Boroughs
Because of the Kommunalreform in 1970 four villages next to Mayen were incorporated. The four villages now belong officially to the town and became Boroughs of Mayen. Nowadays the Boroughs are still village-like and maintain most of the Agriculture of Mayen. The Boroughs are
- Alzheim (Population approx. 1300), to the south
- Hausen (Population approx. 1500), to the east, towards Koblenz
- Kürrenberg (Population approx. 1200), to the west, towards Nürburgring
- Nitztal (Population approx. 180), to the north, towards Schloss Bürresheim
The Population of Alzheim and Hausen is increasing in the last years, due to the creation of new residential areas.
