Festung Ehrenbreitstein:    Koblenz, Germany

Directly across the Rhine river from the Deutsches Eck is a hill called Festung Ehrenbreitstein with a fortress of the same name. Portions of fortification date back as far as 1000 BC. Around 1000 AD Ehrenbert erected a castle which was later destroyed by the French in 1801. The fortress and buildings seen here are also part of Koblenz, which spans both sides of the river.
