Kobern-Gondorf

































Kobern-Gondorf is a municipality in the district of Mayen-Koblenz in Rhineland-Palatinate, western Germany.

The municipality comprises the towns Kobern, Gondorf and Dreckenach. Kobern Gondorf (about 17 km from Koblenz away) is an ancient wine village with about 3,000 inhabitants. For a turbulent past of this small town Moselstrasse document the famous Matthias Chapel, the ancestral castle of the Prince von der Leyen, Liebieg the castle, the medieval market with Tatzelwurmbrunnen, the oldest half-timbered house in Germany and Abteihof of St. Mary (built 1320/21). In addition to the cultural opportunities the city offers a lot of leisure activities such as miniature golf, boat trips on the Moselle, as well as biking and hiking trails.

Koblenz-Arenberg



Koblenz-Arenberg (also spelled as Aremberg or Ahremberg) is a historic duchy located in modern Germany. First mentioned in the 12th century, it was named after the village Aremberg in the modern district of Ahrweiler, in the Rhineland-Palatinate. The territorial possessions of the dukes of Arenberg varied through the ages. Around 1789 the duchy was located in the Eifel region on the west side of the Rhine, and contained amongst others Aremberg, Schleiden and Kerpen. However, although the Duchy itself was in Germany, from the 15th century on, the principal lands of the Dukes of Arenberg have been in modern day Belgium.
