In 2023, climate activists petitioned the city of Koblenz, in an effort to protect the old beech forest in Kolenz-Arzheim.[1]
Historical documents are proof, that the first mentioning of Arzheim has been in 868 A.D. However, excavations show that settlement in this area dates back to some time in B.C.
Arzheim is well known in the surroundings of Koblenz for its many festivals where the whole community gathers. Most famous is the annual Kirmes (a type of fun fair involving drinking and dancing) in August and the Carnival in February.
