Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the history and legends of the German city of Coblentz and its surroundings, from the founding of the ancient Roman settlement to its present-day appearance as a modern city of the Prussian Rhineland. It complements this with primary source medieval material translated… into English for the first time, providing a comprehensive exploration of this historic border city. Coblentz stands at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle, and boasts a rich and varied past. Archaeological digs have revealed traces of a Roman settlement called Conuentes, founded during the reign of Drusus Germanicus, while later historical periods include the city forming part of the Holy Roman Empire and functioning as an important trading hub of the Hanseatic League. The book discusses the urban development of Coblentz, its governance by archbishops and its status as a favorite dwelling place of a long line of electors of Trier. It unpacks the significance of many legends, such as that of Saint Castor, patron saint of the city, and the story of Ritza, daughter of Emperor Ludwig the Pious, and her association with the local monastery. The authors also relate the tale of Hermann, the Cheruscan chieftain, and his role as the liberator of Germany from the Roman legions under the command of Varus. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
