In 1986, 2,000 years after its founding as "Confluentes," Koblenz has a rich history marked by the Romans, followed by the Franks, and a long association with the Archbishopric of Trier lasting nearly 777 years. The city served as the capital of a French department for 20 years, a curious fact today. After becoming Prussian in 1815, Koblenz eventually became the capital of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, a title it relinquished to Mainz in 1950. The devastation of 1944 is evident in the modern interiors of many historical buildings that shape the city’s character. With a population of almost 113,000, plus 11,000 soldiers, Koblenz is a charming small city situated at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers, less burdened by industry and more focused on services and the tertiary sector of the economy. In short, it is a city well-suited for living and a delightful place to visit.
