Deutscher Kaiser stands in Koblenz (Koblenz), in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Standing in the old town of Koblenz, this late Gothic residential tower owes its present name to the inn that later occupied the building, long after its original construction by a local merchant. It remains the last surviving example of this kind of stone tower house that once lined the Kastorstraße. The building escaped the 1944 air raids unscathed even as the surrounding street was almost entirely destroyed, leaving it as a distinctive landmark today.

It is listed as a Kulturdenkmal in Germany and forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley site.
