Preußisches Regierungsgebäude

The Preußisches Regierungsgebäude is a government building in Koblenz that stretches 158 meters along the Rhine and features tuff stone decoration with large corner towers. Inside, there are two courtyards and a notable staircase with vaulted halls.

The building was constructed between 1902 and 1906 from designs by architect Paul Kieschke and served as the Prussian administrative seat for the Koblenz district in the Rhine Province. It was a regional government center in the German Empire.

The building combines Romanesque Revival forms with Prussian identity and shapes Koblenz' cityscape with its commanding presence along the Rhine. The massive corner towers and elaborate facades show how architecture expressed state power.

The building is visible from outside and can be viewed from public paths along the Rhine, where you can see the entire facade and towers. The interior spaces are not open to the public, but the exterior is worth visiting during a walk through the city.

The interior staircase leads to halls with detailed stone carving that shows the skill of craftsmen at that time. These details are hardly visible from outside but make the building remarkable for architecture enthusiasts.
