Reichsburg Cochem
100 metres above the river, the symbol of Cochem looms imposingly over the town. The Cochem Castle was commissioned by Duke Ezzo in the year 1000. Then, in 1151, it was conquered by the Staufer family and renamed the “Reichsburg.” After its destruction in the 17th century, it was rebuilt some 200 years later in 1868.
