The building was originally constructed between 1912 and 1913 as the Grand-Hotel Esplanade-Bellevue. The name was later changed to Koblenzer Hof because the French naming faced resistance from the local population.

The building displays design features from the early twentieth century, with large window rows and slender columns shaping its facade. These elements reflect the thinking of a time when elegance and functional structure were meant to work together.

The complex is currently used by a federal agency and is not generally open to visitors. However, you can view the architecture and riverside position from the embankment area outside.

The building's steel framework has rusted significantly and requires millions in investment for major repairs. This structural challenge makes the site an example of the difficulties involved in preserving large historic structures from this period.
