Koblenz-Stolzenfels is a district of Koblenz . It lies across from Lahnstein at the mouth of the Lahn and extends as a narrow strip between the Rhine and the heights of the Koblenz city forest . Until the 19th century the place was called Capellen , from 1912 until it was incorporated into Koblenz in 1969, Kapellen-Stolzenfels . Above the district is the Stolzenfels Castle , which gave the place its name. Beer has been brewed at the mouth of the Königsbach since 1885 , initially by the traditional Königsbacher and since 2012 by the Koblenz brewery .

history

First of all, a chapel that has been documented since 1100 gave the place its name from 1153 "Capella". The Catholic parish church of St. Menas was built on the site of the chapel at the beginning of the 19th century . Since 1328 it has been the only patronage of the Egyptian martyr Menas north of the Alps .

Stolzenfels Castle was built as a hillside castle in the middle of the 13th century under the Archbishop of Trier, Arnold II of Isenburg . The name of a knight Walter Burggraf von Stulzenvels was mentioned in 1248. Archbishop Balduin of Luxembourg had the castle expanded around 1300 into an electoral customs castle and connected to the town on the banks of the Rhine by walls. The fortified town had gate towers at the northern and southern exits . Customs were moved to Kunostein Castle in Engers as early as 1412 . The castle was destroyed by the French in 1689 during the War of the Palatinate Succession . The Prussian Crown Prince and later King Friedrich Wilhelm IV had today's neo-Gothic castle built on the ruins , the most outstanding work of Rhine Romanticism .

At the exit of the Laubach Valley , an infirmary in Koblenz was first mentioned in 1267. Later it was moved further south to the Brückbach (today Siechhausbach). A leprosy institute with a hospital, mill and Alexius Chapel stood here, which was also used as a plague house in the 17th century . The area is still called the “Siechhaustal” today. Large parts of the fortifications were removed with the construction of the road along the Rhine in 1807, the rest disappeared in 1859 with the construction of the left-hand Rhine route .

The place belonged to the Electorate of Trier Stolzenfels since 1333 and was affiliated to the Koblenz office in 1528 . The bailiff had his seat in Stolzenfels Castle. In French time he came to the Arrondissement de Coblence and after the takeover of the Rhineland by Prussia in 1816 for mayor of Koblenz in county Koblenz . From 1857 the place was assigned to the mayor's office Rhens .

When the corresponding section of the left Rhine route of the Rheinische Eisenbahn was opened , the place received its own station under the name Capellen-Stolzenfels (also: Capellen a. Rhein ). It was renamed Kapellen-Stolzenfels in 1912 . Today trains no longer stop here as planned , but the facility continues to be used as a depot .

On June 7, 1969, the place was incorporated into the city of Koblenz. A year later, the Kripp part of the Rhens community was assigned to the place, which is now called Stolzenfels.
