Monheim am Rhein, Rhine riverside town in Mettmann district, Germany.

Monheim am Rhein stretches along the eastern bank of the Rhine River, covering 23 square kilometers between Düsseldorf and Leverkusen in North Rhine-Westphalia.

First documented in 1150 as a fishing village in the Earldom of Berg, Monheim became an administrative center for surrounding settlements in 1363.

The 26-meter Schelmenturm tower from the 15th century and Deusserhaus mansion from 1848 represent key architectural landmarks of Monheim's heritage.

The town connects to major cities through the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Ruhr transport network, with regular services to Düsseldorf located 15 kilometers north.

Haus Bürgel, positioned on Monheim's border, began as a Roman fortress and transformed through centuries into a medieval castle with preserved foundations.
