    The Electoral Palace in Koblenz was the residence of the last archbishop and elector of Trier, Clemens Wenzeslaus of Saxony, who had it built at the end of the 18th century. Later the Prussian Crown Prince and later Emperor Wilhelm I resided here as Rhenish-Westphalian military governor for a few years.

    Today the castle is the seat of various federal authorities. It is one of the most important palace buildings of French early classicism in southwestern Germany and, along with Wilhelmshöhe Palace in Kassel, the Prince-Bishops' Palace in Münster and the Residenzschloss in Ludwigsburg, is one of the last residential palaces to be built in Germany immediately before the French Revolution.

        It is not a track that is allowed. If you drive here and the FELDJÄGER of the Bundeswehr stop you, a fine of 50 € will be due, as driving on the StOÜbPl Schmidtenhöhe with vehicles of any kind is prohibited. !!!!!!!!!
