the location of one of Germany‘s oldest and most beautiful cities:
Koblenz, city of the Federal Horticultural Show 2011. Koblenz has
always been a popular place. This is where emperors, kings, and
princes built their residences, and where many artists have sought
inspiration from the unique landscape. Today, Koblenz attracts visitors from all around the world. The reasons for this are as diverse
as the city itself.

WINE
Haus Metternich
on the Münzplatz
The name of the square, Münzplatz
(Mint Square) commemorates the
former mint of the prince-electors
of the German First Reich. The
Münzmeisterhaus (Mint Master‘s
House) is still preserved, and dates
back to 1763. Prince Metternich
was born in the Metternich House, in 1773. He went on to become the
foreign minister and federal chancellor of the Austrian Empire. He led the
Congress of Vienna of 1814/15, which resulted in Koblenz becoming the
seat of government for the Prussian Rhine Province.
18
The most lasting gift the Roman city founders made to Koblenz is certainly
the art of winegrowing. Today the regional wines are considered to be
among the best wine products worldwide by connoisseurs.
Plan square
For centuries, this has been the
city‘s most important centre of
communication. It was used as a
market and jousting ground, and for
events and executions.
The fountain commemorates the
construction of Koblenz‘s first water
supply line. Up until 1973, the building on the north side of the square, now home to restaurants, was used
as a fire station by the professional fire brigade.
15
6,00 € p.p. entrance fortress
Schängelbrunnen
This fountain was designed in 1941
by Carl Burger and features a statue
of the Kowelenzer Schängel, or
‘naughty boy of Koblenz’. Today, the
term ‘Schängel’ denotes a native
citizen of Koblenz, but it originates
in a corruption of the French name
‘Jean’, which was pronounced
Schang’ and used in a somewhat derogatory fashion to describe the little
boys born to Koblenz women by French men during the many French
occupations through the ages. The ‘Schängel’ is known for his wit and
repartee.
This guided tour can be booked for groups in English language: +49 261 30388-14
5,00 € p.P. guided tour
The Rathaus (town hall)
on the Jesuitenplatz
The two town hall buildings were
once a Jesuit cloister with grammar
school. Building II was built in
1582-1670, the town hall building I
in 1694-1701. Since 1895, the
building complex has served as the
Koblenz Town Hall. The difference
between the late Renaissance and early Baroque facade designs is clearly
visible. The frescoes by the Italian master Lucaes above the stairway in
building I are well worth a look.
2
Extend the guided city tour with the visit of the interactive exhibition experience
ROMANTICUM and enjoy a Cappuccino.
The historic centre
Alte Burg
Heinrich von Finstingen, princeelector of Trier, erected this Trutzburg, or ‚castle of defiance‘, in the
13th century to subdue the citizens
of Koblenz, who were seeking
independence at the time.
The castle was originally the home
of the von der Arkens, a ministerial
family. Today it is where the city archive is located.

barrel storage. Enjoy a visit to the cellar and have all your senses stimulated at the

culture and education under one
roof and invites you to rediscover Koblenz. That’s because this
architecturally exciting building

