Initially it was named Sportfreunde Rot-Weiß Koblenz, being prohibited by the French occupation authorities to carry the title Turnen (English: Gymnastics) in its name or have a gymnastics department.

In 1951, after this ban had been lifted, the club adopted the name, TuS Rot-Weiß Koblenz.

By the time the season was abandoned because of the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany, they had only earned 5 points in 22 games without a single win, finishing in last place.

On 1 July 2021, the football department was split off from the rest of the sports club and was renamed to FC Rot-Weiß Koblenz.
