The history of Koblenz dates back to around 9 B.C. when the Romans named the castle that stood amidst the beautiful mountain landscape, “castellum apud confluentes”. Since then, Koblenz has had a rich and varied history. Koblenz was captured by the French, before becoming home to many of the German aristocracy and finally being fortified by the Prussians.
A wonderful city in the heart of Germany, Koblenz is located where the Moselle joins the Rhine and is famously surrounded by four separate mountain ranges.