Liebfrauenkirche
Galleried basilica with 5 axes.
Construction lasted from 1180 to
approximately 1250. The new construction of the Gothic chancel began
in 1404, while the Baroque
onion towers date from 1693.
The Liebfrauenkirche (Church of
Our Beloved Lady), stands on the
highest point of the historic centre, and is known as the church of the
Koblenz citizenry.
44
A place rich in history. Consecrated
in 836, this church is where the
negotiations between the sons of
Ludwig the Pious took place in 842.
These led to the division of the
Frankish empire. The building as it
stands today was constructed
predominantly in the 12th century. It
was raised to the status of a basilica minor by Pope John Paul II in 1991.
23
Old Kauf- and Danzhaus
This ensemble is one of the city‘s
most attractive groups of structures.
Some buildings well worth seeing
are the Schöffenhaus, with its beautiful oriel window facing the Mosel,
and the Kauf- und Danzhaus, which
was the home of the Mittelrheinmuseum until 2012 (now located in the
Forum Confluentes). According to legend, the ‘Augenroller’ (eye-roller),
commemorates the robber Baron Johann Lutter von Kobern, who was
executed in 1536.
26
Florinskirche
The triple-naved, galleried basilica
dates from the 12th century and is
today a Protestant church. The remains of a Roman guard-tower are
located beneath the Gothic apse.
the vicarage of Liebfrauenkirche
situated opposite marks the spot
where the core of a 6th-century
palace of the Frankish kings once stood.
31
Deutsches Eck
The Deutsches Eck (German corner),
received its name in 1216 when the
Teutonic Order settled here at the
confluence of the Rhine and the
Mosel. In 1888, the idea was hatched to erect a monument to Kaiser
Wilhelm I. In order to create room
for the monument, a spit of land
was created, which represents the Deutsches Eck of today. The original
statue of Kaiser Wilhelm I on horseback, erected in 1897, was destroyed
in 1945, shortly before the end of the war. A replica was placed on the
plinth on 2 September 1993, and has been a magnet for visitors from
around the world ever since.
33
Deutschherrenhaus home
of the Ludwig Museum
Following an eventful history,
since 1992 the Ludwig Museum
has been located within this
building on the Rhine. This surviving part of the building complex
belonging to the Teutonic Knights,
who established themselves in
1216 on the confluence of the Rhine and the Mosel. The museum focuses
on modern artworks, particularly French. The art collector Peter Ludwig
(1925-96) was born in Koblenz. Together with the neighbouring basilica
of St. Castor, the former religious building shelters the idyllic Blumenhof
area, an oasis of peace within the bustling Deutsches Eck.
16
Koblenz Theatre
The only surviving classicist theatre
on the Middle Rhine. It was commissioned by Prince-Elector Clemens
Wenzeslaus and built by Hofrat
F.-J. Schmitz in 1786/87. It was
completely renovated in 1984/85.
The obelisk commemorates the
inauguration of the Clemensbrunnen
(Clemens Well) by its sponsor, Prince-Elector Clemens Wenzeslaus.
MUSEUMS
32
40
Historiensäule
at the Görresplatz
At the centre of the Görresplatz
stands a fountain with the approx.
10-metre-high ‘Historiensäule’
(history pillar). It was a gift from the
state of Rhineland-Palatinate to the
city of Koblenz on the occasion of
its 2,000 year anniversary in 1992.
The artist and sculptor Jürgen Weber, depicts the history of Koblenz, from
the Roman era to the present day, using 10 three-dimensional scenes
stacked on top of one another.
6a
Rhine promenades and castle
The 3.5 km-long Rhine promenades, on the left bank of the Rhine
consist of the Konrad Adenauer Bank and the Empress Augusta
Gardens. Augusta, the Prussian queen and later empress, created
the beautiful promenades together with Prince Pückler-Muskau
and the brilliant landscape architect Peter Joseph Lenné (the creator of Sanssouci, the Pfaueninsel, and many other gardens) during
the mid-19th century. The Rhine promenades were restyled as part
of the Federal Horticultural Show 2011. A splendid shoreline boulevard has been created, lined with important sights, from the 17thcentury Rhine crane and the Electoral Palace, with its generously
proportioned steps directly by the Rhine, to the Empress Augusta
monument, a tribute to Augusta.
4
Former Prussian
government building
The former Prussian government
building is part of an ensemble of
structures planned in 1902/1903.
The building embodies one of the
main examples of the neo-Romanesque style. Kaiser Wilhelm II used
his personal influence and gave his
consent for construction to begin. Immediately next to the building
complex stands an imposing structure, originally a luxury hotel.
Today both building complexes are used as administration centres.
6
Empress Augusta
Promenade
and Görres Monument
Ehrenbreitstein
Ehrenbreitstein, situated at the foot of the fortress bearing the
same name, is a former cultural centre and residency city of the
Prince-Electors. It delights with buildings from a glorious era,
including the house in which Ludwig van Beethoven‘s mother was
born; old timber-framed and Baroque buildings; the Capuchin
cloister, and the dicasterial building designed by Balthasar Neumann. Ehrenbreitstein is also where the Rhine museum is located,
which features exhibits on and artworks relating to the Rhine. This
is where La Roche, privy councillor to the Prince-Elector, and his
wife Sophie, herself a well-known writer, held an open salon,
whose guests included Goethe, Basedow, Lavater, and Brentano,
among others.
10
14
The promenades along the Rhine
are amongst the most beautiful
between Basel and Rotterdam. On
the tree-dotted lawns stands the
monument to Joseph Görres, the
founder of the ‘Rheinischer Merkur’
newspaper. One can also find other gems here, such as the Luisentempel
and, above all, the Empress Augusta monument.
11
Weindorf
The Weindorf (wine village), was
created in 1925 on the occasion
of the Reich exhibition on German
wine. It is situated directly by the
shore of the Rhine and has been a
meeting place for sociable types
from around the world ever since
it was constructed. Today people
can sample a good drop of wine and eat regional specialities in the four
typical vintners‘ houses, which are re-constructions of the sort of
buildings typically found in German wine-making regions.
12
Electoral Palace
„Kurfürstliches Schloss“
Prince-Elector Clemens Wenzeslaus
had this building erected in 17771786 as Germany‘s first neoclassical castle. From 1850 to 1857, the
castle was the seat of the Prussian
military governor Prince Wilhelm,
the later Kaiser Wilhelm I. It was
rebuilt after being destroyed in the Second World War. In these days, the
Electoral Palace is used as a conference and event venue. The Grand
Café keeps its doors open to the public. It is also possible to walk through
the palace to the Rhine enclosures when coming from Schloßstraße
street. A superb terraced garden was built leading down to the Rhine.

in 1689. The ruin was given to the
Prussian Crown Prince Friedrich
Wilhelm in 1823, and restored 15
years later using plans by Schinkel,
the Berlin master builder. Expensive furniture and a collection of armoury
and weaponry can be seen inside. The castle‘s facade shines anew following renovation work. The historic park and garden complex is once more
open to the public, with some areas accessible for the first time.

Fort Konstantin
Alongside the Ehrenbreitstein
Fortress, Koblenz‘s great defensive
works include several fortress complexes, including Fort Konstantin on
the left bank of the Rhine. It was
built between 1821 and 1832 on
the site of the medieval Carthusian
cloister. The fort was named after
Grand Duke Konstantin, the brother of the Russian tsar. Access and group
tours are possible on request. The cultural events held in the summer
months are especially recommended.
