Up for sale is a brand new, NEW RELEASE, still in the orginal package, unused Original Starbucks Spangdahlem, Germany Coffee Mug purchased by me here in Germany. This mug is "Manufactured for Starbucks Coffee Company Seattle, WA. This mug features the Eltz Castle on the back, a medieval castle nestling in the hills above the Moselle River between Koblenz and Trier, Germany and the Cochem Castle on the front. When the armies of King Louis XIV (the Sun King) invaded the Rhine and the Moselle in 1688 during the war of succession of the Palatinate, Cochem castle, was occupied, torched and finally destroyed in 1689. The castle remained in ruins until 1868, when a Berlin businessman, Mr. Louis Ravené, brought the castle lands and the ruins and began reconstruction work on Cochem Castle incorporating the remains of the late Gothic buildings. The entire castle was rebuilt in the then popular Neo-Gothic architectural style. Spangdahlem Air Base has been a military presence in Germany for over five decades. With the creation of NATO in response to Cold War tensions in Europe, USAFE wanted its vulnerable fighter units in West Germany moved west of the Rhein River to provide greater air defense warning time. France agreed to provide air base sites within their zone of occupation in the Rheinland-Palatinate as part of the NATO expansion program.
