Görresplatz
The area of today's Görresplatzes in Koblenz Altstadt was already inhabited by the Romans, as archaeological finds have shown. In the Middle Ages, it belonged to the Kastorstift monastery and later to the Jesuit order. In the 19th century, it was gradually built on and became municipal property. From 1827 to 1872, the publishing house of Carl Baedeker, who became famous for his travel guides, was located at Görresplatz.
