I have read that there is a Buslinie 1 going from the KD Anlegestelle (landing) to the DB Hbf. How can I find a map which shoes this?
You'll find a line map under this link:
http://www.vrminfo.de/vrm/pdf/download/Liniennetzplan-Koblenz.pdf
Line 1 runs between the main station and the ferry piers (busstop 'Rheinfähre'). Thats also where the ships from KD land.
For a street map follow this link:

The piers are marked with an A. I hope you'll enjoy your river cruise.
here another map

The boat piers are in fields H12/I12.
You can also the bus line 1 as a red line. Stop Rheinfähre as red dot on Konrad-Ad(e)nauer-Ufer (dot location marked with ()). Stop Deutsches Eck as red dot on Danzig(e)r Freiheit.

Unless you're loaded with luggage, Koble3nz is a pretty small place easy to walk (well, at least I did). You can even go to Google maps and enter Koblenz. The KD (assuming the Rhine tour ship) lands close to Deutsch's Eck (hope I did not misspell) - where the Rhine meets the Mosel.
If you look at Google maps, using the two main roads as quadrants, you'll see the HBF diagonally across.
ps. if you're referring to a different pier, please disregard my response as it only applies to the Rhine sight seeing KD line.
Thank you very much for the references. I had already found those specific maps on the Internet. They do not show enough information for me to determine the actual walking distances. One map (Google)shows streets but no Haltestelle nor Anlegestelle. The bus line plan is not intended to show distances.
Therefore, I continued to search for specific information. Had I not already found the maps you cite, they would have been most helpful, and I thank you again.
The map I linked shows the single piers and the bus stops. The blue grid lines on the map are 1 km apart.
The map you cited, ...Innenstadt.html, is more complete in some respects than the other 5 or 6 maps that I already found on the Internet. It is useful to me.
Now, I am going to look for ways to convert it to PDF, or other wise learn how to capture high-resolution portions of it. Is it possible that you know of a way to get this map in PDF, rather than html?
I expect that we will be burdened with luggage. We will be schlepping everything that we brought from California for a three-week trip to Germany. Some sources have told us that it is 2200 meters from the KD Anlegestelle to the DB Hbf. I am now thinking that we will try the Buslinie Nr. 1, and hope that the Haltestelle is not too far a walk. I will not for a minute allow the fact that I am past 75 years of age be considered a de facto disability, but possibly it will be a consideration in deciding how far I am willing to walk with a lot of luggage.
Thanks for the information
The town of St Goar and the St Goar Castle on top of the hill...
Our cruise up the Rhine was great, we saw some gorgeous towns and seeing all the castles up on the hills was my favourite part!!
We didn't stop at many of the towns along the way but we will go again one day.
This little shop on Eltzerhofstraße is the Koblenz Environmental Office, home to organizations such as ÖKOSTADT Koblenz e.V., which publishes a quarterly environmental magazine for Koblenz, and other progressive and environmental organizations.
These worthy organizations really have their work cut out for them, because most of the Koblenz city administration is still firmly automobile-oriented at the expense of public health, safety and sanity.
Second photo: This sign shows the organizations which have there headquarters in KUBA. I am a member of two of these, VCD and ADFC, but in Frankfurt not Koblenz.
Third photo: The Eltzerhofstraße is a "play street", meaning that motorists theoretically have to share it with non-motorized human beings.
KUBA is at Eltzerhofstraße 10, near the Moselle River and Peter-Altmeier-Ufer.
Bus # 1 stops at Eltzerhofstraße.
Pfalz or Pfalzgrafenstein is the name of this wonderful castle that was built on a small island in the river Rhine, opposite of the village Kaub at the right bank and Oberwesel at the left bank. Burg Pfalz is in a distance of 33 km upstream from Koblenz. In medieval times a strong chain held up all the ship-trafic passing by this castle and high taxes had to be payed by the merchants passing by.
In the village KAUB you may take a ferry that will take you there and you may visit the castle-interior.
In December and every 1st workingday of the week it is closed.
January - March : 09.00a.m.-01.00p.m. + 02.00p.m.-05.00p.m.
October - November 09.00a.m.-01.00p.m. + 02.00p.m.-05.00p.m.
April - September 09.00a.m.-01.00p.m. + 02.00p.m.-06.00p.m.
Last entry is 1 hour before closing !!
The ferry to the island is leaving in Kaub. During the day a large car-ferry goes across the river there !
If you are on the Eurail pass, you can get on the K-D line from Koblenz to Cochem on the Mosel river for free. There is only one boat per day from Koblenz - at 0945, and it takes five hours to get to Cochem (only an hour by train tho), but it is a nice ride. Nice views along the river, and with the right company, time will fly by. You will see cute towns, churches, and ruins along the way. You'll pass a few locks, wineries, mountains. The boat also has a return trip back to Koblenze in the evening, but we took the train back since we had to go back to Holland that night.
In May 2006 I saw a performance here in the Koblenz City Theater of Die weiße Rose (The White Rose) by Udo Zimmermann (born 1943). This is a short opera about the life and death of Hans and Sophie Scholl, a brother and sister who formed an anti-Nazi resistance group called The White Rose in Munich during the Second World War.
In 1943, eight months before the composer was born, Hans and Sophie were caught distributing anti-Nazi leaflets at the university in Munich. They were condemned to death for this, and were executed the same day.
A new production of the same opera, staged by the actor Christoph Quest and featuring Britta Stallmeister as Sophie, will be shown in Frankfurt at the Bockenheimer Depot in March 2007.
The composer Udo Zimmermann is better known as an orchestra conductor and opera manager. He was the General Director (Intendant) of the Leipzig Opera from 1990 to 2001, and held the same post at the Deutsche Oper Berlin from 2001 to 2004.
Second photo: People taking their seats in the Koblenz Theater for Zimmermann's opera.
Third photo: Since this opera is about resistance against the Nazis, they were allowed to use a Nazi flag on the stage. Ordinarily it is illegal in Germany to display any sort of Nazi symbols.
