Places to see in ( Koblenz - Germany ) Basilica of St Castor
The St. Castor Basilica is the oldest surviving church in Koblenz. The monastery church was consecrated in 836 and was the scene of many important historical events. The St. Castor monastery was a meeting and mediation point for emperors and kings, as well as their descendants.
In the Romanesque church in 842, the trial of the sons of Emperor Louis the Pious took place. This led to the division of the Frankish Empire in the Treaty of Verdun the following year. The building as it stands today dates mainly from the middle of the 12th century.
On 30th July 1991, Pope John Paul II elevated the Castor Church to a minor basilica. The St. Castor Basilica, together with the Liebfrauenkirche and St. Florins’ Church characterise the silhouette of the Koblenz old town.

Places to see in ( Koblenz - Germany ) Liebfrauenkirche
The Liebfrauenkirche (Church of Our Lady) was built on the highest point of the city and from the late middle ages to the French Revolution, it was the main parish church in Koblenz. Its origins date back to the 5th century when the Franks established a church in what had been Roman buildings. It was repeatedly rebuilt and expanded using the original foundations.
Built in the 17th century, destroyed in 1944 and reconstructed in 1955, the onion domes characterise the silhouette of the Koblenz old town. The Liebfrauenkirche has a number of significant furnishings from the period between the 15th and 18th centuries.

From Trier to Koblenz, Germany
After Luxembourg, we headed out to Germany, and started the day with a guided visit of Trier, reputed to be one of the oldest cities in the country, and once the capital of the Roman province of Gallia Belgica. The town's story begins around 16 B.C. when the Romans called it Augusta Treverorum and it is proud of its two thousand year old heritage. Roman emperors, bishops, electors and prominent citizens all left their mark on the town, as can be seen in Trier's magnificent art treasures and unique architectural monuments. The best known is the Porta Nigra, the massive Roman town gate. Porta Nigra (Latin for black gate) is today the largest Roman city gate north of the Alps and has been designated a World Heritage Site. The name Porta Nigra originated in the Middle Ages due to the darkened color of its stone; the original Roman name has not been preserved. Locals commonly refer to the Porta Nigra simply as Porta.
The main thoroughfares in the extensive pedestrian zone leading from the Porta Nigra are Simeonstrasse, Hauptmarkt, Brotstrasse, Fleischstrasse and Neustrasse and its side streets. There are designer fashion boutiques, department stores, lifestyle shops, fair trade shops selling third-world goods, jewellers, specialist outlets, and antique shops -- a shopper's paradise.
We also visited the Karl Marx Haus, the birthplace of the great social philosopher.
After spending two hours here, we moved on to Koblenz. Siituated in the picturesque landscape of the Rhine and Moselle and surrounded by four low mountain ranges is the 2000-year-old town of Koblenz. Its abundance of cultural monuments and historic buildings, its cosy lanes and narrow alleyways, the relaxed and happy atmosphere of its squares and river promenades make Koblenz a friendly town. Fortress walls and towers, castles and palaces, monuments and parks paint a vivid picture of the town's eventful past.
Deutsches Eck (German Corner) is the name of a headland in Koblenz where the Mosel joins the Rhine. In 1897, nine years after the death of the German Emperor William I, the former emperor was honored with a giant equestrian statue bearing an inscription quoting a German poem: Nimmer wird das Reich zerstöret, wenn ihr einig seid und treu (Never will the Empire be destroyed, so long as you are united and loyal). Another inscription could be found at the statue dedicating it to Wilhelm der Große (William the Great).
Here we strolled around the Basilica of St. Castor (Kastorkirche), the oldest church in Koblenz. A fountain called Kastorbrunnen (Castor well) was built in front of the basilica during Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812. Pope John Paul II raised St. Castor to a basilica minor on 30 July 1991. This church is worth seeing for the historical events that have occurred in it, its extensive Romanesque construction and its largely traditional furnishings. Since 2002, the Basilica of St. Castor has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage cultural landscape of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley. In addition, it is a cultural property protected under the Hague Convention.
Here we had a good lunch of smoked fish and pork fillet, after devouring our dessert of strawberry cake (our best lunch ever).

