Neuendorf was first mentioned in 1289 under the name Nova villa . The population lived from agriculture and viticulture , which was practiced in the village until the 18th century. In addition, fishing and rafting were an important source of income. The residents of Neuendorf have been counted among the citizens of Koblenz since the 14th century .

The village on the banks of the Rhine was closely connected to the neighboring Lützel. From there, in the event of fires or the effects of war, residents were repeatedly taken in to Neuendorf, the new village of Lützel. For example, when Lützel was completely destroyed by French troops during the siege of Koblenz in 1688 in the Palatinate War of Succession . With that, the Petrus patronage came to Neuendorf and from 1723–1725 the Catholic parish church of St. Peter was built in place of the Job Chapel, which was built in 1494. Both districts were officially merged in 1702.

With the takeover of the Rhineland by Prussia , the Koblenz fortress was built at the beginning of the 19th century . As part of the fortress system, the Neuendorfer Flesche was built in Lützel and the Rheinschanze in the Neuendorfer area .

Initially, the district with Lützel belonged to the city of Koblenz, but was then spun off in 1857 and added to the mayor's office of St. Sebastian . From 1887 Neuendorf came to the district of Koblenz and a little later, on July 1, 1891, was incorporated back into Koblenz together with Lützel .
