With the settlement of the Teutonic Order at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle in 1216, this historic square received its name "Deutsches Eck". Koblenz also owes its name to the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle – the current name of Koblenz came from “Castellum apud Confluentes”, Latin for “the fort at the confluence” over time.

If you climb the fortress via the Felsenweg, you can embellish small breaks with a great view of Koblenz