Koblenz is an ancient city in central Germany, and a gateway to the terraced vineyards and ruined castles of the Rhine Gorge. In the center, a monumental statue of William the Great marks the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers. A cable car connects to the hilltop Ehrenbreitstein Fortress, which hosts museums and cultural events. South along the river is the neo-Gothic Stolzenfels Castle with its gardens.
At the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle Rivers and the convergence of three low mountain ranges – the Hunsrück, the Eifel and the Westerwald – the Romans founded a military stronghold they named Confluentes for the site’s supreme strategic value. Modern-day Koblenz is a park- and flower-filled city that serves as both the northern gateway to the Romantic Rhine Valley and the northeastern gateway to the Moselle Valley, making it an ideal starting point for exploring the region.
Koblenz has about 110,000 inhabitants (2015); the surrounding area accounts for about 400,000 people in total. The name Koblenz originates from Latin (ad) confluentes, confluence or (at the) merging of rivers. Subsequently it was Covelenz and Cobelenz. In the local dialect the name is Kowelenz. After Mainz and Ludwigshafen am Rhein, it is the third largest city in Rhineland-Palatinate in terms of population. Koblenz lies in the Rhineland, 92 kilometers (57 mi) southeast of Cologne by rail.

Koblenz, Germany - city tour
Koblenz is a ancient German city situated on both banks of the Rhine at its confluence with the Moselle, where the Deutsches Eck and its monument of Emperor William I on horseback are situated.
After Mainz and Ludwigshafen am Rhein, it is the third largest city in Rhineland-Palatinate. Koblenz lies in the Rhineland.
Koblenz is a gateway to the terraced vineyards and ruined castles of the Rhine Gorge. A cable car connects to the hilltop Ehrenbreitstein Fortress, which hosts museums and cultural events. South along the river is the neo-Gothic Stolzenfels Castle with its gardens.
The old city was triangular in shape, two sides being bounded by the Rhine and Mosel and the third by a line of fortifications. The Koblenz Hauptbahnhof was built on a spacious site outside the former walls at the junction of the Cologne-Mainz railway and the strategic Metz-Berlin line.
The Rhine is crossed by the Pfaffendorf Bridge, originally the location of a rail bridge. The Moselle is spanned by a Gothic freestone bridge of 14 arches.
Since 1890, the city has consisted of the Altstadt and the Neustadt or Klemenstadt. Of these, the Altstadt is closely built and has only a few fine streets and squares, while the Neustadt possesses numerous broad streets and a handsome frontage along the Rhine.
In the more ancient part of Koblenz stand several buildings which have a historical interest. Prominent among these, near the point of confluence of the rivers, is the Basilica of St. Castor or Kastorkirche, dedicated to Castor of Karden, with four towers.
In the modern part of the city lies the palace, Residenzschloss, with one front looking towards the Rhine, the other into the Neustadt.

The Lost Treasures of St Sidwell's
On April 6th 2017 we launch our Crowdfunder appeal to raise money for The Lost Treasures of St Sidwell's. Our Crowdfunder ends on May 4th this year, the night 75 years ago when the treasures were lost.
St Sidwell's Community Centre is an independent charity based in Sidwell Street, Exeter and today we’re asking you to help us restore The Lost Treasures of St Sidwell’s.
There’s been a church here since Anglo Saxon times and the current building was built in the 1950’s after the old church, like much of the city, was destroyed during the Blitz of WW2…….. seventy-five years ago this May.
In the weeks that followed the bombing in May 1942, local people managed to rescue a number of objects from the ruins of the Victorian church, including a number of stained glass windows and two statues by world renowned sculptor Harry Hems. They were moved to safety and forgotten about for decades: the stained glass packed away in the bell tower of a neighbouring church, the statues languishing in a neglected corner of our gardens, eroded by the weather and gathering moss.
Among the stained glass was a very beautiful and unique image of Saint Sidwella, the patron saint of Exeter. So far this is the only restoration we have been able to afford.
We need your help to restore these beautiful depictions of Exeter’s patron saint and bring them back to St Sidwell’s for everyone to enjoy again.
