Franziskanerkloster Koblenz

The Franciscans settled in Koblenz at the beginning of the 13th century. The first documented mention of the monastery dates to 1236, suggesting that the construction of the church and monastic buildings began around this time. By 1250, parts of the complex were habitable. The monastery church was an asymmetrical, two-aisled hall with ribbed vaults, complemented by a rectangular cloister on the south side. In the 14th century, the monastery aligned with the moderate Conventuals but switched to the stricter Observant movement in the mid-15th century. After its destruction during the siege of Koblenz in 1688, the monastery was rebuilt between 1693 and 1696. In 1802, it was secularized by the French revolutionary army. From 1805, the complex was converted into a hospital, which served as the Bürgerhospital until 1923 and is considered the precursor to today's Kemperhof hospital. Later, it was used as a retirement home.

The former Franciscan Monastery was situated in the old town of Koblenz, a city in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It was located on Castorstraße, approximately halfway between St. Castor's Collegiate Church and the Kornpforte.

The monastic complex was destroyed in 1944 during air raids in World War II. Today, only a section of a wall remains on the street “Am Alten Hospital,” commemorating its former use as a hospital.
