Koblenz is located on both banks of the Rhine at its confluence with the Mosel, where the Deutsches Eck (German Corner) are situated. As Koblenz was one of the military posts established by Drusus about 8 BC, the city celebrated its 2000th anniversary in 1992. The old city was triangular in shape, two sides being bounded by the Rhine and Mosel and the third by a line of fortifications.
