The Gau Moselland, formed as Gau Koblenz-Trier in June 1931, was an administrative division of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945 in the Prussian Rhine Province. Before that, from 1931 to 1933, it was the regional subdivision of the Nazi Party in that area. On 24 January 1941, the Gau was renamed Gau Moselland, Mosel being the German name of the river Moselle. Following the 1940 German conquest of Luxembourg, the country was subsequently annexed on 30 August 1942 and made part of Gau Moselland.

Koblenz Charterhouse (German: Kartause Koblenz) was a Carthusian monastery, or charterhouse, in Koblenz, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It stood on the Beatusberg, a hill that forms the north-easterly tip of the Hunsrück overlooking the city. The site was first occupied by a Benedictine monastery, the Kloster St. Beatusberg, which was closed in 1315, when the monks were replaced by a community of Augustinian Canons until the Carthusians took over the site in 1331.The charterhouse was damaged in the Thirty Years' War and still more in the Siege of Koblenz in 1688 during the Nine Years' War, and was largely rebuilt in the 1720s and 1730s. It was dissolved in the secularisation under Napoleon in 1802, the monks having been expelled from the premises in 1794. The buildings were put to military use and then demolished for the construction of the Prussian Fort Grossfürst Konstantin in 1822–32.The former charterhouse - German: Kartause - has given its name to the modern district of Karthause, which contains not only the fort but also a prison, a secondary school and the state archives.

Rhin-et-Moselle (French: [ʁɛ̃ e mɔzɛl]; German: Rhein-und-Mosel) was a department of the First French Republic and First French Empire in present-day Germany. It was named after the rivers Rhine and Moselle. It was formed in 1797, when the left bank of the Rhine was annexed by France. Until the French occupation, its territory was divided between the Archbishopric of Cologne, the Archbishopric of Trier, and the Electorate of the Palatinate. Its territory is now part of the German states of Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia. Its capital was Koblenz. After Napoleon was defeated in 1814, the department became part of Prussia.

Koblenz Stadtmitte station (German: Haltepunkt Koblenz Stadtmitte, freely translated as "Koblenz City Centre station") was opened on 14 April 2011 on the West Rhine Railway (German: Linke Rheinstrecke) in central Koblenz in the German state of Rhineland Palatinate. The main purpose of this station is to improve public transport access to central Koblenz because it is more convenient than Koblenz Hauptbahnhof (main station). In addition, it played an essential role as the station serving the Federal Horticultural Show 2011 in Koblenz.

The Koblenz–Neuwied railway is a two-track, electrified main line railway in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. It connects the Neuwied station on the Right (east) Rhine line to the major railway junction at Koblenz Hauptbahnhof (central station) and to the Left (west) Rhine and Moselle lines.

The West Rhine railway (German: Linke Rheinstrecke, literally 'left (bank of the) Rhine route') is a famously picturesque, double-track electrified railway line running for 185 km from Cologne via Bonn, Koblenz, and Bingen to Mainz. It is situated close to the western (left) bank of the river Rhine and mostly aligned to allow 160 km/h operation between Cologne and Koblenz and between Bingen and Mainz. Line speed between Koblenz and Bingen is restricted by the meandering nature of the Rhine Gorge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

