Koblenz, Germany, in Vintage Postcards

Koblenz (Coblenz in English, Coblence in French) is situated at the confluence of the Rhine and the Mosel. There is a spectacular view of the city from Ehrenbreitsten Castle, well worth a visit, as is the city itself - good shopping, plenty of places to eat and many interesting, historic buildings to visit - and don't miss the Deutsches Eck !

St Castor's Basilica

The basilica church of St. Castor in Koblenz was built between 817 and 836 by the bishop of Trier. It was later extended into the building we see today, with its two smart towers and ornate exterior. Inside are wall epitaphs to the different bishops of Trier and a pulpit dating from 1625.

The Deutsche Eck

The huge monument to Kaiser Wilhelm 1 was erected in 1897 at the place known as the Deutsche Eck (literally "German Corner") where the Rhine and the Moselle meet. ("Coblenz" derives from "confluence"). The statue was destroyed by US artillery fire in WW2. For many years thereafter a German flag was flown on the site, and in 1993 a local couple donated a copy of the monument, which stands there today.
