Koblenz (DE)
From Stamps of the World
Koblenz, also spelled Coblenz (English and pre-1926 German spelling) or Coblence (French: Coblence), is a German city (110,643 inhabitants end 2013) situated on both banks of the Rhine at its confluence with the Moselle, where the Deutsches Eck (German Corner) and its monument (Emperor William I on horseback) are situated. 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.
As Koblenz was one of the military posts established by Drusus about 8 BC, the city celebrated its 2000th anniversary in 1992.
