In addition to the riverbank areas in Lützel and Neuendorf, Ehrenbreitstein should also conserve its authentic image of the romantic Rhine landscape.

Core and peripheral areas in Koblenz

The Moselle and Rhine promenade from the Old Town to the southern suburbs will partially recover their historical image and the Rhine Pool an ecological value. Even the " operetta on the Rhine Pool " comes forward for discussion.This floating operette stage that swims in the Rhine with spectators watching from the river bank attracts around one million guests, until a resident complained it was disturbing the peace!


Dr. Dieter Marcos, historian
Among the so called "fringe "or peripheral areas of BUGA are Fort Asterstein, Glockenberghang, the Pfaffendorfer Rhine river banks,and the Stolzenfels Castle situated in a park. At Fort Konstantin on the Karthäuser slopes, we spoke to Dr. Dieter Marcos, historian and director of the pro Konstantin:
" I think it is important that the old fortress buildings should be improved and available to tourists especially in the case of cultural events. " Maros also hopes that in connection with the preparation for BUGA the entire urban situation will improve. Main examples are the main train  station and the Friedrich-Ebert Ring, "A dream of mine is a traffic calm inner city with adequate parking " What is still lacking in the southern suburbs?....." A top hotel at the main railway station would be perfect "
