Cochem Market Square The numerous well-preserved remnants of the historic city wall with its old fortifications still bear witness to Cochem's vibrant past, such as the Endert Gate with the former gatekeeper's residence, the defensive tower with the Balduin Gate, and the Martin Gate with its battlements and one of the footpaths to the Imperial Castle. Also eye-catching are the town hall, built in 1739 in the Baroque style, on the cozy market square, the "parlor" with the Martin Fountain, and the old, half-timbered, gabled houses roofed with Moselle slate in the narrow streets of the old town. The Bock Fountain on the Moselle promenade represents a "Cochemer Stückelchen" (Cochem little piece), an ironic narrative of everyday life for the residents. Opposite is St. Martin's Church with its striking tower, through which you walk on the pedestrian zone. From the Moselle promenade, you reach Bernstrasse through the "Fuchsloch," a passage that was once Cochem's smallest city gate. On the bridge near the tourist information office, there is a mosaic depicting the family tree of the town of Cochem. Experience-Marketplace-Small-Houses From the market square, old, winding stone steps lead up to the Klosterberg. The Capuchin monastery, built around 1630 and situated on a mountain promontory, served as a monastery until 1802 and is now the town's cultural center.
