Everyone assumes Koblenz’s giant riverside statue is named for the emperor. It isn’t. The name is centuries older, and the Teutonic monks’ story only gets stranger at this river confluence.

When the Russian commander read the boast, he quietly signed his own reply underneath. This self-guided walking tour, led by a downloadable audio app, takes you past that fountain and 20-plus more Koblenz stops, including a fortress no army ever beat in battle was blown up by its own defenders, and a mechanical face that has stuck its tongue out at pedestrians for centuries.
