Map ofCochem

Start at Endertplatz, go under the Skage-rak-bridge, (built in 1927, bombed 1945, re-built 1949) and turn right to the Endert-Ga-te. One of three well preserved fortified towngates complete with gatekeeper’s dwelling,jail, and the wall master’s dwelling, now theAlte Thorschenke. It was built in 1332 aspart of the wall surrounding the town alongwith the charter as a city by Prince Electorand Archbishop Balduin from Trier.

From the gate you can see the entrance ofthe 4,205 m long Kaiser Wilhelm Tunnel.Constructed 1869-1877 and opened si-multaneously with the rebuilt ReichsburgCochem Castle on 15 May 1877.

Upstairs Hinter Kempeln to the Kloster(Monastery Hill). Here stood KemplonCastle, first mentioned in 862. In 1576 thesite of the old peoples home St. Hedwigwas occupied by a dwelling tower, twowatchowers, and economy buldings. Bet-ween 1625 and 1635 a monastery, churcha treating home were built for the Capu-chin Order.

As the funds collected were not sufficientto finish the complex, Count Eltz and hiswife Elisabeth of Metzenhausen donatedthe rest of the money required. Their coat

of arms is to be seen above the churchdoor. In 1635 the church was consecratedby Bishop Enno von Senheim. After themonks had to give up due to Napoleonssecularisation in 1803, the buildings wereused as hospital and later on as school.The monastery church served temporarilyas the Cochem parisch church. So duringWorld War II. The monastery was handedover in 1978 from the parish and has beenpartly finished as Culture Centre. It is plan-ned to continue that work.

From the Klosterberg you overview thesurrounding hills: The Pinnerkreuz - na-med after Pinn, the shepard, who fell tohis death there - the Klottener Höhe (wild-life park) and chairlift (built 1955), Huber-tushöhe and Lescherlinde.

One hill is capped by the ruins of Winnen-burg Castle, built around 1250 by Cunovon Winesberg, later on the ancestral seatof the Electors of Metternich, and since1935 it has belonged to Cochem.

From the plateau in front of the cultur cen-tre there is a view over the old town, theCastle and Tummelchen (from Latin: tu-mulus = tomb) a Roman graveyard with awatch tower.

The Castle was built around the year1000, although it is not documented until1051, the time of Ehrenfried of the houseof Ezzonen, when the latter was appointedComes Palatinus by his brother-in-law,Emperor Otto III. Being Imperial propertyunder the German Emperors, it was paw-ned to the Electorate of Trier in 1294. towhom it belonged until 1801.

In 1689 it was destroyed by French troopsunder the Sun King Louis 14th . When Na-poleon dissolved the Electorate, the townof Cochem and the castle came underFrench and later under Prussian rule. On28 September 1868 the Huguenot and Pri-vy Counsellor of Commerce Louis Ravenébought the ruins. He is to blame for the re-construction after old plans. In 1942 thedescendants of Mr. Ravené sold the cast-le tho the Government of the Third Reichand since April 1978 it has belonged tothe citizens of the town of Cochem.

Go now down the old monastery stairsalong the town wall to the Obergasse,where the probably most beautiful oldhalf-timbered house of town can be seen.It was built in 1704 (herald figure), follo-wed by the Balduin’s Gate and the idyllictiny narrow alley Auf dem Rähmchen. Backtownhill in the Branntweingäßchen (BrandyAlley) is a restored half-timbered housewhich survived the fire of 1689. This is fol-lowed by the oldest restaurant in townZom Stüffje.

A long time ago it was a distillery (there-fore Brandy Alley). From here the Ober-bachstraße leads to the Markt (old mar-ket), the heart of the town, with St.-Martin-Fountain, baroque town hall of 1739 (onceof the Electorate of Trier) and charminghalf-timbered buildings.

Trough the Herrenstraße (site of the Courtof Winnenburg, now the Färberstübchen)to the Wenzelsgasse. House No. 1 used to

be the Franciscan hospital with churchand graveyard.

Left of this was until 1882 another towngate, separating town from the Burgfrieden.

Go on through the Burgfrieden, pass theofficial and court buildings of the Electora-te of Trier, the Leising’sche Haus of 1442,and the two narrowest houses in Cochemto the Martinstor (Martin’s Gate). Outsidethis gate was the hospital for plague vic-tims and lepers. Their graveyard was de-stroyed by a landslide of 1931. The plaguechapel St. Rochus from 1422 (renewed1680 is still there on the steep slope of thecastle hill.

Alonge the Moselle back to the centre youpass the Pegelhaus (water-gauge), the oldferry house, the coaching house of the El-ectorate of Trier (now Hotel Union), and thecustoms house of 1642.

St. Martin’s Church is probably as old asCochem itself (document as from 21 De-cember 866).

It was enlarged in 1452. The former gothicsteeple was later replaced by an onion to-wer. In 1930 a further extension was finis-hed. In 1945 it was destroyed throughbombing except of the old choir. Rebuil-ding took place in 1951 and the new bell-tower was completed in 1963.
