The Prussian government building in the Rheinanlagen district of Koblenz was the seat of the Prussian government for the Koblenz administrative district of the Rhine province and the main tax office. The Federal Office for Equipment, Information Technology and Use of the Federal Armed Forces (BAAINBw) is now housed in the main building, while the former official villa of the District President houses departments of the Koblenz Higher Regional Court. The former Oberpraesidium of the Rhine Province is in the immediate vicinity. Together with the neighboring Koblenzer Hof, it forms a townscape-defining ensemble on the banks of the Rhine.

The building of the former Prussian government for the administrative district of Koblenz and the main tax office was built from 1902 to 1906 under the direction of the Berlin secret building officer Paul Kieschke and the Koblenz building authority on the site of the former Electoral Trier orphanage in the Wilhelminian neo-romantic style. Emperor Wilhelm II personally made changes to the plan regarding the towers and roofs. His concern was to build on the Staufer period, which was regarded as a model of national greatness.

The 158 m long neo-Romanesque building, which once housed the (district) government of the Koblenz district, the main tax office, still decisively defines the image of the Rhine front today. A mighty neo-Romanesque complex arose around two inner courtyards with side wings. The four-storey main front on the bank with a massive gabled central pavilion looks like a fort due to the large corner towers and the tufa cladding of the facades. Inside are monumental stairways with vaulted halls and outstanding stone carvings.

The Presidium of the Federal Office for Defense Technology and Procurement has been located in the former Prussian government building since 1961, and after the restoration work was completed in 1993, the Koblenz Higher Regional Court was located in the southern part.

The building, erected in the Neo-Romanesque style between 1902 and 1906, was the seat of the former Prussian government for the administrative district of Koblenz in the Rhine province and the main tax office.

Emperor Wilhelm II personally made changes to the plan of the towers and roofs in order to tie in with the Staufer period. A 158 meter long complex was built around two inner courtyards with side wings in the Wilhelminian neo-Romanesque style, which still has a decisive influence on the image of the Rhine front today.

The four-storey main front on the bank with a massive, gable-topped central pavilion looks like a fort due to the large corner towers and the tufa cladding of the facades. Inside are monumental stairways with vaulted halls and outstanding stone carvings.

Today the presidium of the Federal Office for Equipment, Information Technology and Use of the German Armed Forces (BAAINBw) is located in the former Prussian government building. The Koblenz Higher Regional Court has been located in the southern part since 1993.
