It is important to point out the differences, because while Koblenz draws the image of a dangerous city, there are other places in Rhineland-Palatinate that are shaped by a positive image. Mainz, for example, is classified by a statistics of the Allianz Direct Versicherung as one of the safest major cities in Germany, which forms a significant contrast to Koblenz.trends in crime and their importance