III Corps was a corps of the German Army (Bundeswehr Heer) active from 1957 to 1994. The preparation of the staff of the corps took place from 16 March 1957 at Gneisenau-Kaserne, Koblenz; the corps was officially formed on 6 April 1957. Initially, the 2nd Panzergrenadier Division and 5th Panzer Division moved in 1957 from the II Corps to III Corps. The corps was integrated into defence planning from mid-1957, as part of NATO's Central Army Group, commanded by the commander of the U.S. Seventh Army. The area of operations was the FRG-DDR and German-Czechoslovak border in Hesse and Franconia. On 1 December 1958 the 7th Panzer Division was transferred from the III Corps to the I Corps. Among the first corps troops were Ordnance regiment 504 (formed May 16, 1957 in Diez, transferred January 1958 in Koblenz), and Corps Artillery Command 403 (based until 1 July 1957 at Munsterlager, from August 1957 in Koblenz). Under corps command were a rocket artillery battalion, a supply battalion, and a geophysical measurement train. Smilo Freiherr von Lüttwitz was the first commander of the corps, as a Lieutenant General. Initially from 1959 the corps' troops under Heeresstruktur II consisted of : 2nd Panzergrenadier Division (Marburg) Panzergrenadierbrigade 4 (Göttingen) Panzergrenadierbrigade 5 (Kassel) Panzerbrigade 6 (Marburg) 5th Panzer Division (Koblenz) Panzergrenadierbrigade 13 (Wetzlar) Panzerbrigade 14 (Koblenz) Panzerbrigade 15 (Koblenz) 7th Panzergrenadier (later Panzer) Division (Unna) Panzergrenadierbrigade 19 (Ahlen) Panzerbrigade 21 (Augustdorf) Corps TroopsUnder Heeresstruktur III from 1970 the 2nd Division was converted into a Jäger or light infantry formation. Creating more Jager troops was intended to provide smaller, more mobile and yet strong anti-tank formations that would be able to fight in the unfavourable terrain of the German low mountain ranges even during a nuclear war. As a "compensation" for the lost tank units, a tank regiment was initially planned as a tactical reserve as corps troops. In contrast to the corresponding tank regiments of the other two corps, however, the formation of this regiment was never ordered. However, the corps was assigned an airborne brigade of the 1st Airborne Division (Bundeswehr) as a reserve. In addition, at the level of the corps troops, the previous army aviation battalion was reorganized into a light and a medium army aviation transport regiment. According to the nomenclature of the other corps commands, the corps artillery command 403 was renamed Artilleriekommando 3 in 1972, and the medical command 253 was renamed Medical Command 3. In January 1977 all three divisions of the III. Corps grew to the three subordinate brigades that had been targeted since the founding of the Bundeswehr. Since 1981 these brigades were then named according to the usual numbering. In 1994 the corps headquarters was disbanded and re-designated the headquarters of the German Army Forces Command. At the end of the Cold War in 1989, the corps commanded the 2nd Panzergrenadier, 5th Panzer, and 12th Panzer Divisions.

For example, in 1890 part of the fortress was declassified, the gates were demolished between 1896–1899 and further structures were demolished in the years 1920–1927.

Koblenz (UK: koh-BLENTS, US: KOH-blents, German: [ˈkoːblɛnts] (listen)) is a German city on the banks of the Rhine and the Moselle, a multinational tributary. Koblenz was established as a Roman military post by Drusus around 8 B.C. Its name originates from the Latin (ad) cōnfluentēs, meaning "(at the) confluence". The actual confluence is today known as the "German Corner", a symbol of the unification of Germany that features an equestrian statue of Emperor William I. The city celebrated its 2000th anniversary in 1992. It ranks in population behind Mainz and Ludwigshafen am Rhein to be the third-largest city in Rhineland-Palatinate. Its usual-residents' population is 112,000 (as at 2015). Koblenz lies in a narrow flood plain between high hill ranges, some reaching mountainous height, and is served by an express rail and autobahn network. It is part of the populous Rhineland.

The Old Castle (German: Alte Burg) was a former Elector-owned, substantial water castle in the German city of Koblenz, incepted in the 13th century. It is today reduced to the later Burghaus (castle house); which houses the city archives. It sits on tall foundations and has a tall, black slate roof with further floors in the attic and two small cupolas. The lowland castle abutted the remaining building in the old town quarter. The castle house stands tall, next to the Moselle's right-bank towpath downstream of the strategic Baldwin Bridge (lowest crossing of the river) built in 1342. The bridge, much-repaired, remains intact.
