In 1832, the approximately 600 km long optical-mechanical telegraph line between Berlin and Koblenz was built on the orders of King Friedrich Wilhelm III. built to be able to pass on political and military messages quickly and securely. When the weather was good, short messages took less than an hour from Berlin to Koblenz, while mounted messengers took 3 ½ days.
