Gerresheim, Residential locality in District 7, Düsseldorf, Germany

This eastern quarter of Düsseldorf spans 6.68 square kilometers and features both modern residential zones and preserved historical buildings throughout its streets.

Founded in 870 by nobleman Gerricus around a women's abbey, Gerresheim received city rights in 1368 and merged with Düsseldorf in 1909.

The Basilica Saint Margaretha, built in 1236, contains a 10th-century crucifix and an 11th-century Gospel book among its religious artifacts.

Three regional train lines S8, S68, and S28 connect through Gerresheim station, providing direct access to Düsseldorf Central Station and Wuppertal.

The Gerresheimer Glashütte, established in 1864, developed into the world's largest glassworks before closing in 2005, attracting Italian workers to the area.
