Built 1818-1828 as part of the preuss. Coblenz Fortress (in front of the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress). Named after General E.-L. von Aster.

After 100 years of military use, the softening with the razing of the outdoor facilities and later left to decay for various civil uses, a citizens' initiative tried, voluntarily / free of charge, to preserve the remaining redoubt from 1996 to 2009.
In a painstaking process, the municipal facility was cleared, looked after, secured, made usable and presented to the public.

Fort Asterstein was part of the Prussian fortress Koblenz and belonged to the Pfaffendorfer Höhe system. Of the fort built in the 1820s and partially razed in the 1920s, the reduit in today's Koblenz district of Asterstein, for which it was named, has been completely preserved.
