History
Koblenz grew from a Roman military outpost into a medieval administrative center; the Deutsches Eck monument marks its 19th-century national symbolism where the Moselle meets the Rhine.
Conservation
Stick to marked paths and public squares, avoid feeding wildlife, and use local waste bins—riverbanks and heritage sites are sensitive to litter and erosion.
