Wittlaer

Wittlaer is a locality in northern Düsseldorf that spreads along the eastern bank of the Rhine River. The area incorporates several communities, creating a cohesive residential region with parks and open spaces.

The area was first documented in the 12th century when it was already inhabited. St. Remigius Church, recorded in 1292, shows the community had established structure and religious life by that time.

St. Remigius Church stands as the focal point with its Romanesque design and decorative elements spanning centuries. Visitors see how the interior craftsmanship reflects the care people invested in the space over generations.

The U79 underground line connects the area with Düsseldorf and Duisburg, while bus lines offer direct access to the airport and other neighborhoods. Visitors should use public transport to navigate comfortably between the different communities.

The Schwarzbach River flows into the Rhine at this location, marking the lowest point in Düsseldorf's elevation. This geographic feature interests anyone curious about the water systems shaping the city.
