The old town of Koblenz is the original cell of the city. The district includes the settlement area of Koblenz from the Roman foundation 9 BC to 1890. After that, the city fortifications were dismantled and the city was able to expand its settlement area. Many localities in the vicinity were incorporated by 1970 and today form the city of Koblenz.
