Koblenz-Mitte is a statistical district of Koblenz . Together with the south adjoining statistical district south, it forms the southern suburb . According to the recommendation of the German Association of Cities, this is subdivided into the middle and south for statistical reasons within the framework of the small-scale structure .

The southern suburb was created from 1890 in the course of the southern city expansion after the Prussian city ​​fortifications were abandoned . The statistical district of Mitte lies between the old town (delimited: Friedrich-Ebert-Ring), Goldgrube (Bahndamm / Obere Löhrstrasse) and South (Markenbildchenweg).
