Koblenz

Koblenz is a city in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, at the confluence of the Rhine and the Moselle, a point marked by the Deutsches Eck monument. Founded as the Roman fort of Confluentes, it became a residence of the archbishop-electors of Trier, and in 1791–1792 it sheltered French émigré princes. Under Prussia from 1815 it was the capital of the Rhine Province.
